I love London so much. So much.

Did you know that London has the lowest level of ethnic violence of any city of comparable size in the world?

Multiculturalism has in fact worked here. They just don’t want it to be true because we happen to have a Muslim mayor.

I can relate to every moment described in this thread. A TV show on appellate practice would just be a bunch of lawyers staring at their computers, interspersed with lunch break and coffee break

[Time Trowel] The Ifugao Rice Terraces are 400 years old. That matters. The terraces were built by communities who responded to political and economic change with innovation and resolve. This is a story that should be front and center in our national narrative.

"Their terraces were part of a deliberate political and cultural strategy. They were built in response to threat, not as a product of isolation. They show how upland communities adapted and asserted control over their future in a rapidly changing world."

This is alarming!

As someone who studies political discourse and who believes, genuinely, in the promise of cross-party democratic deliberation, I say this repeatedly:

You CANNOT deliberate with someone who doesn’t believe you have a right to exist.

It doesn’t matter how “civilly” they want to destroy you

Important piece by @pstamase.bsky.social on impeachhment law and practice in the Philippines, very timely in view of impeachment of Philippine Vice President Sara Duterte (daughter of former President Rodrigo Duterte)

From the Right to be Consulted to the Right to No Contact: The Inter-American Court Faces Its First Case on Indigenous Peoples in Voluntary Isolation Yesterday, the Inter-American Court of Human Rights published a landmark ruling in the case of Pueblos Indígenas Tagaeri y Taromenane v. Ecuador, the first case in its 45-year history to address the r...

"this ruling serves as a critical reminder that Indigenous self-determination is not solely about participation — it is also about the right to remain apart."

Above all, Duterte is in The Hague because of the families of victims. Marcos action was the last domino but not the most important.

This Women's Month, I'm missing my former colleagues in the GPH-MILF peace negotiations. Immensely proud of everyone here!

Ex-president Rodrigo Duterte arrested over crimes against humanity (1st UPDATE) Due to drug war killings, Duterte becomes the first former Philippine head of state to be arrested through an order by an international tribunal

My article in the Philippine Natural Resources Law Journal is out! In this article, I examine the continuing epistemic violence that state-centric, extractivist land laws inflict on Indigenous peoples, with reflections on how to challenge these unjust laws using lessons from Fourth World advocacy.

Congratulations, Sophie!

¡Feliz Día de Los Reyes!

2024 was a very hard year. But so many friends (old and new) helped make the load lighter 💖 For all those who came to wash dishes, pick up groceries, do errands, sit with us at the hospital, gossip - thank you so very much! Sending hugs to you all!

We are going to crush 2025!

Respectfully, I cannot yet bring myself to read this article in the Leiden JIL because the abstract entertains the potential of Israeli annexation of Gaza & says development of the oil reserves is necessary & possible under this scenario.

It is not. At all.
