    “I don’t buy the narrative that Russians aren’t responsible because they don’t have the information. Even if they’re zombified by Russian TV, they have the internet, can call friends abroad, access media outlets through VPN. They simply don’t want to digest this info critically.”

    Rights are like breathing. I don’t know how many breaths you have to stay alive. You don’t think about it unless you are threatened. If someone’s hands are around your neck, you know how important that next breath is. - Zeid Ra’ad al Hussein @UNHumanRights

    Authoritarianism is on the rise, and it poses an existential threat to the world’s democracies. But with U.S. leadership, the democratic world can work together to counter that threat, @AVindman writes. trib.al/mv2L5df

    "This intelligence is not 100% confirmed, but info I have seen and the fact that the intel community has medium confidence suggests that this is real. The same GRU unit that put these bounties on Americans tried to affect a coup in Montenegro, to assassinate its PM in 2016."

    “Russians are used to living in poverty; last time I checked two years ago, 26% don’t have running water in their houses. They’ve never had a chance to enjoy the comforts of the version of Western life in Moscow. It’s the oligarchs and Putin who are hit hardest at the moment.”

    “It’s not a question of giving us enough weapons to defend Ukraine; it’s in the interest of every civilized nation to do everything possible so that Putin’s regime is defeated by the Ukrainians. But the direct answer is no, we haven’t been given enough.”

    "It's the same unit responsible for the attempted assassination of Sergei Skripal in the UK. What I see in this latest news about Russian bounties is a gradual escalation of a trend that's been happening for some time, but is dangerous because it is an escalation."

    “It is not up to the Security Council or General Assembly to decide if this is genocide or a war crime. But do I believe that its right for national leaders to state this? I believe so.”

    "The U.S.'s calling this out as a genocide is not a policy response; it's just a decision to call it what it is." Last night, we hosted a powerful event on the persecution of the #Uyghurs by Chinese authorities, featuring @RushanAbbas, @robersreport, @nuryturkel, and @SophieHRW.

    “True victory is not one over the Russian army; victory for the entire civilized world is putting Russia back at the beginning of the long path towards democracy. The scenario I describe to colleagues in NY is if Russia is defeated in Ukraine, do we go back to business as usual?”
