what would be the best non-hype (i.e. 'this changes everything' sensational crap to get books sold) account of drone warfare to read?

Today I had no internet all day because of Russian missiles. I have had little free time for the past few weeks and I'm constantly tired. I've been wanting to write some texts for a long time, but I can't due to circumstances. If someone wants my comment on some issues - not now

Nastya and I are looking for a 1-room flat in Berlin. I'm an editor at Russian anti-war media DOXA and fled house arrest in Moscow, Nastya is from Kyiv and she's organizing a hotline for Ukrainian female refugees in Poland.

Paypal @AskPayPal blocks the account of DOXA @doxa_journal without explaining the reason. We are Russian anti-war media, and we need the account to collect donations. Please RT so that Paypal unblocks our account ASAP...

Fucking hell
So Sweden gets a new right-wing government: M-KD-L minority with far-right SD support. The parties call their agreement the “Tidö Agreement” named after the place where they negotiated it. I dove into the 63-page document. So here’s a thread what the four parties agreed on 🧵

So every invasion in perpetuity involving a country with nukes means "anti-war" leftists think siding with it is the peaceful option. The non-nuclear option. Ok. You're gonna be real surprised about that decolonization of Israel baby

I was annoyed that my int’l colleagues in Ukraine weren’t doing enough stories on domestic politics and other “seemingly” mundane issues beyond the (undeniably important) daily coverage of the fighting. Then I realized it was the editors, not the journos who didn’t want that.

Looking at how much of the Western left can't take an adequate position regarding the Russo-Ukrainian war even after seven months of war has made me appreciate Bernie Sanders and the Squad even more. A short🧵 thread. 1/11
