Given the flood of new followers, an introduction:

Thank you for following me, if I haven't followed you back I probably will when we get to know each other a bit.

I'm a lawyer and activist. I post stuff about things I think are important or interesting, and sometimes make 'hilarious' jokes.

After so much loss, the path to a durable peace might finally be emerging 🌿🕊️

Peace built on justice, not silence. On truth, not denial.✊💫

The war in Ukraine has repeatedly defied expectations, yielding nearly four years of inspiring Ukrainian resistance

Dispatch from Ukraine: The path to a durable peace is emerging

A recent trip to Kyiv reinforced that, as momentum shifts in Ukraine’s favor, a just and durable peace could be within reach.

“If this is so, which it is” is doing a lot of heavy lifting here. It’s like he had forgotten how the sentence started by the time he got to the middle of it.

Glad to see Nigel Farage has finally remembered Nathan Gill, former leader of Reform in Wales - found guilty of taking bribes from Russia.

Maybe he'll now remember how much he took from Putin's propaganda broadcaster Russia Today for all his TV appearances when he was a MEP?

Heading home from northern Canada in a few hours. It’s been overcast the whole time so I haven’t been treated to a #northernlights show. My 8yo nephew (who lives here) has helpfully reminded me that they’re “boring, just blue purple and green sky lights,” anyway.

If tomorrow’s headline were ‘Trump carpet bombs Gaza in retaliation for Nobel snub’, would anyone be surprised?

C’est moi.

A man with glasses and a white beard holds a sticker close to the camera that reads “Easily distracted by dogs & books.” The background is softly blurred, and he’s wearing a colorful shirt with a mushroom pattern.

it is october 7. for two years hamas has been offering to return israel's hostages in exchange for an israeli withdrawal from gaza to which benjamin netanyahu has said "no," ignoring the hostages' families demands and prioritizing the destruction of gaza over saving the hostages lives.
