An anniversary we never wanted to mark. A date we never wanted to remember.

Four years since #Russia launched its full-scale invasion of #Ukraine.

For every Ukrainian, life split into โ€œbeforeโ€ and โ€œafterโ€.

If you watch only one thing today.
This is it.

As some who studied @ZelenskyyUa speeches. This one is back to basics. We, the people, together united are what makes Ukraine strong.

Shoring up that state centered civic duty.

Polish president proposes law jailing officials who question his powers

The current government has condemned his "autocratic" plans.

โ€œWe wonโ€™t stop until we prevail.โ€

Students are marching in Tbilisi, Georgia, demanding university autonomy and protesting Georgian Dreamโ€™s unconstitutional interference in how many students state universities can admit and which academic fields they are allowed to teach.

As someone who lived in late communist Poland, I can tell you that Western solidarity meant a lot to us. Iranian students deserve our support -- even if it's 'just words'.

Shop 19 was damaged, and a hole 30ร—24 meters is clearly visible.

It looks like the internal area burned out completely
