🇨🇩When will the community of states stop turning a blind eye to the Congolese tragedy and accepting or tolerating systemic violations of international law and human rights?! It's time to act, to stop empty condemnations and to adopt political and economic sanctions against the criminal regime in Kigali 🇷🇼 !

Escalating conflict is driving record levels of gender-based violence, displacement and hunger in eastern DR Congo, threatening to push the country to the brink of catastrophe.
We must step up our support to the Congolese people. bit.ly/3JDtq3k

In 2018, 13-year-old Jaequan Faulkner started a small business selling $2 hot dogs with $1 sodas and chips from a stand in front of his house in Minnesota.
But his small business was in jeopardy after someone reported him to the Minneapolis Health Department.
Impressed by the young man’s drive, health inspectors decided to teach the young entrepreneur about proper food handling to assist him in getting his hot dog stand up to code.
The teen’s stand passed inspection, and it was the inspectors themselves who paid the $87 fee for his “short-term food permit."

This is heartbreaking, with echoes of the backlash Muslims faced after 9/11. We need all our political leaders to make clear that there is no place for any hate or bigotry against Muslims living in America. We need to speak up loudly against Islamophobia. Our words have consequences.

The Will Co. Sheriff confirms that last night’s murder of a 6yo boy & stabbing of his 32yo mother in Plainfield Township is being investigated as a hate crime, related to the war in the Middle East.
I’m told the victims are Palestinian. This 71yo suspect is their landlord.

ALT I join the call for an immediate ceasefire. As I have processed the tragic news of the past days, I think of the Palestinian and Israeli children caught in the middle. I was only 11 years old when I witnessed violence and terrorism. We woke up to the sounds of mortar shells, saw our schools and mosques destroyed by bombs. Peace became something we could only dream about. War never spares children — not those kidnapped from their homes in Israel, not those hiding from airstrikes or without food and water in Gaza. Today, I am grieving for all the children and people longing for peace and justice in the Holy Land.

This conflict for me has always been about morality.
Morally, you cannot justify the killing of Palestinian civilians, even if you say it’s fighting terrorism.
But morally, you also cannot justify the killing of Israeli civilians, even if you say you’re fighting occupation.
