What it's like for persecuted minorities to live under Taliban rule in Afghanistan - ABC News https://www.abc.net.au/news/2023-01-19/persecuted-minorities-living-under-the-taliban-in-afghanistan/101800300

"In Afghanistan, the women protesters have been awe-inspiring for us in the West. Despite risks of detention, abuse, torture or even death, these women have been coming out time and time again to protest for their basic human rights."

"We must not leave them alone in this global fight for women's rights."

Shabnam Nasimi.

It's Black History Month—or as the GOP call it—“Charge Teachers & Librarians with Felonies for Teaching Accurate American History Month.”

That said, I hope everyone (esp my white friends) uses this month as an opportunity to further educate yourself on Black history. To quote Dr. King: "Shallow understanding from people of goodwill is more frustrating than absolute misunderstanding from people of ill will. Lukewarm acceptance is much more bewildering than outright rejection."

Teachers, university staff and other workers who *aren't* on strike are deliberately not working in order to facilitate their colleagues who are. They're standing on picket lines. Their students are standing on picket lines. Central London is at a standstill because there's thousands marching with them.
The "government" is CHOOSING to do nothing.

The National Police are searching for the organizers of drunken parties where girls were insulted and humiliated. On January 31, journalist Yaroslava Kravchenko and several activists reported that young men had been organizing parties where girls were drugged with alcohol and drugs, raped, and then filmed and distributed on telegram channels. The police have identified the suspects and their locations and have opened a criminal investigation.

On the day of searches, law enforcement officers visited a number of officials, raising suspicions of potential dismissals. Those officials include Vadym Stolar, Ministry of Defense officials, Arsen Avakov, Ihor Kolomoisky, and State Customs Service officials. It is believed that Stolar's case is related to the financing of terrorism, Ministry of Defense officials are suspected of fraud in public procurement, Avakov's case is related to the plane crash in Brovary and the purchase of French Airbus helicopters, Kolomoisky's case is related to fraud around Ukrtatnafta and Ukrnafta, and the head of the Servant of the People faction has announced the dismissal of the entire management of the Customs Service and the appointment of new officials in the spring.

Residents of the temporarily occupied city of Melitopol reported a large fire near the enemy base this morning. According to the mayor of Melitopol, Ivan Fedorov, thick smoke was seen in the lower part of the city behind the central market in the area of the occupied Refma plant, where the occupiers have set up their military base. He added that no explosions were heard, suggesting that the fire may have been caused by a cigarette butt left burning.

Those careless smokers again.
