Poets in Myanmar are not just on the front lines of an armed conflict, they are writing poems from the front lines and collecting them in an anthology to raise funds. Yet another example of the way poetry and resistance go hand in hand in Myanmar.

"What we are doing in Gaza now is a war of devastation: indiscriminate, limitless, cruel and criminal killing of civilians." -Ehud Olmert, former Israeli PM, writing in Ha'aretz tinyurl.com/bdh6zk87

Children in Burma cannot even attend school safely as the junta deliberately undermines their access by not hesitating to drop bombs or conduct indiscriminate attacks. A generation of children risks losing educational opportunities, denied by the military.

Here is my essay in The New York Times on why I’m suing the Trump admin. The admin’s sanctions against the ICC are an attack on global justice and the rule of law. This isn’t just policy—it’s a dangerous overreach that violates our First Amendment rights. ACLU nytimes.com/2025/06/06/opi…

We urge ASEAN, #China & #India to immediately halt direct support to Myanmar junta. Zero transparency on quake aid raises serious risks of diversion for military goals & war crimes. Continued support means complicity.#AidPeople_NotJunta #StopWeaponizationOfAid #MyanmarEarthquake

The junta's illegal & violent acts of terror continue to be perpetrated against students trying to study.
