Some white South Africans who moved to the U.S. are returning home, saying their quality of life was better in South Africa than in America. Their experiences challenge political claims by Donald Trump & @elonmusk that white South Africans face “genocide.” balleralert.com/profiles/blo…

Today we honor the life and legacy of Reverend Jesse Jackson Sr. He carried the torch of the civil rights movement with courage and conviction, giving voice to the marginalized and reminding the nation that hope is a discipline, not just a feeling. Rest in peace, Reverend Jackson

TPS termination for Ethiopians places ~5K law-abiding workers, families & contributors to the economy—into sudden uncertainty. The decision ignores ongoing conflict & humanitarian crisis in Ethiopia. Humanitarian protections should respond to facts not politics. Congress must act

Thank you Congressman @Buddy_Carter for condemning the violence against Ethiopian Orthodox Christians and urging US engagement. Appreciation to @AmericaEthiopia for for engaging Congress & helping ensure this tragedy is not ignored. We must protect religious freedom everywhere.
The American Ethiopian Public Affairs Committee (AEPAC) strongly supports Congressman Earl L. “Buddy” Carter’s (R-GA) resolution condemning the Ethiopian government for systematic human rights violations, including religious persecution, and calling for targeted sanctions on Ethiopian government officials responsible for these atrocities. The resolution urges the U.S. Department of State to invoke all available diplomatic and legal tools—including the Global Magnitsky Human Rights Accountability Act—to hold accountable those involved in war crimes, crimes against humanity, and genocide. It further condemns the Ethiopian government for “actions that threaten regional stability, violate fundamental human rights, and undermine the strategic interests of the United States in the Horn of Africa.” Press read the press release for details. 👇🔗 nam12.safelinks.protection.o… @WhiteHouse, @StateDept, @USEmbassyAddis, @UAEthio, @UNOSAPG, @VP, @realDonaldTrump, @TheIRD, @StateDRL, @AsstSecStateAF, @richghazal, @markdtooley, @OrthodoxyNews, @indefchristians, @RepJohnJames, @housegop, @Repsarajacobs, @YoungKimCA, @RepJimBaird, @RepMillsPress, @RepGaramendi, @IMFNews, @JusticeOfficeUS, @WorldBank, @WorldBankAfrica, @StateIRF, @USCIRF, @IrfSecretariat, @Sean_ADFIntl,@SenMarcoRubio, @RubenGallego, @ElissaSlotkin, @AndyKimNJ,@AdamSchiff, @CEXAlsobrooks,@CurtisUT,@RepGaramendi,@RepSaraJacobs, @RepJimBaird, @RepYoungKim, @RepMillsPress, @CongresswomanSC @michaelgwaltz,@RepMarkWalker,@RepRileyMoore,@TomColeOk04,@HouseAppropsGOP
