Some people are now bringing up an Interdict!!! 🌚

What a time to be a cradle Catholic with a distinct dislike for American Adult Converts

Thank you!! Made possible by NSAIDs lol

Choosing ‘Leo’ to honour the pope who established modern Catholic social teaching, NOT leaning towards being American and having the endorsement of liberation theology fans! Leo and Francis make a strong case for Popes ‘outside’ Europe. Now I am pumped for Good Friday 😤

I’m a PhD candidate!

Last of the social media blast I promise! I am going to hibernate for the weekend!

Hey thanks! Neri is the spotlight but happy to help the audience navigate some of the ins and outs!

New (open access) article in the European Journal of Legal Studies of EUI. It’s about Duterte but also about time, damage to time, and maybe(?) reparative attitudes towards ruptured time. Written some time back, in a different world.

Aggression, Plain and Simple: A Response to Shany and Cohen on the Attack on Iran Legal academics debate the state of international law and international institutions in light of the US-Israel-Iran War.

It was a privilege to join forces with @bechamilton.bsky.social to write this piece on the Iran war in response to Yuval Shany and Amichai Cohen

ICC concludes confirmation of charges hearing in Duterte case Today, 27 February 2026, the confirmation of charges hearing in the case The Prosecutor v. Rodrigo Roa Duterte concluded before Pre-Trial Chamber I of the International Criminal Court (ICC), composed ...

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.

Filipino caregiver in Israel killed during airstrike (1st UPDATE) President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. says the Filipino caregiver was assisting her patient to reach a bomb shelter but was struck by shrapnel before they can arrive

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)

Can I show this to answer “What is the original contribution of your PhD?”

Examining the Effects of Drug-Related Killings on Philippine Conditional Cash Transfer Beneficiaries in Metro Manila, 2016–2017 | Journal of Illicit Economies and Development

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
