It's wild that I have to do this, but @HeidiBachram clipped 57 seconds of this video to misrepresent me. I use a quote from a conversation with Kurt Vonnegut and Susan Sontag, in which she discusses human behaviour after studying the Holocaust. In that context, I talk about human behaviour and how we can build community in the lead-up to the next general election. In this video, I actually say that reform voters are not devils. Yet due to NOT watching the full video, @RobertJenrick is saying I am comparing reform voters to nazis. Truth matters, folks, even on X.

We've just released another episode about Iran on Legacy. Brilliant insights from @KimGhattas, who is superb as always on the revolutionary legacies of 1979 - and how/why they still shape Iran and the wider region today. Essential listening @afuahirsch podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/ira…

He's not sorry. If he was, he would confess all the other times he's assaulted women and now feel equally "disgusted". Or he would tell us this incident was a total one off. He did neither, because the only thing that's disgusted him is getting found out #Diddy

My 1st job was for Aryeh Neier. Hard to overstate how influential his views on human rights "I'm now persuaded Israel is engaged in genocide against Palestinians in Gaza. What changed my mind is its sustained policy of obstructing the movement of humanitarian assistance" @nybooks

The response to student protests at universities like mine @USC and throughout America has been unacceptable Not to mention counterproductive, even on its own terms #Gaza #protest #freespeech Thank you to all the students and faculty standing up for our values @amanpour 🙏🏽
Christiane Amanpour@amanpour

“I do question how much the university administration understands the concept of free speech,” says @USC journalism professor @afuahirsch. “The point of free speech is that people have the right to say things that you might find uncomfortable or inconvenient,” she tells me.
