The people of Europe stand with Ukraine against the threat of a false peace as much as brutal war. Because of our shared history. Because of our shared future. Because it is just. Because it is necessary. And because they deserve nothing less. Don't abandon them. #SlavaUkraini

Any pathway to peace in Palestine & Israel should be determined by Palestinians & Israelis themselves. This is what drew me to A Land for All – a framework created by Palestinians & Israelis – based on principles of shared interests, lived experience & context: www.alandforall.org/english/?d=l...

I’m not reading the news today. However I am reading about Byzantium and it is interesting so far.

It is somewhat comforting to know that Byzantium grew as Rome faded, and it in turn flourished and eventually fell too.

Things change, & things stay the same. Everything starts, & everything ends.

My new piece for The Antidote:

“Despite the racist base being essential to the global move towards oligarch rule, the motivation to subvert the democratic process is not primarily due to racism. It is about greed.”
