Matt Taibbi...what sad, disgraceful downfall. I swear, kids, he did good work back in the day. Should be a cautionary tale for everyone. Selling your soul for the richest white nationalist on Earth. Well, he'll eat well for the rest of his life I guess. But is it worth it?

This awareness of emptiness is the “insight that brings us to the other shore,” awakening us to our interdependence and giving rise to boundless compassion. That was Brent’s rare gift; his great understanding. @carolyn_greg @tricyclemag @niemanfdn bit.ly/3ufuSkg

"There's a lot of disinformation and misinformation being pushed around about Ukraine right now. This is a moment where taking the extra time to verify reporting is even more essential than usual." –@emilyhorne46 cnn.it/3Imejbu

An important watch. A full on paranoid seething fascist. That’s what we’re dealing with. #Ukraine

I have translated and added subtitles to the latest video speech by Vladimir Putin from two hours ago. Please don’t let it go in vain - I want everyone to see what a speech of true fascism looks like.
No further comment needed, it’s all here, in his speech

Ukraine gained a complete victory in its case against Russia at the International Court of Justice. The ICJ ordered to immediately stop the invasion. The order is binding under international law. Russia must comply immediately. Ignoring the order will isolate Russia even further

Thank you for calling attention to Brent’s sacrifice.

Putin’s barbaric actions murdering Brent Renaud and other innocent civilians are testing not just Ukraine but all of humanity.
Speaking to President @ZelenskyyUa I assured him that we will continue to do all that we can to bring an end to this disastrous conflict.

Journalists take enormous risk when reporting from war zones. Their courageous and heroic work provides the world with the truth essential to freedom and eventual peace. My prayers go to the loved ones of Pierre Zakrzewski & Brent Renaud, and to Benjamin Hall for a full recovery.

It’s time for once and for all acknowledge that fixers are essential workers for western media outlets. Covering conflicts wouldn’t be possible without them. The precarious work conditions and no bylines for them should end ASAP

This is the Ukrainian member of the @FoxNews crew. She was killed today alongside their cameraman.
Fox News doesn’t even mention her in their report.

Thank you for your kind and sincere letter of condolences. As Brent’s family, we’re touched that you would take the time to share in our grief, even as you lead the Ukrainian people in a fight for their homeland and democracy itself. We stand with you and the people of Ukraine.🇺🇦

"Brent cared more about the story and the truth than anything else."
