A threat to wipe out "a whole civilization" may amount to a threat of genocide. All parties should respect international law, and those responsible for atrocities should be held accountable. New statement from HRW and 200+ groups, experts:

I’m out of words. Everyone enabling this man is complicit.

“The 2026 National Defense Strategy omits references to civilian protection and international law entirely.”

Don’t miss @iact.ngo ‘s Community Zoom tomorrow night. We’re going to be sharing about our soccer program in Mexico and the impact the current political environment has had on the communities there. Register with this link: us02web.zoom.us/meeting/regi...

Q: You suggested that Iran got its hands on a Tomahawk missile and bombed its own elementary school on the first day of the war, you're the only person in your government saying this. Why are you the only person saying this? Trump: I don't know enough about it. It's something under investigation

Re-upping this ask for journalism and media connections in Chad. The @iact.ngo AMPLIFi team is especially hoping for training focused on writing and digital media skills. #Chad #Media #Journalism #Sudan #Refugee

Hi all, I am looking to connect with journalists based in Chad or who regularly travel to Chad and are open to conducting journalism training sessions with our AMPLiFi team there. I would be grateful for any connections. #Journalism #Chad #Sudan #Media youtube.com/@amplifinetw...

iACT issued a statement yesterday pertaining to the DHS memo. We want to be clear. @iact.ngo stands with refugees. Unequivocally. Today, and always. www.iact.ngo/post/iact-re...

Do you know how grueling the process is to get refugee status and relocate to the US? I am seething, and so, so sad... apnews.com/article/minn...

"I am afraid because I am a naturalized US citizen. I came here at the age of six. I came as a refugee child whose whole world was a refugee camp right up until leaving for America. At forty-five, I am still the size of a child. Easy to shove, to push, to take." lithub.com/letter-from-...

Citizen journalists in Chad with @iact.ngo's AMPLIFi program are hoping to travel out to families who are living outside the refugee camps to tell their stories. Can you pitch in to fund their trip? We only need $76 more to make it happen. donorbox.org/amplifi

"In chants of ICE out now Our city’s heart and soul persists Through broken glass and bloody tears On the streets of Minneapolis" www.youtube.com/watch?v=wWKS...

I feel like working in nonprofit comms while your country is heading toward fascism should at least come with unlimited free coffee or something. I mean...

Alex Pretti "used to tell people off when they made sexist comments to female physicians. He bought me coffee when I had a really bad day as an intern...I laughed alongside him daily. He made a point to teach medical residents without judgement, but with a smile on his face and a joke."

Protester in Minneapolis just before disappearing in gas: "Fuck you! Stop. Damn! I'm 70 years old and I'm fuckin' angry!"

I am watching what is happening in Minneapolis on Ali Velshi and one of the ICE officers (off camera) literally says, “It’s like Call of Duty. Pretty cool huh?” as they shoot whatever it is they are shooting. Agents walking around, guns unholstered for no reason. This is insanity

"At stake are the rights that enable people to defend all other rights and live without fear from the arbitrary exercise of power and discrimination...When these rights are weakened, the harms do not stay contained – they spread." www.amnestyusa.org/reports/ring...

ICYMI: we're hiring! Come join our team at @iact.ngo!!

Stephen Miller sent a chilling message to ICE just days after an agent killed Renee Good. trib.al/82KBLQk “To all ICE officers: You have federal immunity in the conduct of your duties."

We cannot be more clear. Leave us the fuck alone.

Excited to share this new #job announcement from @iact.ngo. We are hiring a Development Manager. Come help us continue to resource and partner with conflict-affected communities! I can't say enough about working for this org. Message me if you want to know more. #hiring www.iact.ngo/post/hiring-...

"So, if this $2 billion is the end of the story and it's all the U.S. is going to provide, that is catastrophic, frankly." - Jeremy Konyndyk @refugeesinternational.org www.pbs.org/newshour/sho...

People are going to try and lure you into debates about whether Maduro was a good guy or not and the thing is, it doesn’t matter for the purposes of discussing whether violent kidnappings and extrajudicial murders by the US government are ok. No, they aren’t! End of convo.

Two weeks ago I spent the whole day at the Museum of the Moving Image to listen to New Yorkers. This is what Liam shared with me.

"Worldwide, this year is the first in decades that early childhood deaths will increase, the Gates Foundation recently reported. Researchers said a key factor is the cuts to foreign aid."

I am so proud of this team and the AMPLIFi program. Please take a moment to watch their story on Sudanese coffee culture.

Guys, have I mentioned just how amazing the projects are that are coming in from the @iact.ngo AMPLIFi Citizen Journalists?! Here is just a glimpse of part 3 in their series on refugee farming in eastern Chad. #Chad #Sudan #citizenjournalism #refugee

Enough with sports-washing. Enough with funding genocide.

Federal agents tossed tear gas canisters, released pepper spray and fired pepper balls at protesters, journalists and other observers during an operation Friday at a taco shop on the west side of Tucson, Arizona. See video from the scene:

Oh, well then…

"If we fail to confront those who are financing and arming this war, we are only treating the symptoms and not the causes." #Sudan #RSF #UAE #SpeakOutOnSudan www.dw.com/en/eu-uae-tr...

Thinking today of Al Fateh's article @iact.ngo posted almost exactly a year ago... "The innocent civilians of Sudan are suffering, the kind of suffering that cannot truly be described." #ElFasher #KeepEyesOnSudan #Darfur www.iact.ngo/post/refugee...

Is anyone using Starlink, or debated using Starlink for internet services for their NGO? I have...thoughts...but I would be curious how people dealt with the benefit of the technology vs. the dilemma of the company.

Trump wants the military to use American cities as "training grounds" and Hegseth thinks rules of engagement are too strict. If these two--plus Miller and Homan--could get away with death squads, they would so do it. 1/2

Following the example of @iact.ngo soccer players today and taking a moment for mindfulness. Breathe in, breathe out. #RUSA #Chad #Sudan #Soccer #Mindfulness

Referencing an early speech he gave, Ambassador Mark Green reminded us, “the purpose of all foreign assistance is ending its need to exist.” He followed with the idea that we need to go back to this, to a belief in humanity and opportunity. @devex.com #UNGA80

UN delegates listening to this must be questioning their translators bc surely nobody could say such idiotic and patently wrong things

I don’t even want to know what else this man is saying. Glad I’m in sessions all day talking about hopeful things and how we’re going to innovate and keep moving forward. #UNGA80

The 80th session of #UNGA is about to start at United Nations Headquarters in New York! Tune in and watch the live on UN Web TV: webtv.un.org/en/asset/k1n...

"The General Assembly is often dismissed as an annual parade of speeches. This year, it is something more: a test of survival." - Kyle Matthews #UNGA80 www.policymagazine.ca/more-than-mo...

Day 1 of #UNGA80. Looking forward to some important and hard conversations.

We are 19% funded – 40% down on last year. Millions going without food, healthcare, protection. Aid workers killed at record levels. This is an age of indifference – we must reform, regroup, renew. #UNGA80 Briefed journalists on headline crises:

Sharing for a friend. If you are able to contribute, please consider doing so to help this young father of five. "Doctors have strongly recommended an urgent implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) to protect his life and prevent sudden cardiac arrest." www.gofundme.com/f/martaja-os...

Re-upping this as we get closer to #UNGA80. Are you going to be there? Would love to connect, especially with any sports for development or digital media & storytelling folks! #soccer #sports #digitalmedia #storytelling

Fun thing about being a small NGO is the crazy small asks you have. Guys, I need help buying a 1TB jump drive for our storytelling team in eastern Chad. It's literally $59. Can you pitch in a couple bucks and help me pick up this needed item for them? THANKS!!! donorbox.org/amplifi

Our @iact.ngo team will be at #UNGA80 this year. Looking forward to inspiring conversations and making new connections. Let's connect if you're working on: 👉 Early childhood education in emergencies 👉 Sports for development 👉 Community-led humanitarian action #UNGA #Education #Sports

It's an early 90s indie-rock day. That's the only way we're gonna make it through...
