“It’s only #humans that kill right #whales”"

“Why the World Still Needs Immanuel Kant

Unlike in Europe, few in the United States will be celebrating the philosopher’s 300th birthday. But Kant’s writing shows that a free, just and moral life is possible — and that’s relevant everywhere.”

"The [Russian Foreign Ministry] document for the first time provides official confirmation and codification of what many in the #Moscow elite say has become a hybrid war against the West. #Russia is seeking to subvert Western support for #Ukraine and disrupt the domestic politics of the #UnitedStates and #European countries, through #propaganda campaigns supporting isolationist and #extremist policies”

"For three-and-a-half long hours on Jan. 29, the cellphone in 6-year old Hind Rajab’s hands was the closest thing she had to a lifeline. Alone in the back seat of a car outside a #Gaza City gas station, she was drifting in and out of consciousness, surrounded by bodies, as she told emergency dispatchers that #Israeli tanks were rumbling closer.

...Paramedics were on their way, the dispatchers kept telling her: Hold on."
