If you thought separating children from their parents was a terrible idea, and you also heard the President is trying to make it a permanent US policy, there are two things you can do. The first is #vote, the second is raise your voice. https://t.co/GSDJnFTZm3

We are back in Washington D.C. tonight to remind @realdonaldtrump that his scare tactics will not work. We will not be distracted. Families and kids deserve freedom - not jail. Text KIDS to 21333 to tell Trump to #EndFamilyDetention!

Yesterday, our staff visited the tent city of detained children near the border in Tornillo, Texas. While the kids there are being cared for, many don't know when they'll be released to families, or what their options are. Watch for more on this. #FamiliesBelongTogether

It's not illegal @realdonadtrump to seek safety and projection. In fact, everyone has the right, under international and national law, to seek protection.

[Amnesty International USA @amnestyusa]

Right now, we’re on the ground in Tornillo, Texas. Our team of researchers were just inside the infamous tent city built here to house the overflow of detained children who have been jailed just for fleeing violence in their home country.

The confirmed death toll of Hurricane Maria is 2,975.

Amnesty International's message in the @nytimes today, appearing in 134 countries: Criminalizing abortion only makes it unsafe and dangerous. Tomorrow, Senators in Argentina must change the law for the better.

The world is watching @SenadoArgentina #AbortoLegalYa 💚

The horrific reports from Douma show that civilians in Syria continue to pay the highest price for war. Syria, it’s time to protect civilians and end these unlawful attacks.

From Emma's silent six minutes.

This is the most emotional protest I've ever been to. And I wasn't expecting that.

#MarchForOurLives

@jbouie My stomach hurts.

[Rawya Rageh @RawyaRageh]

It’s March 15 in #Syria. The conflict has entered its 8th year. Let’s take a moment to remember it all started as peaceful protests that were brutally shut down by the govt. Let’s take a moment to think abt the catastrophic cost to civilians.. and the embodiment of impunity.

[Naureen Shah @naureenshah]

We told you this would happen.

Draw a direct line between #GinaHaspel elevation -- a person reportedly involved in destroying CIA waterboarding tapes, i.e. evidence of torture -- & Obama administration's decisions to let them get away with torture, "look forward not backward"
