The moment the mother of Iranian protestor Mohsen Shekari, age 23, learns he’s been hanged for “waging war against God”. The regime told her to stay silent to win his release. This execution was meant to deter further dissent, but likely does the opposite. x.com/1500tasvir/status/1600…

⁦@AirCanada⁩ Hysterical! Your email announcing the (additional) cancellations says “call us” but when I call, the prerecorded message says you’re overwhelmed by calls. It’s unethical to keep booking so many flights when the record shows you know you won’t be able to fly

Pearly Young, 77, was killed today in #Buffalo shopping for groceries. For 25 years she ran a pantry where every Saturday she fed people in Central Park. Every. Saturday. She loved singing, dancing, & being with family. She was mother, grandma, & missionary. Gone too soon 🕊

This beautiful family doesn’t exist any more. Mykhailo Soloshenko, his wife Inna and son Yefrem were killed when a Russian tank fired on their car. Mykhailo was a Sumy University graduate - they confirmed his passing and released this photo.

And with the Bills kneeling it out, they’re going to do it. No kicks or punts. No turnovers. Also no failed 4th down attempts. Wow - an incredible game and a first in NFL history!

Three graves. An Iraqi, a Syrian and a Yemeni. All died at the Belarusian Polish border. This image embodies an entire generation: people on the run to live with the dignity they couldn’t find at home.

One of the wealthiest men in all human history remains so unfulfilled by the material environs his riches can procure for him that he devotes his mind to escaping the material world entirely. It feels too much like a parable to be real.

Chaos and tragedy are one part of the global story centred on Kabul; the other is a West getting its act together. I describe how, in a piece for today's Hindustan Times (@htTweets). hindustantimes.com/opinion/d…
