genocide expert and human rights defender
Pinned
Hey, y'all. 👋 I am a human rights defender, genocide expert, and researcher with a background in journalism and communications.

On Twitter, I largely limit my posts to Ukraine/Eastern Europe.

Over here, I'll probably be a bit more of a political generalist in my commentary (for better or worse).

Rogan’s podcast misses the point: when discussing a nation’s fight for survival, it’s not just about bold opinions — it’s about listening to the voices of those who are living the reality, former foreign minister Dmytro Kuleba writes in his op-ed.

feels like this is becoming the platform for collaborating*against* fascism and zombie twitter is the space where people proudly boast that they're collaborating*with* fascists.

feel like a presence on both is probably pretty important

After all the military imperialist marches russia organized on colonized territories, it is tone-deaf for the russian metropolitan activists - who never speak to the colozed - organize a march in Berlin. Why not call it a demonstraion?
Today's "Anti-War March" in Berlin, led by Navalnaya, Kara-Murza & Yashin seems an appropiate day to re-publish my essay on why the West and in particular Germany should take a closer look at the self-proclaimed leaders of the Russian opposition in English:
Anti-Putin does not mean anti-imperial. Why the romanticisation of Russian dissidents is misleading
In the German debate on the Russian anti-Putin camp, the problematic aspects of this milieu are often ignored. The Russian perspective continues to be prioritized other those of the colonized.

Earnest post, but: a thing I like here is it’s okay to have moments of happiness in public without being broadly scolded, and I believe that sustaining this kind of humanity will be very important as we resist fascism.

We have to sustain each other. Making joy isn’t denial, it’s how we will survive
