Hi to the approximately 500 people who started following me in the last 2 days! I mostly specialise in how businesses & international economic law impact human rights in conflict, authoritarian, post-conflict & post-authoritarian situations from a legal perspective.

@StephenM shut up you ugly fuck

One of the very best investigations of the IDF shooting children in Gaza.

[Tara Van Ho @TaraVanHo]

Tell us you don't know the current reality of the Middle East without telling us... No one is seriously suggesting Israel will/should "go away." BUT it needs to 1) stay in its own borders & 2) abide by international law. It currently doesn't do these 2 basic things.

[Congressman Randy Fine @RepFine]

You’re either in or you’re out.

To Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and our so-called allies: no more going halfway.

Israel is a democracy and the permanent superpower of the Middle East.

The time to live in the fiction that it might somehow go away is long past.

It’s time everyone rows in the same direction and deals with reality.

[Tara Van Ho @TaraVanHo]

@wverts @Chicago_Goofies @POTUS So you like how many unconstitutional EOs he has signed? Is that why you want another? So weird.

[Tara Van Ho @TaraVanHo]

@SugarSkullsJK @pebbles9677 @Chicago_Goofies Trump isn't a Muslim, so I think you're drawing conclusions you don't understand.

[Tara Van Ho @TaraVanHo]

@GruntIW @pebbles9677 @Chicago_Goofies Your art teacher never taught you guys about perspective, did they?

[Tara Van Ho @TaraVanHo]

@RepFine Did you say that to Representative Mast when he wore his IDF uniform to the Capitol?

[Tara Van Ho @TaraVanHo]

Narrator: it was not arbitrary. The equivalence is real. The objectors are telling on themselves.

[Gideon Sa'ar | גדעון סער @gidonsaar]

Israel firmly rejects the decision to impose sanctions on Israeli citizens and organizations.

The European Union has chosen, in an arbitrary and political manner, to impose sanctions on Israeli citizens and entities because of their political views and without any basis.

Equally outrageous is the unacceptable comparison the European Union has chosen to make between Israeli citizens and Hamas terrorists. This is a completely distorted moral equivalence.

Israel has stood, stands, and will continue to stand for the right of Jews to settle in the heart of our homeland. No other people in the world has such a documented and longstanding right to its land as the Jewish people have to the Land of Israel. This is a moral and historical right that has also been recognized by the law of nations, and no actor can take it away from the Jewish people. The attempt to impose political views through sanctions is unacceptable and will not succeed.

This is pretty much just a list of war crimes. The problem with the U.S. is too few people understand the laws of war, or understand how they protect us.

[Tara Van Ho @TaraVanHo]

The GOP has nothing to offer Americans so they shout "Sharia!" And say things like "we need to save our puppies from Sharia!" in the hopes it dostracts their base long enough. Rather pathetic.

[Congressman Randy Fine @RepFine]

I am proud to introduce the Protecting Puppies from Sharia Act.

Democrats are losing their minds because I made a simple statement—given a choice between our dogs and those who would ban them, the choice is easy.

They can pound sand.

This bill will ban federal funds to any state or local government that considers dogs “haram.”

Proceed accordingly, Mamdani.

@RNCResearch Where does she say she wants to "let criminal illegals roam our streets"? Because it's not in that clip. Or are you really so dumb as to think ICE is the only want to address crime committed by undocumented migrants?

[Tara Van Ho @TaraVanHo]

@RNCResearch That *is* working hard for the American people.

[AnatolijUkraine @AnatoliUkraine]

Oof.

That wasn’t “anti-American.” That was anti-MAGA — and Europe can tell the difference.
They’re not booing athletes. They’re booing what the flag is being used to excuse.

Because for years they watched the U.S. preach democracy, then flirt with authoritarianism on live TV.
They watched Trumpism export chaos, cruelty, and sermons about “strength” while allies paid the bill.

And Vance is the perfect symbol: smug certainty, zero accountability, all culture war.
So the crowd did what diplomacy won’t — they told him the truth in one loud sound.

When a stadium of 65,000 whistles you, that’s not “surprising.”
That’s a referendum.

[Piercamillo Falasca 🇮🇹🇪🇺 @pier_falasca]

We booed JD Vance, not the athletes.
Italy has always been a loyal ally and a friend of the US, but friendship needs respect. Current US Administration is not respecting allies. Mr Trump offended the memory of the 53 Italian soldiers who died in Afghanistan, where we sent our troops answering the call after 9/11. We have been hurt by stupid tariff policies against our goods. We don’t accept the US leaving Ukraine alone and be so aggressive against Denmark for Greenland.
But we still have faith in the American people, which has been forged also by millions of our immigrants.
Make America Decent Again.

@tedcruz Your party currently has full control of the government. If you wanted to pass a bill banning partisan gerrymandering, you could and it would almost certainly get Democratic support.

[Tara Van Ho @TaraVanHo]

@tedcruz Now.... do Ohio. Tell us how Ohio's political gerrymandering is an insult, particularly in light of the state constitutional amendment to prohibit gerrymandering. Tell us how Jim Jordan shouldn't have a seat. Do that or be quiet while you sit in your hypocrisy.

[Omar Shakir @OmarSShakir]

Novel? @hrw found in 2023 denial of a return to amount to a crime against humanity in Chagos. This is based on @IntlCrimCourt precedent. Other reports echoed the analysis. Are you calling on HRW to retract a report for its first-time ever or it just different rules for Palestine?

[Tara Van Ho @TaraVanHo]

Hey @cbs11jack, can you explain these two things:
1) why is Trump "former President"? Do you know something we don't? (Pls say yes!)
2) How did the 2 Republicans combine for more votes than Rehmet but Rehmet had more votes than the 2 Republicans combined?

@BraunStatue96 @JDVance You are not good at the whole reading comprehension thing, are you? It's enforced *in other ways.* Like terminating intel sharing & supplying components that are needed to maintain military equipment. It's enforced through economic sanctions & changes in economic partnerships.
