Absolutely evil strike on innocent civilians at the railway station — 4 jet-powered drones hit the platform and trains. A train with evacuees from Zaporizhzhia had just arrived, and people were running to the shelter when the drones hit. Barbaric.
A horrific Russian strike on the railway station in Dnipro. The Russians launched a drone attack on a platform where an ordinary commuter train and a scheduled passenger train were standing. Unfortunately, 13 people have been confirmed killed as of now. My condolences to their . Ten more people were injured. All necessary emergency services are working at the scene.

Just how many terrorist strikes has Russia carried out against our people since sanctions were lifted on certain Russian oligarchs and the Russian energy sector, rather than de-escalating? This is precisely why Ukraine has always said that just and decisive action by America and Europe is needed in response to Russian escalation – sanctions against Moscow and its war machine must not be eased for as long as this Russian war continues. It is time for new, stronger sanctions steps by the EU, the United States, and the G7. I thank everyone who is ready to help in this way.

In case you thought this was ever about NATO or the Nazis.
Russian President Vladimir Putin cited genetics to declare that Russians and Ukrainians are “one people” and reiterated his claim to Ukrainian territory, saying: “I think that it is not their territory but the historical territory of Russia.” wapo.st/48aZaZF

Ukraine can't destroy Gazprom's pipelines because doing so inconveniences German consumers.
Ukraine can't hit Russian refineries because that inconveniencs US consumer.
Russia, on the other hand, can destroy Ukraine's energy grid because it inconveniences no one.
Shameful.

Some people are so utterly out of their damn minds from sheer boredom, a complete failure to appreciate the extraordinary comfort, freedom, and safety their lives are built on, and narrow-minded conspiratorial thinking that they can no longer tell night from day, an aggressor from a victim, or cause from effect.
Francesca Albanese accusa la NATO – non la Russia – di tenere aperta la guerra in Ucraina, chiede di togliere le armi a Kyiv e, quando arriva il momento di spiegare come fermare la guerra, ammette: «non ce l’ho la soluzione».

Quindi l’aggressore resta armato, l’aggredito no e la inua è della NATO.

Una narrazione colonialista, complottista e perfettamente sovrapponibile alla propaganda russa. Da una relatrice speciale dell’ONU è davvero agghiacciante.

Not every call for #peace challenges the politics of violence; some reinforce it. That’s the premise of our new article:

I’m looking for domestic court decisions issued after 2015 concerning Article 31 of the Refugee Convention for research purposes. If you know of any—or can point me in the right direction—please do get in touch. Many thanks!

As I always say, enjoy talking about socialism now, because once you have it your opinion won’t matter anymore.

the Refugee Convention’s more limited legal architecture. In the Global North in particular, it is also shaped by pressure on domestic welfare systems, where family reunification and child protection can operate as a cost-multiplying mechanism. 2/ academic.oup.com/ijrl/advance-a…

While I process my disappointment over the lack of a ceasefire order, I want to once again commend the South African team.

In their words:

"South Africa is here before this Court, in the Peace Palace. It has done what it could."

The legal wing of humanity, one might say.

no one in academia is cool. absolutely nobody at all.
Academia is like high school. There are the cool kids doing research that everyone talks about, and it's pretty hard to get into those circles.
