I'm not explaining myself. Judge me on my behaviour. "We must always take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented." — Elie Wiesel, Nobel Acceptance Speech, Oslo, December 10, 1986

Can someone explain to me the difference between chasing and arresting people because they have brown skin, and chasing and arresting people because they have a yellow star on their clothes.

In my pre-Bellingcat days, I worked for an organisation that housed asylum seekers, and I'd challenge anyone who think they get an easy time to spend a few months living in the same conditions and see how they feel about it then.

When I did a story on conditions in migrant hotels, there was a woman who would have to wash the spicy sauce off the pasta - in the sink - because there was no meal suitable for her toddler. She felt like a bad mum who couldn’t feed her own child

Girls are trafficked from Africa and forced to work in a factory making weapons that Russia uses to destroy Ukrainian homes and institutions, and target Ukrainian civilians, including children.

Hey British media, It’s no surprise that if you give Farage the run of the place, he’ll start winning. Time to do your actual jobs and start interrogating him on his Brexit shitshow, his funding, his Trumpiness, his idiotic manifesto, his real plans for the NHS… instead of drumrolling him into No.10

Do you know how much CEO pay has skyrocketed since 1978? 100%? 500%? Try 1,085% Meanwhile, the $7.25/hr fed. minimum wage hasn't budged in 15 years and the tipped min. wage has been $2.13/hr since 1991. This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

Every "yes" Trump gets speeds him up to both keep revictimizing his target and moving onto others. Tell him no. Waste his time. Make him fight. Drag it out. And the more people who say no, the more resources he has to expend. He is not unlimited in time and energy. Waste his.

I worry that the intense focus on one person who was illegally renditioned to El Salvador, Mr. Abrego Garcia, obscures the hundreds of others who were also deported. Many of them had pending cases in immigration court, which makes their deportations also illegal.

Here's the reality: they've backed themselves into a corner. If they bring him home there will be hell to pay. It's clear that they believe that the lesser hell is not bringing him home. So we need to make that hell the worse hell. Start calling and screaming at all of your representatives now! 1/2

Europe’s disarmed state is … (also) an advantage ✅… IF we use it right - by stepping up, NOW, to arm ourselves, for the ST, MT & LT future in a smart way ❌not slowly spending a fortune trying to replace US capabilities & arming ourselves to fight the last war, not the next one. 🧵

US negotiating behind Europe's back on Ukraine and European security has crossed the Rubicon. The world has changed. Europe must embrace this moment. Europe needs to rearm and accelerate its industries. The US is in decline and no longer reliable. Europe MUST take its place. There is nobody else.

President Zelenskyy: “At the Munich Security Conference, I emphasized that European policy must not just be promising — it must make America want to stand with a strong Europe. Europe must decide its own future with confidence in its strength so that others have no choice but to respect its power.”
