There is a large graveyard filled with my enemies. I do not wish to add to it, but will if given no choice. Those who pick fights with me do so at their own peril, but maybe this is their lucky day

I can’t overemphasize how essential the UN is to creating infrastructure and securing protections for migrants, including refugees. Even if this seems like The Thing It Should Prevent, it’s so important to remember the UN so often _is_ present for people when states have abandoned or targeted them.

the semi-glib answer is keeping the big countries from directly going to war the less glib answer is how much work the organization does on things like food security and education but neither is particularly comforting when it feels so impotent in the face of war and suffering

The "People who are calling for a ceasefire don't have an answer for how to deal with Hamas" line annoys me because people calling for indiscriminate bombing certainly don't either -- they are just pretending to, even though their solution is counterproductive.
