russian authorities have committed a wide range of violations of international human rights law and international humanitarian law in various regions of Ukraine, many of which amount to war crimes, the Independent International Commission of Inquiry on Ukraine said in a new report Thursday.

This changed the moment the first public account of the massacre appeared. Thompson broke cover.
He refused to keep quiet or minimise the crimes committed, despite pressure from press, the military and a hostile Congress determined to cast him as a traitor.
He stood up. He testified at the public enquiry. He was vilified by many. /14
The world would be a better place if every buying guide was as brutally honest as this one from @nilay_patel.

I love/hate this story.
I like the idea of getting of crows become my friends by leaving them nuts. But I think of the downsides. They scream at you!
Or, let's say you get picked up for questioning by the cops.
The cop asks you, "You're hanging out with all these crows..."
One of my co-workers is a crow. He shows up a couple of times a week, to knock on my office window and scream at me. I'm pretty sure he's an efficiency director.
Today I decided to appease my co-worker and leave mixed nuts on the windowsill. He showed up, screamed until the other efficiency director came, both ate the nuts, then paraded back and forth in front of my window, berating me for wasting time leaving nuts when I should have been working. Fine, be that way.
But I'll do it again. #Birds
On 16th March, 1968 Warrant Officer Hugh Thompson Jnr was flying helicopter reconnaissance for an attack on an alleged North Vietnamese-controlled village at My Lai.
As the ground attack developed below, Thompson realised he was in fact witnessing something something else:
A massacre.
He decided to act. /1 π§΅ #history #histodons
Apple's choice to distinguish an incoming Facetime call from a regular voice call by displaying a full-screen video preview on your phone's screen is actually a pretty smart #ux decision.
Speaking as someone who just narrowly avoided blindly clicking the "Accept Call" button and flashing my elderly mother, I appreciate it.
#Newsom wants to transform #SanQuentin using Scandinavian model
βWhatβs envisioned for San Quentin is on a different scale. The choice of this #prison is a statement by Newsom about justice reform & about #California β w potential not only to change what it means to serve time, but also to create a pathway to safer communities that our current system has failed to deliverβ
@drfunkybutt I donβt think itβs against mastodon etiquette to recommend people to follow.
All that youβre doing is telling people about another person whose content they may enjoy while simultaneously letting the content creator know that you like what theyβre doing.
It seems like a nice thing to do, as long as the intentions are genuine.

Oh, nothing to see here... Rosa Parks in one proposed FL social studies textbook reduced to a lady who "showed courage" and "rode the bus." With no mention of race or racism in the encounter. This is how fear is destroying public ed in FL. #EdScare Http://nyti.ms/3YUGFlj
