I may be tired and a little hoarse, but as I said again and again on the Senate floor, this is a moment where we cannot afford to be silent, when we must speak up. What’s most clear to me tonight is that this is just the beginning, that Americans across this country, no matter

Let’s get in Good Trouble.

Today I was notified that I’m being fired from my job as a press freedom reporter at Voice of America.

“This is not just a story about me but of thousands of Tibetans who have suffered and continue to suffer in jails of China under Chinese repressive policies.” —Namyki at #GenevaSummit2025

1⃣ month on since the ceasefire in #Gaza, the risk of war crimes, ethnic cleansing, crimes against humanity & genocide against #Palestinians remains high. Without addressing the root causes, violence against civilians in #Israel & the OPT will persist. See our 🆕 analysis ⬇️

Yesterday #UPR48 began in Geneva! Ahead of the session we provided member states with general recommendations for all states under review and specific recommendations on 🇧🇦 #Bosnia and #Herzegovina, 🇸🇻#ElSalvador, 🇮🇷#Iran and 🇮🇶#Iraq. 👀⬇️ https://t.co/99njzXiDz7

New from local Taliban in Herat province: Women news anchors are now completely banned from appearing on air. Previously, they were allowed to anchor shows with their faces covered, but the Taliban claim their presence provokes them and other men.

BREAKING: A group of Uyghur men who were detained in Thailand over a decade ago say the Thai government is preparing to deport them to China, alarming activists and family members who say the men are at risk of abuse and torture if they are sent back.

"They do not see women as human." — @Malala on the Taliban's gender apartheid. Speaking at the Muslim World League conference, Malala echoed what Afghan women & girls have demanded for over three years: the right to go to school & build their futures. https://t.co/5E2Lzcwxkm

On 9 & 10 December we commemorate the anniversaries of the #GenocideConvention & #UDHR. While these documents were signed 76 years ago the work the international community must do to uphold the aspirations outlined in both treaties is far from over. More ⬇️

Women know that men don’t scheme to “dress like girls” to assault them. They do it every day in broad daylight. And the ones in power protect each other to keep it quiet. Just ask the House Ethics Committee. Or the President-elect of the United States. Leave women alone.

Last night, 19 Senators voted to end illegal arms sales to Israel. We stood up to AIPAC, the Democratic Senate leadership, and the Biden administration. We must continue going forward to end illegal arms sales and hold Netanyahu accountable for his war crimes.

International Law is non negotiable and applies everywhere, at all times. International Law is non negotiable and applies everywhere, at all times. International Law is non negotiable and applies everywhere, at all times. #Gaza

Raise your hand if you don’t give a fuck about international law

Yesterday, #UNGA adopted a resolution on #DPRK human rights w/o a vote (despite controversy), calling for a HL meeting on 🇰🇵's abuses. However it falls short of bold action to break silos between intl peace & security & human rights. Dialogue ≠ action. https://t.co/pm4sT5UpzL

We’re on an unsustainable trajectory as a nation if we don’t address this distrust. On election night I said “I believe the opposite of democracy is apathy.” I still believe we can heal the country and restore trust and integrity to public service. Let’s get to work. END

In 2020 I was one of 7 dems that won a district that Trump won, so I held a series of listening sessions with people who voted for Trump and voted for me to understand their actions. I reread the transcripts yesterday and much of it felt like it could have been said today. THREAD

Tomorrow the #DPRK will be reviewed in the #UPR process. We urge states to recommend 🇰🇵 do the following: 🔺 Fully implement COI recs 🔺 Repeal policies that repress thought & expression 🔺 Fulfill all CERD obligations 🔺 & more! Read our full recs ⬇️ https://t.co/0XGMmlkfUx

I urge President Zelensky to deliver my message to fellow North Korean soldiers on the battlefield in Ukraine, so we can save these innocent lives. As a former NK soldier, I can’t bear to see them sacrificed in an unjust war driven by dictators. #Ukraine #SaveLives @ZelenskyyUa

🚨 Civil society has long warned of the dangers of ignoring #NorthKorea’s (#DPRK) human rights abuses and #CrimesAgainstHumanity. Now, unchecked violations fuel unprecedented risks to global peace & security.
