This is all too common. Developers fell all trees on newly purchased private land prior to submitting planning permission to avoid any planning restrictions due to the trees. Something must change in the law. altrincham.todaynews.co.uk/2023/04/26/new…

Today @PACE_News recognized Russia's deportations and forcible transfers of Ukrainian children as genocide. Punishment will come for all Russian criminals. pace.coe.int/en/files/31776

These votes were 10 days apart. North Dakota GOP (@NDHouseGOP) •Voted NO on free school lunches for hungry kids😳 •Then Voted YES on free breakfast, lunch, & dinner for themselves🤔 I’m beyond enraged at these cruel backward MAGA extremist politicians. A special place in hell

💔 The Kyiv-Mohyla family lost another one of its brightest members in 🇷🇺 genocidal war against 🇺🇦. Sergeant Oleksandr Polivodskyi (October 9, 1973 - April 19, 2023) died while performing a combat mission in the Bakhmut area. Oleksandr was a faculty member of Kyiv-Mohyla School of Law, and also at the National Academy of Law of Ukraine. He was an associate professor, a PhD candidate, a highly professional jurist who made a huge contribution to the study of law in Ukraine. His colleagues and friends remember him for his courage, stability, sincerity, and kindness. He was a great patriot of Ukraine. We express our sincere gratitude and respect for his service in defense of Ukraine. Respect to a true Hero. Deepest condolences to the famiy, wife Stanislava, daughter Sofia and son Taras.

Vladimir Kara-Murza: The UK Must Sanction Russian officials for their role in the illegal hostage taking of ⁦@vkaramurza⁩. The US and Canada have done it but the UK (where he holds citizenship) hasn’t. Very well argued piece by ⁦@edwardlucas⁩ cepa.org/article/toxic-…

“@vkaramurza ‘s speeches and words are not treason and not criminal. They are brimming with aspirations for a free Russia, a vision that seems distant at this grim moment but remains worth fighting for.” washingtonpost.com/opinions/2023/…

Study finds that kids who #cycle or walk to school, do measurably better on tasks demanding concentration and that the effects last for up to four hours after they get to school. From 2012, but still totally relevant! bloomberg.com/news/articles/… via @CityLab @EuCyclistsFed

300,000 followers here as of today. Will forever be humbled by all the wonderful people here who deeply care for Ukraine and wish Ukraine a speedy Victory with their whole hearts. Thank you! 💙💛 Let's mark the occasion by spreading the call to ban Russia and Belarus from the Olympics! Please share the post far and wide, not just on Twitter. Russia killed more than 200 Ukrainian athletes. The mere presence of terrorist state representatives at the Olympics is the manifestation of violence and lawlessness.

Ukrainian refugees in Berlin face repeated threats & attacks since start of full-scale war, with 3250 crimes reported Physical assaults, threats & insults are among crimes, as UA refugees report discrimination based on nationality/language euromaidanpress.com/2023/03/30/325…

I was a young man when the Central Park 5 were convicted, not much older than the five young men who were wrongly convicted of the heinous attack on a jogger. trump took out a full page ad in four newspapers, stating those boys should be given the death penalty. They were exonerated by DNA and a confession by the man who was solely responsible in 2002, after most of them had already lost at least 7 years of their lives in prison. In 2019, trump would not walk back his position, he STILL believed they were guilty. Now, trump will likely be arraigned in the same building that the Central Park Five were. Dr. Yusef Salaam, one of the members of that group of exonerated men, issued a one word statement about the indictment: "Karma."

Ukrainian tennis player Serhiy Stakhovskyi, who joined the Ukrainian Armed Forces when Russia began its invasion of Ukraine, calls to ban Russian & Belarusian athletes from the 2024 Olympics in a heartfelt video message.

Bakhmut 2023. Thousands of Ukrainian musicians have joined the Ukrainian Armed Forces to defend their country. Brave warriors and wonderful people. It is important that Ukrainian warriors keep their humanity, because russians have already lost theirs.
