  • Oleksandr Kozachenko
    Oleksandr Kozachenko “If we compare it with the beginning (of the Russian invasion), when we fired up to 100 shells a day, then now, when we fire 30 shells it's a luxury. Sometimes the number of shells fired daily is in single digits.” 6 minutes ago
  • Abdallah al-Dardari
    Abdallah al-Dardari “The United Nations Development Programme's initial estimates for the reconstruction of … the Gaza Strip surpasses $30bn and could reach up to $40bn. The scale of the destruction is huge and unprecedented … this is a mission that the global community has not dealt with since World War II.” 13 minutes ago
  • Karine Jean-Pierre
    Karine Jean-Pierre “Americans have the right to peacefully protest. Forcibly taking over a building is not peaceful.” 15 hours ago
  • Janet Yellen
    Janet Yellen “Treasury has consistently warned that companies will face significant consequences for providing material support for Russia's war, and the U.S. is imposing them today on almost 300 targets.” 15 hours ago
  • Catherine Russell
    Catherine Russell “Over 200 days of war have already killed or maimed tens of thousands of children in Gaza. For hundreds of thousands of children in the border city of Rafah, there is added fear of an escalated military operation that would bring catastrophe on top of catastrophe for children. Nearly all of the some 600,000 children now crammed into Rafah are either injured, sick, malnourished, traumatised or living with disabilities.” 15 hours ago
  • Eric Adams
    Eric Adams “We cannot allow what should be a lawful protest to turn into a violent spectacle that saves and serves no purpose. There's no place for acts of hate in our city. I want to continue to commend the professionalism of the police department and to thank Columbia University. It was a tough decision, we understood that. But with the very clear evidence of their observation and the clear evidence from our intelligence division, that they understood it was time to move and the action had to end and we brought it to a peaceful conclusion.” 23 hours ago

“When Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp temporarily went offline this week due to a technical problem, we saw just how dependent we have already become on these services for so many everyday activities. It was a shock to suddenly be without them. The company would probably see this as evidence that our lives are too intertwined with its services for them to ever go away. But, as the company has proven time and time again, our interests and its interests are rarely aligned. We should instead recognise that allowing a rapacious company to design and own critical infrastructure with zero accountability is the worst of all possible options.”

“Because we have a field team, we were able to mitigate some of the more serious risks today's outage presented. But that might not have been the case for hundreds of other hotlines around the world. Today was a big reminder: Technologies are tools, not solutions. WhatsApp is a very important tool for our service. Usually we have phone operators receiving messages from women all day via WhatsApp, but that was not possible, and women could not contact us.”

“It's almost as if Facebook's monopolistic mission to either own, copy, or destroy any competing platform has incredibly destructive effects on free society and democracy. Remember: WhatsApp wasn't created by Facebook. It was an independent success. FB got scared & bought it.”

“My bet is that someone pushed a button wrong, or a cord got unplugged, which seems very minor but the reality is that we've seen these things before where suddenly something is configured incorrectly and entire swaths of the internet are not available.”
