Are these in absentia hearings against #Kony a new beginning? An end? Something else entirely?
Yesterday these long-awaited, unprecedented hearings were adjourned. I watched & reflected on time, audience, #history, & #justice.

I'm a big fan of Pride here in France. There's basically no corporate sponsorship & you can join the parade for as long as you want, wave signs, then go cool off in a café with lovely people. Happy Pride! 🌈🥰✊
