Thoughts with Filipino journalists & others inside the Senate amid chaos surrounding attempts to arrest ex PNP Chief who was in charge during #Duterte’s so-called “war on drugs”. On Monday the #ICC confirmed it had issued an arrest warrant agnst dela Rosa as part of its CAH case.

New by @amnesty.org on Israel’s systematic destruction of high-rise buildings in Gaza. UN Satellite Centre: based on imagery collected 22-23 Sep 2025, 83% of structures in Gaza were damaged/destroyed; 37% increase comp to 2 mo prior. www.amnesty.org/en/latest/ne...

Four years later — no arrests, no charges. Impunity that undoubtedly contributed to the killing of hundreds of journalists since. According to CPJ, in 2025 alone, Israel killed at least 84 media workers & journalists, far more than any other country. #JusticeForShireen #JournalismIsNotACrime

Today marks 4 years since Palestinian-American journalist Shireen Abu Akleh was shot & killed by the IDF while reporting in the West Bank. Both the Trump & Biden admins have failed to get justice for her killing. [1/2]

RDC: un rapport d'Amnesty accuse les rebelles ADF de crimes contre l'humanité

This is most acutely felt by former female combatants and other female survivors of the group's abhorrent violence. In this regard, we at Team Bridgeway will soon also have a new paper out on the role and experiences of women in ISCAP.

This new report on ISCAP/ADF from @rawya.bsky.social @amnesty.org does a superb job of highlighting not only the many atrocities committed by the group in eastern #Congo on almost a daily basis, but also the lasting emotional and societal impact on survivors www.amnesty.org/en/latest/ne...

📢 In Nov 2025, I visited N Kivu province in eastern #DRC to document the impact of the brutal campaign of violence against civilians by the Islamic State-linked, Allied Democratic Forces (#ADF). We documented abuses that amount to war crimes & crimes against humanity. @amnesty.org

Good morning to everyone except those who commit crimes against humanity (and war crimes). www.amnesty.org/en/latest/ne...

“Ain’t that America?”

Been waiting for years for someone to write this piece. @DionNissenbaum’s byline meant it would surely include crucial analysis abt McGurk’s role in Iraq spanning to “‘the admin took an approach that… fed a narrative that the U.S. was viewing Palestinian lives as somehow less equal’”. Must read.

My dudes what is america without this? We immigrants are attracted to america because of Black culture, because of Latinx culture, because of the cities full of every type of person, because the prospect of coming to this country and succeeding despite not being white and wealthy.

Just gonna leave this here. (Borrowed image)

It goes without saying that what is happening @washingtonpost.com is part of a wider effort to dismantle news institutions in the US at a time when they’re needed the most. From NPR to CBS to WaPo — those responsible for rights abuses know full well the power of honest journalism.

Damn. Bezos really went for the darkness.

In Nov, I visited E #DRC to investigate acts by Islamic State-linked #ADF. 40+ victims (men, women, children) spoke of abductions, killings, sexual violence, forced labor. My @amnesty.org OpEd on ADF’s #warcrimes, need for UNSC/others to do more to protect civilians. www.amnesty.org/en/latest/ne...

“The Coalition Air Forces conducted a limited military operation this morning targeting weapons and combat vehicles unloaded from the two ships at the port.” Mind boggling the statement refers to this as an act of the “coalition”. Perhaps since that’s the legal cover for Saudi mil action in #Yemen?

I watched The Voice of Hind Rajab last night. Twice. I have no words. Please go see it. Tell everyone about it. And if you’re so inclined, support the Palestinian Red Crescent. donate.mazloweb.com/donate/7PKxN...

I can’t believe we are watching the deliberate starvation in Gaza and are this helpless. How is this 2025? How did we as a human race allow this to happen? How?

Badar’s fellowship is partially subsidized by the Scholars at Risk program, which works with U.S. universities to host international scholars facing threats in their countries. He never imagined that a country with a Scholars at Risk program would one day pose a risk to scholars. A powerful essay ⤵️

@aljazeeraenglish.bsky.social is running an utterly heartbreaking report by Mohamed Vall from the Sudanese capital Khartoum. He says the destruction has rendered the city unrecognizable. And it shows vividly in the report. If you’ve ever been to Khartoum, you’d recognize many places now in ruins.

Video shows former Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte being arrested on a plane at Manila airport on an International Criminal Court (ICC) warrant over alleged crimes against humanity during his crackdown on drugs.

Between 2016-2019, my colleagues & I documented extrajudicial executions under #Duterte’s “drug war” among other violations. The work was cited in the request to investigate him over crimes agnst humanity. That the people of the #Philippines could witness justice served… apnews.com/article/rodr...

Make a huge mistake. Then make a false claim about how you fixed it. They did it for PEPFAR. Now Ebola. I follow this particular topic VERY closely, so here's what really happened and why this isn't true AT ALL...🧵

📣 Out Now: @amnesty.org’s report “‘I’m a child, why did this happen to me?’ Gangs’ assault on childhood in #Haiti” Based on 112 interviews, we document ‼️ Recruitment of children ‼️ Rape & sexual violence ‼️ Killings & injuries ‼️ Impact on children with disabilities www.amnesty.org/en/latest/ne...

In September, I went to Haiti with a colleague and we interviewed 50+ children. Our @amnesty.org report on the gangs’ assault on childhood comes out next week.

Charges? “‘The individual hid the item on his person and unveiled it late in the show’… The show continued without interruption...”

A performer who was part of Kendrick Lamar’s Super Bowl halftime show was detained by security after waving the Sudanese flag and Palestinian flags together with the words “Sudan” and “Gaza” written on them toward the end of the performance, the NFL says.

Executive order to follow?

You know how football fans are superstitious… Wonder if KC fans will be pondering who’s the unusual visitor who brought them bad luck…
