Beautiful welcome to Washington Post HQ. Excited to meet some of the world’s most amazing journalists and happy to continue to uncover and document abuses committed by Russian paramilitaries in Africa.

I’m not afraid to inform Europe that Russia’s hybrid warfare in Africa is intentionally engineered not only to exploit resources and destabilize nations, but also to generate instability that drives large-scale migration toward Europe and weakens EU democracy and cohesion.

Fired up and ready to speak in Kampala, Uganda, about crimes, including rape and torture, committed by Russian paramilitaries deployed across Africa.

I documented villages where civilians disappeared after encounters with Russian fighters. I spoke with kids who described torture. I walked through areas where people lived in fear. What I saw convinced me that Africa was becoming the stage for a new kind of geopolitical struggle

Russia is clearly seeking Cameroonian support — and fighters — for its war on Ukraine

Russia is engineering a migration bomb for Europe. Disinformation on local airwaves in Mali and Niger pushes desperate youth toward deadly routes; Russian paramilitaries guard traffickers in Libya. Endgame? Chaos at EU gates, fractured politics. Europe ignores this at its peril.

These are voices of Russian soldiers confessing to their families about crimes they’ve committed in Ukraine. It’s similar to confessions from Wagner paramilitaries who’ve committed numerous human rights abuses in Africa

In Vienna, I took time to explain to diplomats, human rights campaigners, and civil society leaders how Russia’s African troll armies don’t just stir trouble locally but flood social media and diaspora channels with coordinated narratives designed to hit Europe where it hurts.

Russia is recruiting students nationwide with large financial packages to join drone units in Ukraine as operators and engineers, while businesses in the central Ryazan region face government-imposed quotas to sign up employees for the army.

A Russian soldier records a large group of African mercenaries who have been recruited to fight in the war against Ukraine.  While filming them from behind, he quietly remarks in Russian:  "Look how many disposables are here."

In 2015, I interned with @maketheroadny.bsky.social as part of their Worker Rights Program. Today, I was proud to stand with them as an Assemblymember to demand the passage of New York for All to end NY's collaboration with ICE. In this moment of crisis, we must be BOLD. ¡Sí se puede!

Poisoned & burned: How Canada turned soldiers into lab rats From 1941 to 1989, for nearly 50 years at Alberta’s Suffield Experimental Station, about 4,000 Canadian military volunteers- mostly young, low-ranking soldiers- were exposed to chemical warfare agents in secret defensive trials.

I brought a pocket Constitution to the Senate floor to give Congressional Republicans a civics lesson. Only Congress, not the President, has the power to declare war.

It's a huge problem to live on $174,000.00 a year and get free food, medical and a housing allowance. It must be difficult. You obviously have a house in your district. And you get a housing allowance. Insider trading is illegal. Stop making excuses. #USDemocracy

The Epstein investigation is proof we have a two-tier justice system: one for the wealthy & well-connected and one for survivors. Oversight Democrats took our investigation to Palm Beach where many of the horrific crimes—and failures of justice—took place. We will not stop pursuing accountability.

Like this mom bear sometimes I just want to run and hide from it all---but I soon realize there is no hiding from the horrors perpetrated by ICE and one must call it out everyday in every possible way.
