Those who would wish to understand my approach to social media wankers & hecklers would do well reading the Rev. Dr. Martin King Jr. 1963 Letter from Birmingham Jail.

- I've recovered my password security keys with the help of @Google, regaining access to my work email & social media pages for the first time since my arrest & incarceration in Dec. I'm grateful for your support &solidarity. If they intended to scare me, they picked a wrong target
- I do not know who she is, but I think she has an important message for all Ugandans, especially the young ones. If you know her, please share with me her contact privately. I'd like to talk to her.
00:00 - I can now confirm that Hon Bobi Wine #FreeBobiWine is on a KLM flight out of Entebbe Airport. I just saw him off. We will now embark on getting Hon Zaake to leave for medical treatment too. Thank you for all your prayers and support
00:00 - In my many years of human rights work, when a person goes missing in K'la, the first place to check is the basement of Block C of the Chieftaincy of Military Inteligence. I've recorded many gory stories of survivors of that secretive dungeon. A one Capt. Okumu is in charge of it
- My best friend has passed away. You gave us, and this works so much. RIP Dad
- Anyone know the person in the picture below? I would like to speak to him about the beating of journalists yesterday at the UN Human Rights Office in Kampala. ANy information will be helpful. Thank you.
- Where are you going, my neighbour asked this morning. To work, I replied. But your permit was suspended, he continued. Yes, I retorted. What's suspended is a piece of paper, not my mind. I'll go on giving my service to those who need it, I concluded. We laughed & went our way.
- Hajji Nadduli, Museveni’s former minister without portfolio, & V/NRM Chair for Buganda, like Bukenya, the former V/President, mourns the sudden death of his promising son. Our condolences. It’s no joke now, is it? Like the many whose kids were gunned down, I hope he finds justice
- The distance between Arena Mall and the Hospital is less than half a kilometer. Imagine that! @KagutaMuseveni, I hope you see this and redress this situation. Your travel madness is affecting many lives, livelihoods, and the economy. What are your thoughts? What are you afraid
- Who are these foreign nationals flying around with the son of the president? Does anyone know them?
- People can judge all they want, but @IsaacSsemakadde is a brilliant, unconventional & rebellious lawyer. Sometimes you need these sorts of folks to shake the system. He may say a few choice words about me, but that does nothing to lessen my admiration for the man & the lawyer.
- Let it be settled that I left the country (Uganda) & taken residence at the Harvard Kennedy School of Government’s Carr Centre for Human Rights Policy. Let's re-sharpen the tools for the work ahead. #WillBeBack better & more resolved
- When you are filled with belief & hope; & diligently work hard at it, a door opens. Never mind when one closes, walk to the next one. HOPE. BELIEVE. HARD-WORK.
