* Russia has annexed the Crimea. A Ukrainian officer was killed and another shot as they defended their military base from an attack. Russia has already mobilized and Ukraine is mobilizing. They are digging trenches and building fortifications along the border with the Crimea.

* They are appropriating the narrative of slavery to strip away women's human rights and to justify imprisoning and killing women by denying them emergency medical care. "The Abolitionist:"
