Why has the West given billions in military aid to Ukraine, but virtually ignored Myanmar? theconversation.com/why-has-the-we… via @ConversationEDU
🚨🧵Two years after the military coup in Myanmar, a report exclusively obtained by @BBCNewsnight and @BBCTrending shows female supporters of democracy are being systematically targeted with hate speech, abuse and doxxing. #WhatsHappeninglnMyanmar 🇲🇲

I just finished reading @elainehsiehchou’s Disorientation. It was incredibly relatable, sometimes uncomfortably so. Funny, distressing, ridiculous- I loved it. I think many grad students/ scholars in Buddhists studies will enjoy this one.
It’s sickening to learn that Myanmar’s junta has executed veteran democracy activist Kyaw Min Yu, aka Ko Jimmy, and three others. I met Ko Jimmy in 2005 after he had been released from a long spell in jail that stole his youth - see this extract from my book The Trouser People.
Despite international condemnation, the military says it has used the death penalty for the first time in decades, executing four political prisoners including two prominent pro-democracy figures. frontiermyanmar.net/en/myanmar-jun…
