Take a moment to look at the inhumanity captured in this extraordinary photo running on the front page of tonight's Minneapolis @StarTribune. It shows federal immigration agents immobilizing a protester on the ground and spraying chemical irritant directly into his face. The scene reminds me of the brutality used against civil rights protesters in the 1960s. We look back at those old photos and wonder how the authorities could have behaved so savagely; many years from now, young Americans will look at these photos from 2026 and wonder how anyone could have justified shooting a woman in the head as she tried to drive away, arresting 5-year-old schoolchildren on the street, or holding a man down and spaying chemicals into his face. Thanks to the Star Tribune reporters and photographers for documenting this work; they create accountability, they make democracy work, and they make all of us in journalism proud.
Russia has also amended federal law to expedite the conferral of 🇷🇺 citizenship on Ukraine’s children. This allows for children’s identities to be changed upon being adopted in Russia––making them harder to find + return to Ukraine.
@nattyray11@HRL_YaleSPH@RFERL Tragic and disgusting. A clear example of how these cuts are about so much more than money. Time to at least hold Musk accountable and boycott his platform.
📣 Last Friday news broke that @HRL_YaleSPH team tracking children abducted by Russia lost its US state dept. funding. I haven’t spoken publicly about it until now. Today I gave one on-the-record interview and I gave it (appropriately, I think) to @RFERLrferl.org/a/yale-ukraine…
