From Feb 23, a panel of 3 ICC judges will hear evidence to determine whether to confirm the charges against former Philippines President Duterte & send his case to trial. Read @hrw.org's Q & A about why this is a critical step in ensuring justice for the "war on drugs." www.hrw.org/news/2026/02...

AOC: "Extreme level of wealth inequality leads to social instability and drives authoritarianism, right-wing populism, and really dangerous domestic internal politics. That is a direct outcome of the failure of democracies over decades to deliver."

The cruelty of this regime in a nutshell.

Rubio's standing ovation in Munich after he declared the end of the “rules based order” shows how weak many European “leaders” have become. Instead of defending universal human rights they folded to his siren song of blood & soil. I called out Rubio's Trump-lobotomy last March:

Polish Deputy PM Radosław Sikorski tells DW's @ninahaase.bsky.social that Europe's most urgent security threat — Russia's aggression against Ukraine — was missing from US Secretary of State Marco Rubio's speech at the #MSC2026. ⬇️ Watch the full conversation.

While PM Viktor Orbán wasn't invited to #MSC2026, Hungary's opposition leader Péter Magyar met Germany’s Friedrich Merz, Poland’s Donald Tusk, Croatia’s Andrej Plenković and Austria’s Christian Stocker, among others. With a solid poll lead, he was treated as a likely future counterpart.

Je kunt niet juichen voor de antikoloniale boodschap van Bad Bunny én Jutta Leerdam een rolmodel noemen, schrijft @rubysanders.bsky.social. Tenminste, niet zolang Leerdam zich niet distantieert van haar verloofde die een fascistisch regime aanhangt. ‘Sport ís politiek. En politiek is kiezen.’

Switching from Russian gas to US gas (instead of just getting off gas altogether) is a danger to the climate and to Europe's security For a safe climate, clean air and water, and more peace – the EU must put and end to fossil fuels and move to 100% renewable energy #MSC2026

Donald Trumps radikale Abkehr vom US-Klimaschutz zeigt, wie wichtig es ist, dass sich die EU aus fossilen Abhängigkeiten befreit und die Deals für Flüssigerdgas (LNG) aus den USA beendet. Energiesicherheit für Europa gibt es nur mit Erneuerbaren! #MSC2026 @munsecconf.bsky.social

‘Paul is sindsdien een van de meest loyale voorstanders van Trump. Hij begeeft zich in de inner circle van de president.’ Paul was aanwezig op de inauguratie van Trump. Leestip: @esmalinnemann.bsky.social over de partner van Jutta Leerdam ⤵️

We have a strange situation where AOC is on a Munich panel with Czech President Pavel (ex-Nato general), leader of European Parliament centre right Manfred Weber (whose EPP at times voted with far right) & Daiana Fernández Molero, whose party in Argentina has aligned with Milei

Great news from the UK! “This verdict is a shot in the arm for British democracy at a time when it is facing a barrage of attacks by this government to undermine our rights to freedom of assembly, expression, and speech." - @yasmineahmed.bsky.social, UK director @hrw.org

Yesterday's @europarl.europa.eu res on #Uganda's electoral crackdown sends strong message: Violence against opposition should stop, should be no obstacles to civil society's work. @eudiplomacy.bsky.social should publicly press for end of attacks on critics. www.europarl.europa.eu/doceo/docume...

Shevchenko is a living legend. Infantino, well, is something else.

From literacy tests to poll taxes to grandfather clauses, the United States has a long history of using supposedly neutral rules to achieve racially discriminatory outcomes. Members of Congress should publicly commit to voting “no” to the SAVE Act and instead work to expand ballot access for all.

You can't attend #MSC2026 in person? Good news: You can still follow everything that's happening! 📲 Sessions will be streamed live on our website and covered on social media. Stay tuned!

"The billionaire, who shifted his tax residency to Monaco in 2020, is no stranger to wading into politics, having vocally backed Brexit and lobbied against green taxes and in favour of fracking." How do you describe somebody like this?

After the countrywide massacres of protesters in January, Iran’s authorities have continued to terrorize the population. Iranian authorities should immediately release all those arbitrarily detained and disclose the fate and whereabouts of those forcibly disappeared.

This week, the US House of Representatives will vote on legislation that, if enacted, would create new barriers for millions of eligible US voters. Members of Congress should commit to voting “no” to the SAVE Act and work to expand ballot access for all.

The Australian police punched and pepper sprayed protesters in Sydney who were demonstrating against Israeli President Isaac Herzog’s visit on February 9. The police’s use of force to prevent protests is a further erosion of basic rights in Australia. Learn more: https://bit.ly/45Zn0ah

The NSW police’s use of excessive force at a Sydney protest against Israeli President Herzog's visit shows the anti-protest laws are not making the community safer. bsky.app/profile/hrw....

"At a time when the rules-based international order is under threat, we need an EU that upholds core principles of international law such as the right to seek and receive asylum. Instead, we are witnessing the EU erode the international human rights infrastructure." - Judith Sunderland / @hrw.org

Congressmember @joaquincastrotx.bsky.social criticizes conditions at an ICE jail in Texas where hundreds of immigrant families are held — including kids as young as 2 months old. "None of them have committed any crime. … There’s cameras everywhere. Their movements are controlled. It’s like prison."

#Migration: the EU Parliament's "centre"-far right alliance delivered a new abomination: New rules will allow fast-tracking asylum requests and dumping people in places they have no ties with The same #EU complaining about erosion of int'l law is in fact contributing to it: hrw.org/news/2026/02...

This is an incredible resource for those interested in European culture, politics, and society. 👇

US Olympic Curling Team member speaks out against ICE: "I'm proud to represent Team USA. But we'd be remiss if we didn't mention what's going on in Minnesota and what a tough time it's been. What's happening is wrong. There's no shades of gray."

The Hong Kong High Court’s sentencing of Jimmy Lai to 20 years in prison is a devastating blow to media freedom in the city. The sentence shows the Chinese government’s determination to crush independent journalism and critics of the Communist Party.

Video from a Sydney protest shows police punching protesters, violently dispersing people kneeling in prayer & charging & pepper spraying protesters. The NSW govt should investigate the alleged use of excessive force by police & discipline or prosecute those responsible. www.hrw.org/news/2026/02...

A Hong Kong court gave media publisher and democracy advocate Jimmy Lai 20 years in prison. Six former executives and editors of Apple Daily also received sentences. Governments should denounce the convictions of Lai and his former staff and press for their immediate release.

Good #EU finally says it "raised concerns over #UAE's support" to RSF in #Sudan. See impact? 1000s deaths in El Fasher, on-going crimes in #Kordofan. @eudiplomacy.bsky.social should speak up, sanction #UAE officials, businessmen & companies involved in RSF support. euobserver.com/202243/eu-sa...

Accessibility isn’t optional. The decision by the United Nations to cut sign language interpretation for the next disability rights committee session undermines anti-discrimination obligations.

Alles hieraan is moreel pervers. Eerst bijdragen aan de verwoesting van Palestijns leven, massagraven, totale destructie door eigen toedoen, en vervolgens de filantroop uithangen. Er komt zelden iets goeds voort uit de macht van miljardairs; de combinatie met genocidale autocraten is destructief.

What could possibly go wrong?

Zakendoen met de regering-Trump is natuurlijk niet verboden. Maar Europese bedrijven riskeren wel reputatieschade. “De publieke opinie is aan het veranderen. In peilingen verwerpt bijna tweederde van de Amerikanen Trumps migratiebeleid.’ Leestip: Arvind Ganesan / @hrw.org sprak met @parool.nl ⤵️
