For the 20th anniversary of the invasion of Iraq, we produced “The Army We Had” for @nytopinion

“Once you join, you have no politics. You’re property.” In a powerful short film, young soldiers talk about the Iraq war as it is being waged. Two decades later, they reflect on their experiences. nyti.ms/42p3CjG

US embassy in Kyiv closing today ahead of what it describes as a "potential significant air attack" by Russia. "The U.S. Embassy recommends U.S. citizens be prepared to immediately shelter in the event an air alert is announced." ow.ly/IbBT50UaBYV

We were attacked with four FAB-500 by a Russian Su-34. ➡️I have nothing to add to what I say in the video, dear @JoeBiden, @OlafScholz and other state leaders. Only that there will be much more @BILD soon, including a detailed analysis of the attack we witnessed.

1/Der Film „Russians at War“ feierte in Venedig seine Premiere und ist jetzt auf dem kanadischen Festival tiff zu sehen. Es war nur eine Frage der Zeit, bis er in Deutschland von Täter-Versteher:innen gefeiert wird. Schauen wir uns das mal an.

With the text below we express disappointment about the documentary Russians at War by Russian director Anastasiya Trofimova screened at the 81st Venice International Film Festival, and explain (once again!) what's wrong with cases like this. docudays.ua/eng/2024/news/…

Yesterday in Kharkiv, Russians bombed a residential building killing 7, including the 18-yo artist Nika Kozhushko. I remember her well from a literary event in January. Here is the drawing she had with her. It depicted the recently bombed residential building. She was the future.

Veterans continue to wrestle with the legacy of the Iraq War two decades later in the @nytimes op-doc, The Army We Had. IGA partnered with filmmakers @pepperandbones to produce the film, which is now nominated for an Emmy! 🏆 Watch: youtu.be/RIWfH3iEgXU?si…

The news system we have is not designed to create understanding. It's designed to produce a daily flow of content. That was true before the internet. But the internet made sure that everyone was included. From "The Flattening Machine" by @cwarzel: theatlantic.com/technology/arc…

Who knows what awful thing Russia might do in retaliation if Ukraine were able to take out aircraft on the tarmac and missile launchers? I mean, they might go after sick kids or something.

Here is the essay I wrote about Serhiy Zhadan who, in his fiftieth year, volunteered to join the army in Ukraine, as his hometown, Kharkiv, is bombed. May he be safe. poetrysociety.org/poems-essays/v…

We've arrived at a point where Ramzan Kadyrov's influence can be seen at every major UFC event. Among those who maintain ties to the dictator on today #UFC284 show include LW champ Islam Makhachev & Zubaira Tukhugov. The UFC can put a stop to this but choose not to.

The year is 2009. A twenty-year-old kid from Lafayette, La. named @DustinPoirier is a 5-0 pro MMA fighter. Listen to what he says his dream is. Tonight, he finally gets to realize that exact dream. 💎

I love the way this poster implies that there was a dark side to Hitler we didn't know about.

13 years ago, went to Hot Docs to see @Fightville and spoke with @DustinPoirier for the first time. 13 years later, he’s set to fight for gold again, and I’m still covering his career. Life is amazing. Hi @pepperandbones Hi @relentlessfilmz

#Uzbekistan: RSF denounces the act of censorship constituted by the banning of the #ArtDecoFest festival because of the documentary "Eastern Front" by Y. Titarenko & V. Mansky about the war in #Ukraine. The attitude of🇺🇿authorities who seem to be bowing to🇷🇺pressure is worrying.
