There is zero reason for a mayor to travel this much internationally. It is borderline criminal for a lame duck mayor to travel this much in their finally weeks in office. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/18/n...

The Trump Admin will fire you for having a Pride flag on your desk but downplays & normalizes swastikas & nooses? Over 400,000 Americans died fighting Nazism. Hundreds of thousands died fighting slavery & Jim Crow. This is a slap in the face to every American who died to defeat bigoted ideologies.

The president of the United States just called for the execution of Democrats in Congress. youtu.be/ievd2PO33fI?...

Public statements do nothing for the Sudanese lying in mass graves, suffering from horrific sexual violence and torture, or fleeing their homes and languishing in displacement camps. The Sudanese people need action now! #Sudan #Darfur #elfasher humansecurityproject.org/the-sudanese...

So much of human progress was pushed forward by progressive ideas, by idealists who refused to accept the world as it was and fought to make it better. We need more of that now! youtu.be/yaLAcifFDEQ?...

"The LA Rams and LA Clippers have the power to make a moral choice, to suspend their partnership until Rwanda ends its support for M23 and engages in transparent peace efforts. Such a gesture would not be anti-Rwanda; it would be pro-humanity." humansecurityproject.org/every-logo-h...

Virality matters in today's politics. It's not the only reason @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social won, but it plays a big role. His ability to constantly deliver a clear, impassioned message, coupled with soundbites perfect for viral clips on social media, had an impact. youtu.be/G3d711gu7WA?...

While these Senators highlight the UAE's direct complicity in the mass atrocities perpetrated by the RSF in El Fasher, none of them support the bill (S.935) introduced by @vanhollen.senate.gov to restrict arms sales to the UAE until they stop arming the RSF. www.foreign.senate.gov/press/rep/re...

The Biden admin, Trump admin, bipartisan members of the House & Senate. Have all said the RSF has committed genocide in Darfur. None exerted pressure on the UAE while they continue to arm the RSF. Statements are meaningless to the people being slaughtered in #Sudan right now.

Trump says he's going to just keep killing people. youtu.be/T_cq9GYE2eo?...

Check out this episode of the Pragmatic Idealist where we discuss the fracturing in the Atrocity Prevention and genocide studies field with the ongoing mass atrocities in Gaza. youtu.be/leYo7niRqFM?...

The head of @jstreetdotorg says what Israel is doing in Gaza is genocide. It's not a question. If people took their blinders off, everyone would agree. But for too long, Israel has been treated differently. www.timesofisrael.com/j-street-hea...

Vast supplies of U.S. aid remain stranded, despite State Department promises www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/...

Can a new crimes against humanity convention fix the false hierarchy of atrocity crimes? Can we finally move away from analysis paralysis and actually do something? Can we break down the silos and move toward holistic prevention approaches? humansecurityproject.org/one-conventi...

Israeli human rights organization @btselem has a new report and video out, "Our Genocide," detailing the ongoing genocide in Gaza perpetrated by Israel. www.btselem.org/publications...

"As the conditions facing the Rohingya continue to worsen, addressing this situation requires more than reactive measures. It demands structural reform, sustained international pressure, and a rethinking of regional and global responsibilities." humansecurityproject.org/the-plight-o...

@miketheidealist.bsky.social argues a new convention on crimes against humanity would close a nearly 80-year gap in international law and potentially improve mass atrocity prevention, response, and accountability, thereby saving lives and combating impunity. humansecurityproject.org/one-conventi...

It's frustrating that the media is not talking nearly enough about the mass atrocities israel continues to commit in Gaza. It's also frustrating that seemingly no one is reporting on how insane it is that the Trump Administration has sanctioned @FranceskAlbs for doing her job!

Republicans are weaponizing citizenship for political purpose. These are dangerous times.

Imagine calling for Cuomo to step down only to then endorse him for Mayor.

The State Department will stop reporting on several human rights violations because the US is routinely violating international law. Namely it "won't condemn retaining political prisoners without due process or restrictions on "free and fair elections." www.npr.org/2025/04/18/n...

Sudani and friends of Sudan have been meeting with Congressional offices this week urging more action on Sudan. More humanitarian support is desperately needed but really what's needed is a political solution to end the war. More can be done to make this happen. #Sudan #Darfur

1/4. On the White House’s theory, if they abduct you, get you on a helicopter, get to international waters, shoot you in the head, and drop your corpse into the ocean, that is legal, because it is the conduct of foreign affairs.

A good sign of an authoritarian regime is the policing of free speech, thought, and expression. This is where we are in the US. And don't think it will stop with non-citizens. www.cnn.com/2025/04/10/u...

"Civil society actors, especially in the diaspora, have a role to play. We must firmly stand against the war and impunity. This including condemning violence against civilians committed by both parties." @mohanedelnour.bsky.social adds importance of supporting those documenting on the ground.

ICYMI, check out the full conversation on @timep.bsky.social's YouTube page.

Even if reach a resolution to the war in Sudan, @dalliasd.bsky.social explains: "The fallout will continue to reverberate for a long time. So how do we as Sudanese society and civil society and political actors work to combat this? We need to be prepared for what happens next." #TIMEPEvents

"Sudan has been called the worst displacement, humanitarian, education, and hunger crisis in the world. There are multiple issues happening at the same time, all of which need support," explains @miketheidealist.bsky.social on the extent of the war's impact on civilians. #TIMEPEvents

Following US foreign assistance cuts, @miketheidealist.bsky.social explains that we've seen "many organizations on the ground -- international organizations, Sudanese-led orgs, and Emergency Response Rooms -- having to pull back, not being able to provide as much food, as much medical care."

"There is pressure the United States can exert over the external actors that are providing arms to both actors to end the war. The US has strong defense partnerships with the UAE, Egypt, and others" says @miketheidealist.bsky.social. www.youtube.com/watch?v=tXlP... #TIMEPEvents

South Sudan is about to explode risking a county-wide civil war putting civilians under threat and the secretary of state wants to send people back there and prevent others from coming to the US. 🤦🏼‍♂️😭

The rule of law is hanging on by the thinnest of threads.

The US government spends nearly a trillion dollars on the military. The United States Institute of Peace's budget is $55 million. Not $55 billion. $55 million. It's like a rounding error in our federal budget. Yet, DOGE broke into the building and has taken it over. www.cnn.com/2025/03/17/p...

Absolute insanity. The Trump administration tried to get Sudan to take in Palestinians from Gaza. This should serve as a baseline for the Trump admin's understanding of the situation in Sudan. #Sudan #Gaza #Palestine #Trump www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

NEW: The Trump administration admitted that it detained Mahmoud Khalil with no allegation that he broke the law. Democrats' response? They expect Trump to follow the law. Just 14 of 100 CPC members signed onto Rep. Rashida Tlaib's letter calling for Khalil's release. theintercept.com/2025/03/11/m...

Just to recap the president of the united states, a billionaire, just hosted a commercial for the richest man in the world in front of the White House while cutting lifesaving food and Healthcare to the world's poorest and cutting benefits for Americans. Wow.

The thing about the United States is we have an incredibly corrupt system but no one ever talks about it or does anything about it. Yet we'll criticize other states for their corruption. 🤦🏼‍♂️😢

Trump stops aid and Intelligence sharing to Ukraine, immediately Putin ups the bombings. 😢

"Without immediate assistance, thousands of desperate families in Zamzam could starve in the coming weeks," said Laurent Bukera, the regional director for the World Food Program (WFP). #Sudan www.dw.com/en/sudan-un-...

Abdel Aziz al-Hilu's alignment with Hemedti and the RSF is a wild turn for Sudan. #Sudan #Darfur www.nytimes.com/2025/02/18/w...

Let's be clear, any "savings" DOGE creates by firing people and closing agencies will be completely undone by the $3+ trillion in tax breaks to the richest Americans. It won't lower the price of goods, it won't lower inflation, and you aren't getting money back.

3,000 dead in Eastern DRC in just a few weeks as M23 captured Goma. If they continue to Bukavu many more will be killed. Absolutely awful. www.cnn.com/2025/02/06/a...

I love how people who have quite literally never heard of USAID, have no idea what USAID does, have maybe never been outside the country, have never seen USAID programs in action are somehow now experts on USAID.

Marco Rubio had long supported the work of USAID, often speaking about the importance of US foreign aid as a part of our foreign policy. What happened? www.cnn.com/2025/02/05/p...

Russian propaganda fueling USAID disinformation. www.bbc.com/news/article...
