No photos with @erincook.bsky.social from coffee today but I swear it happened
Last week, the International Criminal Court #ICC held hearings for the confirmation of charges relating to Rodrigo #Duterte. The pre-trial judges have 60 days for their decision on the charges, and whether there is sufficient evidence to move to trial. share.google/KDEf6RaVTSzY...
Best believe your Bar review enthusiasts do not read beyond Bar review materials.
The absolute whiplash experienced by Philippine "international law professors" (Bar review enthusiasts) who have cheered on international law to work last week (vs Duterte) and now publicly declaring their feelings of bewilderment over what is happening, that perhaps international law should fail.
A Filipina carer was killed in Israel, super sad www.rappler.com/philippines/...
Imperialist violence is always bad thx
The ICC sampling the finest disinformation from the troll ops capital of the internet
My favourite bit of DDS disinfo: troll script now says Judge Sebutinde is with the ICC. Jeeeez
News cycle in the Philippines has been difficult to watch lately.
Hey! So good to know you’re at least healthy.
Julian Nicholls presented this photo at the hearing. This shows Duterte with Dela Rosa and Lapeña back in Davao. Evokes scenes from "A Rustling of Leaves: Inside the Philippine Revolution." Anti-communist counterinsurgency and the Drug War are intimately linked.

Great essay. I don’t know these words

Centerlaw is not yet on Bluesky, but they have shared Joel Butuyan’s opening statement in the ICC on their Facebook page. A statement that should go down in Philippine history. (1/2)
@ntinatzouvala.bsky.social 🙏
Can I show this to answer “What is the original contribution of your PhD?”
Kaufman credits Duterte for 4Ps. Kaufman calls the victim's presentation as mere politicking, no evidence. Here is data, showing how the victims of Duterte's onslaught were beneficiaries of the 4Ps.

The lines of Joel Butuyan’s opening statement should be seared in all of our minds, in our history forevermore. This is what the ICC proceedings mean for the victims. That last boat. And he reminds us what Duterte did to all of us. To our society. To our culture.
Those Drug War years felt like hell and maybe we will never truly patch those parts of ourselves, even as we are now away. I find great comfort in what Raffy Lerma told me: “andito tayo ngayon dahil trabaho natin to.” We are here today because this is our work. May Duterte’s victims get justice.
I have many thoughtsss
Hahaha I’m afraid
I am not sure if Bluesky is an appropriate platform for gym progress photos AND announcement of academic things like Twitter was
So I recently sat down with Sainted Judge Hilary Charlesworth (blessed be her name), Prof Di Otto, and Prof Christine Chinkin to record the Season 3 opener of #CalledToTheBar

Is this part of the Lucy Dacus concert marketing
I have the privilege of working with many fabulous feminist scholars as part of the @flsjournal.bsky.social editorial team. Those of you interested in critical feminist socio-legal issues (intersecting with a range of other topics), please read/follow the journal and think about contributing to it.
On The President’s Orders (2019), a PBS documentary on police and vigilante masked killings at the height of Duterte’s Drug War—“If they’re stubborn, shoot them.” My country’s policing and surveillance architecture came by way of American imperialism.

It's been a long time coming. After several years of revisions, my book Emotional Filipinos is coming out on April 15th. Please share and retweet! It would really mean a lot to me. Preorder sales available here: ugapress.org/978082037545...
