A month ago I had my life. I had my job, which was frustrating sometimes, but I loved the things I got done. I watched movies with my son and boyfriend. I cooked dinner or we ordered pizza. Went running. Now I wake up to explosions in my city at 5 in the morning.

For the past few weeks, @YingdanL_kk @AnfanChen & I have systematically collected half a million Weibo posts about Ukraine. It’s true that a large portion of Weibo posts attribute cause of war to US/NATO/“Western” aggression or blame Ukrainian government for conflict.

I don't know who needs to hear this but here's your daily reminder that the people in Russia are distinct from the government of Russia. As we think about that also consider potential uptick in xenophobia in other places. This is coming frm someone w/ a v. eastern european name

Horrible conversation with the deputy mayor of Mariupol. Says residential areas heavily bombed, including his father's neighbourhood. "The situation is awful, we are near to a humanitarian catastrophe. We have been under more than 15 hours of continuous shelling without pause."

E-mail from a friend in Ukraine: “We saw fighter aircraft, helicopters & Russian paratroopers from our window. We walked for miles. And now we are safe. My wife is in Poland now, and I am in Ukraine. I'm sending you some photos of the city where we lived."

Trump, who discussed pulling the US from NATO takes credit for NATO’s existence in a new statement. Trump, who threatened to withhold weapons funding from Ukraine to get dirt on Biden, takes credit for Ukrainian weapons in same statement.

Signs of cracks in Russian elite. First Fridman, then Deripaska. Now Anatoly Chubais has just posted picture of Boris Nemtsov on his Facebook page. Nemtsov, seen by some as Yeltsin’s first choice 4 president, was murdered in front of the Kremlin seven years ago today
