If you're at #ISA2025 in Chicago then please come along to the roundtable on my book Weaponizing Civilian Protection, where some much smarter people than me will pick it apart.
Sunday between 4 pm and 5:45 pm in Stevens Salon C-5 at the Chicago Hilton.
Shared a lift with Ellie Goulding + entourage at Heathrow.. will this be the highlight of #ISA2025 ?! No because I then found @kslootmaeckers.bsky.social @rguerrina.bsky.social and @kamwright.bsky.social while boarding 🤗
I'll be on this roundtable on Monday👇🤗
