Excellent overview of the region that’s likely the next target of Putin’s murderous imperialism - and of nations that offer some inspiration and hope for confronting it. Well written and widely sourced, it’s sympathetic to the cause but presents the nuances and doubts fairly. #books

2/15 I'll spell out below some of what's so wrong with the UCPIP Bill, with links to other groups with expertise. This may help as a starter. Budget savings should not come at the cost of the lives and rights of people with disabilities. Human dignity must come first. www.hrw.org/news/2025/06...

Listen, Run, Hide. This is how residents in #Kherson live, under armed quadcopter #drones operated by Russian forces. One of the most difficult and terrifying visual works I have ever faced Have a look at out new @hrw.org report: www.hrw.org/feature/2025...

New @hrw.org report: Since mid-2024, Russian forces have increasingly used armed quadcopter drones to kill and injure hundreds of civilians in Kherson. Victims were walking, biking, driving, or even receiving medical care when attacked.

My latest piece for @inequality.org on how the platform economy runs on #inequality while sidestepping labor rights. This isn’t about rejecting technology. It’s about making sure companies don’t hide exploitation behind an app. #ILC2025 inequality.org/article/the-...

Leading an effort to weaken Europe's top human rights court is not a great statement of intent from the government of Denmark as it prepares to take over the EU Presidency. Europe should be defending its institutions right now not undermining them. euobserver.com/migration/ar...
