Infant murdered by Russians today. Mom was taking the baby out for fresh air when a Russian UAV hit. Every day is a new outrage. Every day.

On November 22, 1963, three shots were fired in Dallas. The horrific images are still vivid. I was a 31-year-old unknown Secret Service agent, suddenly thrust into history. At 92, I have come to terms with my place in history. I tried. I was unsuccessful, but at least I tried.

Many people put a huge amount of work into this cover package. I hope it gets Sudan more of the attention it deserves
The war in Sudan has received a fraction of the attention given to Gaza and Ukraine. Yet it threatens to be deadlier than either conflict. It is possible to save millions of lives, if the world acts now econ.st/3AFKbcJ

“There is no document of civilisation”, wrote the critic Walter Benjamin, “that is not at the same time a document of barbarism”. Take a holiday in a storied European city and you see what he meant econ.st/4dBFlLX 👇

A lot of racist hate being directed at my colleague Shashank. These people are pathetic. I’m standing proudly in solidarity with him as well as with the millions of children of immigrants and those, like me, who are immigrants themselves.

Today is fifteen years since the Chechen human rights activist Natasha Estemirova was assassinated in Russia’s North Caucasus region.

A few words about her in this thread.

My God, I haven't checked my phone for an hour. In that hour, I’ve already become a terrorist.
