Incredibly proud to announce my book is coming out (in Dutch first!) on @uitg_thomasrap May 7. Stories from the edge of Europe, the people I met in my 3yrs on Lesvos and the journey back from the shadows.

Watching Biden take credit for this ceasefire is turning my stomach. This legacy building comes at the price of tens of thousands of already dead Gazans. He is nothing short of a criminal guilty of mass crimes against humanity.

Sending so much solidarity and strength to my beloved LA and the many many friends who have lost everything. This is just devastating to watch from afar.

To everyone who voted For Trump: was annexing Greenland, turning Canada into a state, taking over the Panama Canal and renaming the Gulf of Mexico part of your plan? Hope you enjoy your cheap gas and eggs while we spiral even more into the abyss. What a disaster.

Current situation in #Berlin. No water for most of the city due to a water main break in the neighborhood of #wedding. Water from these pumps is straight ground water. Okay to drink in an emergency but not recommended for longer term use.

Oh and this just happened. Neighborhood flooding and no water in the pipes. Perfect!
In Berlin kein Leitungswasser in der Silvesternacht, aber Hauptsache Seestraße wird überschwemmt 💀

Berlin is an utter disaster on NYE if you have a baby or a pet. Currently camping out on the floor in the back of the house with a white noise machine on max and we are still dealing with a terrified kid. I fuckin hate the fireworks.

And the UK… this is an utter joke. Yet again far right populism on the backs of Syrians.
After Germany and Austria, #Greece is also set to temporarily suspend decisions on asylum applications from Syrian citizens, the Migration Minister announced on Monday, According to Greek authorities, there are currently 9.450 Syrians living in camps across Greece.

This morning I am thinking about little Alan Kurdi and the many children who died while trying to find safety from the Assad regime. May their memory be honored forever.

My heart is with my dear Syrian friends tonight as we watch the end of the Assad regime. I have met thousands of them as they fled the horrors of Assad. Justice for the fallen, hope for the disappeared and may their efforts to create a free Syria be realized.

Word of the day is ‘recrudescence’ (17th century): the return of something terrible after a time of reprieve.
