Illegal, immoral, disgraceful.
How does a country fulfill the duty to render aid to the shipwrecked without the inconvenience of survivors?

Today, some of the work I've done with Airwars was published in a piece I co-authored with @nickturse.bsky.social of The Intercept

This is yet another abhorrent display of Russian imperialism: During the opening ceremony, Anastasia Kucherova, a Russian living in Milan, anonymously carried the Ukraine team placard. She didn't ask the Ukrainian athletes for permission, imposing herself on them — just like Russian soldiers do.

Donald Trump is a threat to democracy around the world.

My first, second, and third acts as your next congressman will be to impeach Trump, impeach his cabinet, and codify guardrails to defend our democracy.
