I last posted 1 y ago. Took a break from X. My 1st post back is to personally ask anyone reading this to take action to stop the Trump admin's killings at sea. While these attacks have drawn bipartisan condemnation - more pressure is needed. #Itsmurder act.amnestyusa.org/page/180109/ac…

We are inspired by the more than 100 high school and university students from across the country who joined us today in asking Congress to end family detention and support the Dignity for Detained Immigrants Act. As students visited congressional offices, they dropped off handmade paper dolls made by children and community members across the country as part of the Paper Dolls to Free Families campaign. Immigrant rights are human rights! amnestyusa.org/press-releases…

Today more than 100 high school and university students from across the country are in D.C. urging their congressmembers to push for accountability for the victims of these horrific boat strikes. They are asking Congress to urgently stop these murders and hold the Trump administration accountable for its disregard for international law and human rights. amnestyusa.org/press-releases…

11 more people killed, bringing the total to more than 140 dead. This murder spree is unconscionable and illegal. Congress must do more to rein in this administration's lawless actions. Please take action now: act.amnestyusa.org/page/180109/ac…
U.S. Southern Command@Southcom

Late on Feb. 16, at the direction of #SOUTHCOM commander Gen. Francis L. Donovan, Joint Task Force Southern Spear conducted three lethal kinetic strikes on three vessels operated by Designated Terrorist Organizations. Intelligence confirmed the vessels were transiting along known narco-trafficking routes and were engaged in narco-trafficking operations. Eleven male narco-terrorists were killed during these actions, 4 on the first vessel in the Eastern Pacific, 4 on the second vessel in the Eastern Pacific, and 3 on the third vessel in the Caribbean. No U.S. military forces were harmed. @DeptofWar #OpSouthernSpear

The FBI’s raid of Washington Post journalist, @hannah_natanson's home is deeply concerning and alarming. Over the last year, the Trump administration has targeted journalists and outlets that have reported unfavorably on his administration’s actions. Attempts to silence, intimidate, and sow distrust amongst the media are authoritarian practices. A free press is necessary to hold governments’ accountable to their actions, a critical piece in upholding human rights.

We share @collinsdyl's demand for justice. US authorities must open a war crimes investigation into this attack and ensure accountability goes all the way to the top of the Israeli military's chain of command.
Senator Peter Welch@SenPeterWelch

Vermonter and video journalist Dylan Collins: On October 13th, 2023, I was wounded in a targeted double tap attack by Israeli forces on a clearly marked group of journalists in southern Lebanon. We thought the fact that we could be seen was a good thing, that it would protect us. But after a little less than an hour at the site, we were hit twice by tank fire, two shells on the same target—37 seconds apart.

As the United States hosts leaders from Central Asia at the C5+1 Summit, U.S. policymakers must ensure that the protection of human rights is placed at the center of the dialogue. Today's summit offers a chance – and test – for the U.S. to demonstrate that it can play a positive role on human rights. amnestyusa.org/press-releases…

Since September, the U.S. military’s Southern Command has gone on a murder spree following the Trump administration’s illegal orders. Congress must exercise its oversight role, put an end to these air strikes, and hold those responsible accountable. amnestyusa.org/press-releases…

The U.S. military’s repeated air strikes targeting unidentified boats at sea have killed at least 34 people. These strikes are illegal under international human rights law, unconscionable, and dangerous. The use of lethal force in this context has no justification. If the U.S. government can unilaterally decide to bomb anyone it labels a “terrorist”—anywhere, anytim —it sets a chilling global precedent. No government should have the power to kill without accountability. Take action now: act.amnestyusa.org/page/180109/ac…

This additional restriction comes as women and girls in Afghanistan are facing increasingly draconian attacks on their rights that affect all areas of their lives.

A report by @haalvsh, a Baluchi human rights organization, that on 13 Oct Iran’s security forces indiscriminately shot at scores of Afghan individuals at the Pakistan-Iran border is horrifying, as is any denial of adequate health care in Iran and Pakistan to those injured. 1/3

The flow of deadly weapons is one of the main things perpetuating the emergency in Sudan. We must show the Sudanese civilians we have not abandoned them. Tell Congress to enforce the Darfur arms embargo now: act.amnestyusa.org/page/133957/ac…
