I work in peacebuilding. Used to do development, global health and other fun stuff. Anna’s husband. 🇫🇷🇺🇸 national. Rarely on this app. @evanoconnell on Twitter, www.o-connell.eu for most other things.

Crawford: I never could have imagined that I'd be taking on the richest man in the world for justice in Wisconsin. And we won.

Something is fundamentally wrong with America when millions of dollars can’t buy you a Wisconsin Supreme Court seat, the respect of your children, the silence of your baby mammas, or a functional penis implant.

Trump is poised to stop funding vaccines for developing countries. It’s a huge mistake for MAGA from an economic and security point of view. @paulnuki.bsky.social is spot on: @gavi.org does more than save the lives of children and cutting it will impoverish us all www.telegraph.co.uk/global-healt...

Increasingly convinced that Waltz added Jeffrey Goldberg to the chat on purpose — whether it was to embarrass colleagues he disliked (Vance? Hegseth?) or to brag about how “tough” their rhetoric is towards Europe is another question that only he can answer

"Many things are bad now" is not equivalent to "things can't get much much worse." This is a fallacy many people fall into by mistake or because it's convenient. But it can really lead you astray. Things can pretty much always get worse.

If you think that the world is going to have less atrocity when US hegemony is over and not more, you’re in for a very rude awakening given how the current global alternatives are actively engaged in atrocity on a scale that should be incredibly upsetting to everyone.

I have no patience for this temporizing. People are being summarily shipped off into slavery in central america under the imprimatur of the US government right now. Canada—Canada!—is putting itself on a war footing. We’ve been off the map and in uncharted territory for the last 250 miles.

Schumer: "If he defies the Supreme Court, then we are in uncharted territory ... our entire democracy is at risk. I believe that if Donald Trump should defy the courts, the public will rise up. Democrats will fight it in every single way ... autocrats only succeed if the public lets them."
