Now there are tanks

Fierce Planet Posted on January 30, 2023 by jnfrJanuary 30, 2023

Believe me I am aware of how strange it may seem that I, an old-fashioned peace activist who spent years working with Quaker pacifists, stand 100% with Ukraine as it wages a war of self-defense. My approach to this situation arises from discussions I’ve had with other activists about the nature of pacifist beliefs, and what it means to engage in nonviolent resistance. The discussions back then mostly focused on objections from those of us who were committed to a feminist vision of the future, a vision that definitely included the right of women to defend ourselves from predation. But … Continue reading →

Russian war crimes continue

Fierce Planet Posted on January 18, 2023 by jnfrJanuary 18, 2023

There is no question in my mind that Russia has committed and continues to commit war crimes through Putin’s invasion of Ukraine. From the dead bodies strewn in the streets of Bucha and other areas around Kyiv early in the invasion, to the piles of rubble and miles of graves that are all we have left of Mariupol and the people who lived there, to the tortured citizens of recently liberated Kherson, Russia and their mercenary armies have left a trail of agony, rape, and death that is clearly designed to terrorize the Ukrainian people. It is past time for … Continue reading →

Protests against dictators around the world

Fierce Planet Posted on September 22, 2022 by jnfrSeptember 29, 2022

As I return home, the world is in a state of turmoil in many places. I like to think that these uprisings against authoritarian regimes will continue and spread, but we know of course that such uprisings often get suppressed and the people who engage in them may end up dead or in prison. Which only highlights the incredible courage of those people who have taken to the streets this week in Russia and Iran. In many ways it’s easy for me to be an activist, though I’ve had moments in my life where I felt quite scared to speak … Continue reading →

About that agreement on the Ukrainian grain shipments

Fierce Planet Posted on July 23, 2022 by jnfrJuly 23, 2022

It does seem that mistrusting Russia is still the smartest position to take. #Ukraine 🇺🇦: Russian missiles struck the port of #Odesa today. By attacking the port the #Kremlin is making sure no captain dares to dock at the ports, meaning the Russians are actively sabotaging the grain deal they signed. pic.twitter.com/tB2rCdW5IU — Thomas van Linge (@ThomasVLinge) July 23, 2022

Read it all. Russia has a hunger plan. Vladimir Putin is preparing to starve much of the developing world as the next stage in his war in Europe. 1/16 — Timothy Snyder (@TimothyDSnyder) July 2, 2022 Edit to add, 7/22/22: Maybe this will be averted. It’s hard for me to trust Russia right now. Russia and Ukraine agree to release blockaded grain exports

And in Ukraine

Fierce Planet Posted on June 27, 2022 by jnfrJuly 13, 2022

Putin is a pure terrorist. As night began to fall, rescuers brought lights and generators to continue the search. Worried family members, some close to tears and with hands over their mouths, lined up at a hotel across the street from the mall where rescue workers had set up a base. https://t.co/g4dbzBMl46 — tom balmforth (@BalmforthTom) June 27, 2022 6/28/22 ETA: Word is currently that 25 people are known dead, 21 others are missing.

One more reason the mid-terms are essential

Fierce Planet Posted on June 12, 2022 by jnfrJune 12, 2022

Because Russia thinks Republicans will win. This compilation of clips explains why the Russians think they're winning and don't need to negotiate. Spoiler: they're waiting for the GOP to prevail in midterms and abandon Ukraine. They're also encouraged by our media coverage—especially Tucker Carlson.https://t.co/h05qK1g2fs pic.twitter.com/XBw1G3VTHY — Julia Davis (@JuliaDavisNews) June 9, 2022

Aftermath of Mariupol

Fierce Planet Posted on June 11, 2022 by jnfrJuly 13, 2022

Mariupol was turned into a cemetery. Mass burials on city outskirts, graves in front of residential buildings, thousands left under the rubble. Death toll is unimaginable, number of lives ruined is uncountable. Russia’s main export is death & destruction.pic.twitter.com/i8tikLyfpW — Oleksiy Sorokin (@mrsorokaa) June 11, 2022
