How long will you remain unmoved by the plight of Ukraine and Ukrainians?

While we celebrate thanksgiving, Ukrainians remember Holodomor…

“Holodomor was a genoсide. The artificial famine killed millions in Ukraine in the 1930s. In 1933, Ukrainian villages were like hell on earth. Exhausted and swollen from hunger, both adults and children died a slow and painful death.” Source: Holodomor was a genoсide. The artificial famine killed millions in Ukraine in the 1930s

Today, the Russian regime is resorting to genocidal practices in the war against Ukraine. But it also does not shy away from using food as a weapon once again, this time – to pressure the international community. Russia does not care who and where will suffer or even die of hunger.

Only proper commemoration, conviction, and punishment of all perpetrators of crimes against humanity can be a safeguard against their repetition of crimes. And recognizing Holodomor as a genocide and condemning the Soviet totalitarian regime are the inevitable steps on this path.

The Beauty of Ukraine. Слава Україні!

I’d venture to say that one of the reasons we don’t care enough about what’s happening in Ukraine is we see them as an ‘unreal other’ but Ukrainians are people like us and the Russians are raping their beautiful country. Perhaps this will help someone see the Ukrainians as people and take action to help them.

What Can Be Done About Our Deep Political Divisions? via @PsychToday

“Long-form journalism traditionally prompted us to “stop and think.” By contrast, today’s partisan news and social media outlets often encourage us to “hurry up and feel.” As a result, our ability to think and argue with our fellow citizens has regrettably atrophied. Accordingly, we have to start exercising our deliberative social skills and discerning media habits once more.” Source: What Can Be Done About Our Deep Political Divisions? | Psychology Today
