1/20. Democracy is precious and exceptional.

Чи ви коли-небудь чули, як хтось посилається на "кодекс честі самураїв", або, прости господи, "шлях самурая"? Ця фраза настільки міцно вплелася в асоціативний ряд багатьох іноземців, що буквально за декілька десятиліть стала нерозривно поєднуватися з національною ідеєю японців.

We welcome this historic and groundbreaking resolution—the first recognition of #HarmReduction by the UN Commission on Narcotic Drugs—as an important step to rebalance global drug policy towards effective, proven public health responses. #CND #EndTheDrugWar

The key drama playing out today is around negotiations of the US L5 resolution on overdose prevention - specifically the inclusion of harm reduction language - which has long been a flash point in these negotiations 2/

Харківський інноваційний термінал. Щойно в нього влучила ракета. Є загиблі та поранені, зокрема важкі. У них не було шансу встигнути добігти до укриття, бо сирени прозвучали за секунди до. Наразі всім постраждалим надається медична допомога, ми на звʼязку з лікарнями та сімʼями постраждалих. Та це, звісно, не поверне наших людей. Співчуваємо — кожному. Завтра Нова пошта оголошує день трауру. Ми будемо працювати та вшановувати кожного загиблого героя Нової пошти. Кожного загиблого в цій війні.

$100 billion is spent on global drug law enforcement every year, but just $131 million is spent on #HarmReduction. This means that we spend more than 750 times the amount on punitive responses to drugs than we do on life-saving services for people who use drugs.

In 2022 a prominent 🇺🇦 human rights defender and journalist Maksym #Butkevych was captured by the 🇷🇺 military in #Luhansk Oblast. 🇷🇺 propaganda slanders him as a "Nazi" and "propagandist or a "war criminal. But Maksym has been pacifist and anti-fascist throughout his life. 📹:

@ASarnatska Дякую вам! Трошки скинула

На фото я посміхаюсь, але за кадром мене трусить. Вийшли з пекла, не всі. Треба гроші на відновлення машин і поточні витрати. На поранених як буде треба - напишу окремо. Посилання на банку send.monobank.ua/jar/6egphiQKKe Інші способи quicknote.io/1c70f0c0-d7f0-…

Civil journalist Irina Danilovich started a dry hunger strike in occupied Crimea. She demands medical treatment in detention. The woman almost lost her hearing, constantly has headaches and problems with coordination of movements. She compares the pain in her head to torture.

Horrible. Russians hit the another residential building. This time in Zaporizhzhia. #RussianWarCrimes
