Goodbye Twitter. So much for the Free Speech and all that. I thought about leaving when it became X. Blocking Signal links and the big "Department of Government Efficiency" mess is the last drop. I'm out. Find me at bsky.app/profile/simon-forsb… , until Elon blocks that link too.

In informal talks 🇷🇺 is rumored to ask for 🇺🇦 to reduce its army to a fifth. That’s resonable only if the 🇷🇺 army is reduced to less than a fifth of its previous size. Otherwise it’s just an effort by 🇷🇺 to prepare for its next wave of aggression and ought to be treated as such.

We call on the Ukrainian and international community to help us to find and release Victoria Roshchyna, Hromadske journalist 3/3

As we learned from witnesses, at that time the journalist was in the temporarily occupied Berdiansk. On March 16, we learned that the day before (probably March 15), Victoria Roshchyna was detained by the Russian FSB. Currently, we do not know where she is 2/3

Our journalist Victoria Roshchyna is held captive by the Russian occupiers. She was reporting from hotspots in Eastern and Southern Ukraine since the beginning of the Russian-Ukrainian war. On March 12, we couldn't contact Victoria 1/3

This is truly disgraceful. Despicable. Any thought of inviting this man to an 🇪🇺 summit should be shelved. xitter.cf/AlexTaylorNews/status/…
For @BorisJohnson "freedom" apparently means leaving the EU with #Brexit, while Ukrainians are literally fighting for their lives for the freedom to join #EU. Be careful with your words, Boris. #StandWithUkraine

Nuclear terrorism requires decisive action in response. At the #UN Security Council meeting, we called for closing the sky over 🇺🇦 and launching an operation to maintain peace and security. The goal is to save hazardous facilities. The world must not watch, but help!

I still can’t get past the fact that Putin bombed a Holocaust memorial while hunting down the Jewish leader of Ukraine, and he’s calling his actions “denazification”. There needs to be a word to describe this and nothing in our current lexicon really quite captures it.

11/12 If in order to stop the war we have to fill prisons and paddy wagons with ourselves, we will fill prisons and paddy wagons with ourselves.

10/12 But we must, gritting our teeth and overcoming fear, come out and demand an end to the war.
Each arrested person must be replaced by two newcomers.

Perhaps the biggest risk-calculation/moral dilemma of the war so far. A massive Russian convoy is abt 30 miles from Kyiv. The US/NATO could likely destroy it. But that would be direct involvement against Russia and risk, everything. Does the West watch in silence as it rolls?
#EU and #NATO are not fighting for #Ukraine,
but Ukraine is for sure fighting for EU and NATO.

If Facebook’s monopolistic behavior was checked back when it should’ve been (perhaps around the time it started acquiring competitors like Instagram), the continents of people who depend on WhatsApp & IG for either communication or commerce would be fine right now. Break them up.
I wonder if people have started hoarding toilet paper yet? It worked for the crisis last year🤷♂️ #InternetShutDown
I'm scheduled to host a short story book club session on Sunday with the theme "doomsday / apocalypse" and the #InternetShutDown is happening the same week. Coincidence? I think not!
