Longlisted for #2025MoorePrize Looking at Women Looking at War by #VictoriaAmelia focuses on the heroic women of the #Ukrainian resistance. A Russian missile took the author’s life before she completed the book. She left behind an incredible account of the ravages of war & the cost of resistance.

In long listed book, An Inconvenient Place, Jonathan Littell & photog Antoine d’Agata began surveying the site of the 1941 massacre of Kyiv Jews when war came to interrupt their work. It resumed in Bucha, infamous after the discovery of atrocities of the Russian forces. #2025MoorePrize #HumanRights

Human trafficking is the fastest-growing criminal industry in the world. Long listed for #2025MoorePrize, EveryBody Counts by @blnadeau.bsky.social is a ground-breaking investigation that follows the money to reveal a secretive world where lives don't matter. #HumanRights #Writing

call me crazy but I don't think we should.

Israel kills innocent Palestinians. Activists spray-paint a plane. Guess which the UK government calls terrorism | Sally Rooney If Palestine Action becomes a proscribed group, writing these words of support could become a serious offence. It’s vital we fight this alarming attack on free speech, says writer Sally Rooney

So if you don’t want to live in a world where writing an article like this becomes punishable by up to 14 years in prison - as it will be, the author notes, if Starmer gets his way - then the time to stand up and be counted is *now*.

Over the moon that 'Anywhere But Here' has been longlisted for the @mooreprize.bsky.social. Hoping this exposure will mean more people read about the realities unfolding on our doorsteps.

So, apart from the threats of annexation, economic warefare, and risk of being detained whilst crossing the border, what's stopping Canadians visiting the US?

In August 2023, Ukrainian journalist Viktoriia Roshchyna disappeared while investigating the secret detention of civilians by Russia.
A year later, her body was returned. Tortured. Dead in captivity.
Today, we tell her story. #ViktoriiaProject 1/

It’s just bewildering that in 2020, under a Conservative government led by Boris Johnson, we were clapping for carers, and now, just five years later, under a supposedly Labour government led by Keir Starmer, we’re instead telling them to go back to where they came from whilst quoting Enoch Powell.
