What strikes me in the Kremlin's invasion of Ukraine are the similarities to the Winter War (1939-40) against Finland. However, I'm afraid the end result could be similar as well - but it doesn't need to be. A THREAD.

Some thoughts on the scenes we're seeing on social media of armed Russians, confronted by unarmed, protesting Ukrainians, being pushed back. Again, these are just insights from someone watching from afar, who just happens to know Ukrainians and Russians and Soviet mythology 1/
The Endgames of Bad Faith Communication consilienceproject.org/endga… - great read on why we need to start talking honestly to people with whom we disagree.

The story of Arron Banks is intertwined with every single element of the above. That's for another time. What matters now is Ukraine. And the key to helping it is to understand that Putin isn't just coming for us next. He already has.

Big day for Ottawa as this 3 week protest/occupation hopefully comes to an end peacefully. Be kind Ottawans... I think more is at stake here if we push people down at this moment. This isn't over - this is just showing how fragile our democracy and social fabric is.

Any conversation about the #SDGs should involve young people. Awesome job #FutureofGood. This might be one of my favourite talks of the day.
That was a fabulous interview with Monica at @CausewayWork. Inspiring. Thanks @OttawaMorning Good luck with the new job Monica!
