Happy to see my first piece published with @opiniojuris last week on human rights due diligence. In it, I argue that #HRDD could be a powerful tool in combatting the rise of #SLAPP suits.

New @HRW report: Taliban forces beat residents & detained men they accuse of being militants w/o revealing their whereabouts to their families. Unk # s have been summarily executed or forcibly disappeared. Many of their bodies have been found in canals. hrw.org/news/2022/07/0…

Incredible images from photographer Joy K Roy Chowdhury of Rakher Upobash being celebrated in Narayanganj, Bangladesh. A timely reminder of not just how beautiful and diverse this country is, but the courage of the people who keep it that way, despite the threats that they face

Displaced people in the Democratic Republic of the Congo are in dire need of shelter after escaping violence in the east of the country. @Refugees and partners are providing shelter but as the situation continues to deteriorate, more assistance is needed. youtu.be/9xuehP8gE3g

Big Pharma says they need to charge astronomical prices to pay for research and development. Yet, the amount they spend on manipulating the market to enrich shareholders completely eclipses what's spent on R&D. Today, I confronted a CEO about the industry's lies, with visuals ⤵️

Almost all responses by Israeli officials & their supporters to @hrw apartheid/persecution report have tried to change the topic, often by name calling. Almost none have engaged on merits. A thread laying out our largely unchallenged apartheid finding. 1/6 hrw.org/news/2021/04/2…

@pwinn5 People very much do still use the word techno in 2021, just to describe the musical genre techno, which this is not. I think of it like Southeast Asian polka

By the way, is there a universal word for this bleepy, high-tempo genre of music that is everywhere in SE Asia? I suspect people stopped saying techno in 1997. ในภาษาไทยผมจะเรียกมันว่า "เพลงรถบัส"

Am now realizing loads of people around the world believe this viral video is fake, even scrutinizing its shadows like moon landing truthers. In Southeast Asia, 7 am park aerobics set to blaring techno is very, very real.

#Myanmar: background on "targeted financial sanctions" - much work has already been done by Myanmar activists & others, including the UNFFM, who in 2019 dove into the Tatmadaw's economic interests & made detailed recommendations, including on sanctions: ohchr.org/EN/HRBodies/HR…

White supremacists ransacked the Capitol. Black and brown workers cleaned it up. I’m introducing a Senate resolution to recognize the Capitol custodians for their bravery and service to our country on January 6th. We must honor the dignity of their work.
