Talking with Al-Jazeera on Trump's order suspending immigrant visa processing in #Thailand. Thai government & people are right to be angry about this. “The Trump administration is not respectful of the relationship; it has a transactional worldview.” www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/1/...

This book documents the devastating impact of the Russian invasion of Ukraine & the courage of women as agents of change. Amelina’s legacy is a powerful testament to the sacrifices demanded of those who pursue truth in the face of atrocity. #2025MoorePrize
