Copies of my first book, coauthored with @monicaduffytoft, have arrived to the house! How magical! I never thought that little immigrant me would get the chance to write a book with @OxUniPress. 🤩
My parents definitely earned that dedications page. ❤️🥹

Los alto al fuego siempre son una buena noticia. Sobre todo si conducen a una paz justa y duradera. Pero el alivio momentáneo no puede hacernos olvidar el caos, la destrucción y las vidas perdidas.
El Gobierno de España no aplaudirá a quienes incendian el mundo porque se presenten con un cubo.
Lo que toca ahora: diplomacia, legalidad internacional y PAZ.

I do not appreciate anyone - Democrat or Republican - taking this moment to make TACO jokes to say Trump “chickened out.”
The president was threatening genocide against 90 million Iranians.
I’m grateful there’s a ceasefire & scores of innocent people didn’t die tonight.

This is the President threatening war crimes. Maybe he should try some carrots. The sticks aren’t working. truthsocial.com/@realDonaldT…

Trump-appointed Counterterrorism Director Joe Kent and I don’t agree on much — and I definitely don’t share his ideology. But when even he can’t, in “good conscience,” defend this administration’s rogue actions, that should tell you everything you need to know.
This war is illegal. It’s costing us billions, American soldiers have died — and Trump has once again lied to the American people.

After much reflection, I have decided to resign from my position as Director of the National Counterterrorism Center, effective today.
I cannot in good conscience support the ongoing war in Iran. Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation, and it is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby.
It has been an honor serving under @POTUS and @DNIGabbard and leading the professionals at NCTC.
May God bless America.

Wars of choice kill those who have no choice. "Mistakes" like the reported strike on a girls' school that killed 40 are the predictable result of poor planning and execution.

Remember that I predicted a long time ago that President Obama will attack Iran because of his inability to negotiate properly-not skilled!

I’d say something about public international law dying, but the truth of the matter is that it’s been dead for many years by now, and what we’re now seeing is just a public display of the shriveled corpse. It could also be that it was never alive in the first place.

I warned about this months ago, neocons coopting 'America First' to make case for LatAm regime change. They are all showing their colors this morning. From me: responsiblestatecraft.org/re…

Two thoughts on the Gaza ceasefire:
- I'm glad there is a ceasefire
- Its easy to agree to a ceasefire when there isn't much left to fire upon.

Woke up before dawn to catch our flight to Boston, but #APSA2024 in Philly was so worth it! The double rainbow 🌈 last evening was the cherry on top (esp. since we were on Cherry St. pier 😅)

Walking to my #APSA2024 panel, and look what I spot right next to my hotel. Not that I’m religious, but my great grandfather helped make this church possible in the 1900s, so that’s pretty cool! Ok, off to my panel now.
