A heartbreaking moment that was saved by an SS photographer at Auschwitz II-Birkenau during the deportations of Hungarian Jews. It was taken 80 years ago, most likely in late May 1944. A little child finds a dandelion in the grass and is handing it or showing it to an older boy.

Russia's tactics are terrorist tactics, by any legal or moral definition. I wrote this in July, 2022, but after the deliberate targeting of a shopping center and a book warehouse in Kharkiv, it needs to be repeated.

Ukraine is NOT russia.
Ukraine is NOT a russian colony.
Ukraine is NOT "within russian sphere of influence, and thus should be given to russia as a property".
Ukrainians are NOT russians.
Ukrainian land is NOT russian land.
Ukrainian culture is NOT russian culture.

Russia bombs a European city of 1.2 Million!

At a Supermarket!

Then bombs it again 30 minutes later to kill the rescuers!

This is what the Epicenter supermarket looks like in Kharkov after Russian KAB attacks.

Russian propaganda tried to justify itself by saying that it was a blow to a military depot, but as usual, this lie immediately came out. 12 dead and about 43 wounded (updated)

A real war crime that has no statute of limitations

After yesterday's bombing of a large shopping center in Kharkiv, this is what we know:

Russia is believed to have been using two glide bombs for the attack, in which at least 11 people were killed, 16 more are missing, and 39 were injured.

The attack was carried out during opening hours on a Saturday, where most civilians are present.

The attack could likely have been prevented, had the US adminstation given Ukraine permission to shoot down enemy bomber aircraft near the border to Ukraine.

#Russia's border guard removed more than 20 buoys demarcating shipping lanes from the #Narva River on Thursday (May 23), #Estonia's PPA said.

Estonia installed the markers in its waters based on the State Borders Act and the buoys' location were agreed by the border agencies in 2022.

However, this year Russia disagreed with the locations of approximately half of the 250 markers. Some of those removed on Thursday morning were those disputed by Russia

People who were repeatedly vaccinated for COVID-19 — initially receiving shots aimed at the original variant, followed by boosters and updated vaccines targeting variants — generated antibodies capable of neutralizing a wide range of SARS-CoV-2 variants and even some distantly related coronaviruses.

🇷🇺 #Russia is likely to keep banking on various coercion tactics to bolster its military manpower in Ukraine, experts say, a strategy that has proven effective at ensuring a continuous supply of fresh recruits to the frontlines for the past two years.

Jak pisać o "profilowaniu biometrycznym klientów", nie używając zwrotu "profilowanie biometryczne" ani razu? Tak jak na screenie.

A serio, to jak jesteście klientami banku, który to oferuje (a kilka w 🇵🇱 oferuje), to sobie włączcie. Banki i tak mają więcej "poważniejszych" danych na Wasz temat, a te z profilowania biometrycznego mogą być ostatnią deską ratunku, kiedy ktoś inny niż Wy* będzie wyprowadzać Wam kasę z konta.

"Up to 3 billion euros ($3.26 billion) only this year, 90% goes for Ukraine's military. Russia must pay for its war damages," Czech Foreign Minister Jan Lipavsky said.
