After finally completing a long and exhausting UK visa process, last week I attended the London Trust Conference, organized by the Thomson Reuters Foundation.
It was a great opportunity to meet inspiring people, reconnect with fellows and colleagues, and explore the beauty of London.

At Exile Talks by @correctiv.org — listening to @thousandfriend.bsky.social, @candundar.bsky.social and Sergey Lukashevsky talk about how the authoritarian playbook plays out in Russia, Turkey & the US. Chilling parallels, but also powerful reminders of resistance.
