1/ Armenia–Azerbaijan relations saw a major breakthrough with a U.S.-brokered peace deal mediated by Trump.

I used political scenario analysis to understand what this means for Armenia’s future. Spoiler: the outcomes aren’t all rosy. 🧵

Our current economic system has led to stark inequalities that disproportionately harm many people. Exploring alternative systems is crucial moving forward. Yet we often overlook a key step in this process: dismantling the capitalism within ourselves.

Been thinking a lot about migration lately. Not as a crisis, but as something natural & ancient.

Why do some get to move freely while others drown trying?

Migration shouldn’t be a privilege. It’s an Earth right. 🌍

Right now, #GretaThunberg and the #FreedomFlotilla participants are sailing toward Gaza, fully aware they could be stopped, arrested, or worse. And still, they go. Camus wrote that to not be complicit in injustice, we must “serve justice.” That’s exactly what they’re doing.

Switching to European alternatives is now easier with #BrandSnap - an app recently launched with #GoEuropean.

Switching to #EUalternatives means stronger privacy, environmental & labour protection, as well as a more towards demonopolization.

1. My latest video is about something strange but very real: the memeification of war.
Why are global conflicts turning into viral posts? Why are governments posting memes mid-crisis? And what does this say about how we deal with fear and endless bad news online?

Erich Fromm, psychoanalyst & philosopher, had a radical insight:
Modern freedom can make us feel more lost than liberated.
We’ve broken from old authorities— but without meaning or connection, freedom becomes fear.

April 2025 wasn’t just war and heatwaves. Behind the chaos, there were ceasefire talks, climate lawsuits, and resistance movements you probably didn’t hear about.

Keeping up with the news is important but incredibly depressing. There are times where I don’t do it to avoid the wave of negativity. That’s why I’m starting a series where I do a monthly recap on the global news, while searching for silver linings in each tragedy.

The far-right figures aren’t anomalies; they are reflections of our society’s wounds. They embody cycles of pain, power struggles, and the pursuit of dominance as a substitute for emotional security. Holding them accountable is crucial, but so is understanding the conditions that create them.

If we want structural change, we have to start at a granular level—and the granular level is the human psyche. No policy, system, or institution transforms without the minds that sustain it.

🚨Just published my first piece for @foreignpolicy.com:

Germany should end its weapons deliveries to Israel. Berlin’s policy—rooted in its historical atonement for the holocaust—makes it complicit in war crimes today. It’s time for Berlin to reassess its Israel policy.

Read why & how here👇🏾
Germany’s Pro-Israel Policy Must End
The country’s desire to atone for historical atrocities threatens to make it complicit in new ones.

In this piece, I contextualize the outlandish plan to deport Palestinians from Gaza in the long history of imperial statecraft & nation-state foundation/consolidation. Unlike a recent WSJ article on the subject, I don't think this is a good idea #Gaza #EthnicCleansingOfPalestine jacobin.com

“As in the 1940s, imperial elites and their clients will determine the fate of #Palestinians. Weak Arab states could not protect Palestinians then. History seems poised to repeat itself, but with one key difference: this time, there is no attempt to create the illusion of restraint.” - Jacobin
