Can’t wait to read this opinion — my amazing friend Kristin Casper and her team at greenpeace did a ton of work on this case over the years!

It is our obligation to speak out against genocide, especially when our government is funding it.

Books are my best friends on long plane rides. Can’t wait to get into this beauty by Ruha Benjamin. Been waiting for this one.

Instead of the US cutting military aid to Israel and calling for an immediate, permanent ceasefire to end Israeli genocide of Palestinians in Gaza, the US is welcoming Israeli military forces to its own settler colony—Hawaiʻi—this summer for the Rim of the Pacific War Games.

Hanif Abdurraqib is one of the most gifted writers alive - I recently finished A Little Devil in America and let me tell you it was one of the most devastatingly beautiful things I have ever read. Hanif's writing is witness bearing of the highest order.

Such a special night

What an honor to be paired with Dame Meg Taylor for this year’s Grotius lecture. Thanks to ASIL for inviting us to talk about the pacific and the future of international law. And a joy to reconnect with Hawaiʻi's Law School friends and colleagues Richard Chen and Maxine Burkett!

I can’t shake the heartbreak I witnessed while meeting with Palestine & Sudanese refugees during my Ramadan solidarity visit to Egypt & Jordan.

But I will not give up.

We must keep doing all we can to allow our common humanity to prevail in Gaza & other places around the world.

“People are shocked & appalled by what the US government is doing.” Annelle Sheline has resigned from the US State Department in protest over the administration’s ongoing support for Israel & the war in Gaza. “I know that I speak for many people” in the department, she tells me.

Days after a ceasefire res, additional ICJ preliminary measures, an 11-day siege of Al Shifa featuring torture & executions,the resignation of a DOS official, Matthew Miller smears UN SR Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt 4 doing her job & calling #genocide by its name.

sabrina's writing, whenever i come upon it, is such a lovely and welcomed interruption to my day. it's always deeply intelligent and full of curiosity and compassion. it's just nice to be, even briefly, in the presence of such an open and spacious mind.

What I do worry about is the fact that writers have become so frightened of being political. The idea that writers are being reduced to creators of a product that is acceptable, that slips down your throat, which readers love and therefore can be bestsellers, that’s so dangerous.
