I'd love it if you preordered, or recommended to a friend who knows we can do better, but isn't sure how to get there. https://t.co/orivvbdyHv 301 views · 1 likes · 0 reposts · 0 replies Open on X →

Ari Tolany and I co-wrote the chapter on AI and human dignity, which I'm delighted for people to read. There's a host of great ideas and thought here, across a wide swath of progressive foreign policy thinking.

To borrow a phrase, it's a book that intends to be the start of a conversation, a set of answers and questions designed to match the hunger we've seen in election after election for policy that affirms rather than offends human dignity https://t.co/orivvbdyHv 391 views · 1 likes · 0 reposts · 1 replies Open on X →

US foreign policy in the 21st century is a story of repeated failures to understand the world, responding instead with fear, reaction, expedience, and cruelty. The results have been tragedy and disaster. I'm happy to join my coauthors in imagining better. https://t.co/orivvbdyHv 2.4K views · 16 likes · 4 reposts · 2 replies Open on X →

In 1970, as Nixon assured the country that American military action in Laos was “limited” and “defensive,” Laotians living through the bombings told the truth, & drew it viscerally in pen. These survivors knew the war better than the people bombing them. https://t.co/78CReStoXR 630 views · 4 likes · 2 reposts · 1 replies Open on X →

"There is only one way forward from this stagnate state of affairs: taking Palestinian agency and self-determination seriously. To do so, the international community & all relevant actors to this conflict must apply the lessons of prior peace negotiations" https://t.co/0iRhisnTvG 39 views · 0 likes · 1 reposts · 1 replies Open on X →

"In previous attempts at Israeli-Palestinian peace, the US did not act as an unbiased mediator – instead heavily weighting the outcome in Israel’s favor time & time again. We now have irrefutable proof that this dynamic only destroyed possibility of peace" https://t.co/0iRhisnTvG 124 views · 0 likes · 2 reposts · 1 replies Open on X →

Future negotiations can achieve more durable peace by being more democratic in participation form and outcome, with accountability baked in from the start and the US's hands no longer heavily tilting the scale. https://t.co/0iRhisnTvG https://t.co/Ox0mtnxCuB

Two years into the extermination of Gaza, and 32 years after the Oslo Accords, it's crucial to understand failures of Oslo as baked in from the start. Durable peace demands future efforts be far more democratic, argues Dana El Kurd at @CIPolicyJournal https://t.co/0iRhisnTvG 702 views · 2 likes · 1 reposts · 1 replies Open on X →
