Because dope the US is not aiding and abetting the genocide in Sudan. It’s aiding and abetting the genocide in Gaza. No reason to protest you for Sudan. Duh

We @amnesty spent yesterday visiting the Assad government’s security and intelligence branches in Damascus. For years, survivors had described the horrors they experienced in these underground dungeons. But nothing could have prepared us for what we saw.

Why is the US bombing Yemen- with a B-2 bomber no less - with zero congressional authorization? Are these members of Congress literally asleep or drugged?

When Congress returns, the Senate will be voting on my resolution to block offensive arms sales to Israel.
How many thousands more children must Netanyahu starve, kill, or orphan before the U.S. changes its policy?
We must end our complicity in this cruel and illegal war.

I urge civil society orgs, trade unions, scholars, students, civil servants, people of faith, journalists who still have a sense of ethics, ordinary citizens who are paralysed by the horror unleashed against the Palestinians and other people in the region, TO NOT DESPAIR (we cannot afford that luxury). Justice can and will be delivered, if we work alltogether to make it happen. And we will miss intl law when it is no longer there (risk is real). So let's use it. Below are some practical actions you can work on, to make sure our respective governments stop enabling atrocities with our taxes and in our name.
International order on a knife’s edge. After the #ICJ's landmark decision regarding the obligation to end Israel's unlawful occupation, here are 14 recommendations for member states to promptly comply with it:

People who feel more offended by a piece of fabric than the killing of 17,000 children have a broken moral compass.
