Investigators are racing to document Russian war crimes in Ukraine, but as Reuters’ Anthony Deutsch reports, the Trump administration's cuts to foreign aid are leaving them with fewer resources and less hope for accountability reut.rs/436EKyB

This is Babi Yar, where the Nazis massacred 200,000 Ukrainian Jews, POWs, and others who stood against evil
I prayed here today that the tragedy of the Ukrainian people & this terrible war will end soon
🇺🇦 deserves peace & justice. We have waited long enough

This rather unScholz-like speech was given last night in Brandenburg. The video omits perhaps the spiciest line: "Dear screamers, Putin is the warmonger you'd be shouting at here if you had any sense in your brains".

Scholz’s indignation is absolutely righteous.
What a difference a year makes.

"That guy, you see that guy?"
"No."
"There's a guy who's running in front of the tank. He's standing right in front of it."

Here is the link to Evan Gershkovich's excellent article "Russia's economy is starting to come undone". Presumably this insightful article is the reason why he was arrested. The current Russian authorities are so predictable, just like the USSR.

In Deutschland werden an diesem Samstag Menschen auf die Straße gehen, um Verhandlungen mit Russland zu fordern. Vor einiger Zeit habe ich die ukrainische Friedensnobelpreisträgerin Oleksandra Matwijtschuk gefragt, was sie von solchen Forderungen hält. Das ist ihre Antwort:

Yes....press freedom is a wonderful thing. It's good that Mr. Liu has much access on the scene in Ohio.
Meanwhile, foreign journalists in Mainland China that have attempted to cover the peaceful "white paper" protests are harassed or get dragged off and detained by the PSB.

After nearly three years being told that trying to coexist with COVID-19 would be catastrophic, many people in China think there's a big risk in opening up, despite the growing lockdown frustrations. reut.rs/3EWvgcH

This was such a brilliant video I subtitled it so more people can watch it. Beijing students' response last night to accusations that there are 'foreign forces' at play in this weekend's protests
'The foreign forces you are talking about – are they Marx and Engels?'

北京亮马桥
有学生指出，在我们的周围有境外反华势力，导致群众群情激愤；有学生回应称“你说的境外势力，是马克思和恩格斯吗！”
学生继续询问道：“请问新疆的火是境外势力放的吗？请问贵州的大巴是境外势力推翻的吗？”
我们连网都上不到国外的！我们哪来的境外势力！我们只有境内势力不让我们聚集！

A thread here for those who don't understand why the China protests over the weekend protests are so shockingly rare.
Surveillance. In. China. Is. Extreme. Think you could evade Chinese police? Let's walk through it:

"There's tons of people protesting, they'll never catch me," nope - Chinese police stations use huge networks of facial recognition cameras that can retroactively trace people for days or even months.

‘Acceptance’ is usually more a matter of fatigue than anything else. (DFW in Infinite Jest)
I think everyone currently living in #China can relate to this sentence.

Without a green health code you cannot enter any building. I informed the Neighborhood Committee that controls the backend of the system about the mistake, they insisted I still had to go through the procedures to unblock the app (nose swabs, documents). To no avail. 2/3
