Jesse Jackson marched with Dr Martin Luther King Jr and dedicated his life to advancing human rights for all Americans. He should be remembered as someone who stood on the right side of history when it mattered the most.🇺🇸

Iran’s government uses Kinetic Impact Projectiles (KIPs) - including rubber bullets and shotgun pellets - to intentionally punish, terrorize and blind protestors. This is not only unconscionably evil, it is also illegal under international law.🇮🇷 www.theguardian.com/global-devel...

General Min Aung Hlaing has command responsibility for atrocities committed by #Myanmar’s murderous military. But why is tiny East Timor the only country in Asia prepared to try to hold these perpetrators legally accountable? #UniversalJurisdiction 🇲🇲🇹🇱

“Some party hack decreed that the people had lost the government's confidence and could only regain it with redoubled effort. If that is the case, would it not be be simpler, If the government simply dissolved the people And elected another?” ― Bertolt Brecht

As Pres/CEO of @CVT.org it was always inspiring to meet refugees and asylum seekers who were torture survivors. The fact that ICE has now abducted 6 of CVT’s Minnesota-based clients is immoral, illegal and unconscionably cruel. www.startribune.com/rash-they-fl...

GOOD NEWS! One of CVT’s Minnesota-based clients has been released from ICE custody after 33 days in a detention facility. She said, “In the darkest moments, your compassion shown bright, reminding me I’m not alone.”

South Sudan appears on the brink of civil war. Again. Facing declining humanitarian aid and with global attention focussed elsewhere, the country’s rival politicians and predatory warlords prefer conflict to governing. www.globalr2p.org/countries/so...

The Obamas as Apes video is the logical end point of “birtherism” and the whole “MAGA agenda.” This was never about the suffering of “forgotten Americans.” This was always about race. Always. www.wsj.com/politics/tru...

By its own admission, #Iran suppressed the recent mass protests by gunning down thousands of civilians. But thousands more remain in detention and are at extreme risk of torture. www.amnesty.org/en/documents...

Until recently I worked at ⁦‪@CVT.org‬⁩. Now 6 of CVT’s clients - survivors of torture - have been abducted by ICE. All are in the US legally. These are people who fled authoritarianism, only to have masked thugs seize them in Minneapolis. www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

These are war crimes, plain and simple. And those who have command and control over the forces committing these crimes in #Ukraine belong in handcuffs at The Hague. That includes President Putin and all his top Generals.

@amnesty.org @cvt.org and more than 1000 other organizations in the USA call for an end to ICE’s onslaught on human rights and American democracy. www.amnestyusa.org/blog/letter-...

ICE out! ICE out of Minneapolis and everywhere else. This paramilitary gang is a threat to human rights and democracy in the US🇺🇸.

#Iran’s malevolent theocracy is not content to just murder thousands of protesters at home, they also export jet fuel to #Myanmar to assist the military dictatorship there in its war against its own people.

As CVT clients are taken by ICE, Sara Nelson tells @cnn.com they may get administratively canceled and deported. If deported, they may be a target once again for having fled their home country originally. “People are going to die, to be totally frank,” she said. www.cnn.com/2026/01/30/u...

5 years since the 1 Feb 2021 military coup in #Myanmar. What was true then remains so - robust international action is needed to hold the Generals accountable. That means sanctions, prosecutions, and diplomatic support for the NUG. Time to end the dictatorship. www.globalr2p.org/countries/my...

A new report from the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) has ranked Israel as the third worst jailer of journalists in the world, behind only China and Myanmar, in a damning indictment of the state’s escalating war on press freedom. Read: www.middleeastmonitor.com/20260129-des...

“Abolish ICE” is not a radical demand. It is a reasonable response to a violent militia that has murdered US citizens, kidnapped children, and is destabilising democracy. 🇺🇸#StandWithMinnesota

The best way to honour the memory of the six million Jews murdered during the Holocaust, is to ensure no people face similar atrocities today - regardless of their ethnicity, race, religion or identity. #HolocaustRemembranceDay #R2P

Iran’s theocratic rulers should face international justice. UN member states should exercise universal jurisdiction to prosecute Iranian officials responsible for the recent deadly massacres of protesters. 🇮🇷⚖️ www.globalr2p.org/countries/ir...

Auschwitz was at the end of a process. We must remember that it did not start from gas chambers. This hatred gradually developed: from ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder. Auschwitz took time.

ICE murdered Renée Good in broad daylight. Less than 3 weeks later, they killed Alex Pretti, shooting him 10 times. Every day, we watch as people are ripped from their cars, their homes, their lives. We can't allow ourselves to look away from this cruelty. Abolish ICE.

There was no real “election” in #Myanmar. The junta carefully choreographed some voting for selected pro-military candidates. The entire international community must deny Myanmar’s murderous Generals the recognition they desperately crave. #WhatsHappeningInMyanmar apnews.com/article/myan...

“Executions in the streets. Abductions by masked security forces at gunpoint. Mass detention in an abusive & unaccountable system. Disinformation campaigns to justify it all. These are the tools & tactics of the world’s most repressive regimes,” writes CVT's Scott Roehm www.cvt.org/statements/s...

The US Congress has the power to end this. There should be not one more cent in funding for ICE until there is justice for Alex Jeffrey Pretti and Renee Nicole Good. Not one more cent until ICE have been withdrawn from Minnesota. Accountability is an antidote to authoritarianism.

A Minneapolis mom just sent me this pic. A genuine slice of Minnesota emotions.

Another murder of a protester in Minneapolis by ICE. Another extrajudicial killing by masked federal agents. This is the ugly face of armed authoritarianism. This is Trump’s America. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

Despite freezing cold, Minnesota is showing the rest of the United States how you stand up to ICE, reject authoritarianism, and defend democracy and human decency. Don’t mess with the mid-west! #GeneralStrike 🇺🇸🥶

1 year ago, CVT began receiving orders from the US government to stop our clinical work overseas, impacting clients who lost care. More than 400 colleagues lost their jobs, all highly skilled & dedicated to helping survivors. Each day we think of their contributions, brilliance, kindness & wisdom.

Minnesota is the frontline of democracy and human rights in the United States right now. Please support organisations like @cvt.org who are resisting ICE’s cruelty: www.cvt.org 🇺🇸

It’s 1 year since President Trump slashed funding to life-saving humanitarian programs around the world. The impact on @cvt.org staff was catastrophic. For some of our refugee clients it was deadly. Or as I explained to the Minnesota @StarTribune… www.startribune.com/ceo-of-cente...

As a white person who lived in South Africa for a while, here’s some facts. There are approx 27,000 murders annually. But “farm murders” are less than 100 a year. Whites are 7% of the population and 1% of all murder victims. There is no white genocide.

Because even timid ASEAN can clearly see that there has been no real “election” in #Myanmar. Instead the junta ordered tightly-controlled “voting” in an attempt to legitimize military rule and bury democracy.

This is what happens when cruelty becomes government policy. Torture survivors are people who have fled dictatorship, persecution and state violence. Shame on ICE, President Trump and anyone who supports this disgusting slide into authoritarianism.

I was hoping this was fake but it’s not. The unhinged geriatric authoritarian in the White House just sent a message to Norway threatening to seize/invade Greenland because Norway didn’t give him a Nobel Peace Prize.

The “supreme leader” of #Iran’s malignant theocracy admits that thousands have been killed in recent protests. The atrocities of this murderous regime will not be forgotten nor forgiven. www.bbc.com/news/article...
