@abbydphillip @kaitlancollins Wow the hate on this comment chain is really grotesque.

[Claude Cahn @ClaudeCahn1]

@HolocaustMuseum I am child of a survivor. Governor Walz isn't making a false equivalency, but rather an accurate one: children are now hiding in attics solely because of who they were born. The Diary of Anne Frank moves people because the persecution of children is intolerable.

[US Holocaust Museum @HolocaustMuseum]

Anne Frank was targeted and murdered solely because she was Jewish. Leaders making false equivalencies to her experience for political purposes is never acceptable. Despite tensions in Minneapolis, exploiting the Holocaust is deeply offensive, especially as antisemitism surges.

Call for applications to the International Contest for Minority Artists 2026, on the theme “War and Reconciliation.”

Conflicts around the world increasingly target minorities. Whether through painting, photography, sculpture, installations, digital arts, film, music or dance, minority artist human rights defenders document war and conflict by preserving memories, humanizing victims, and challenging official narratives.

Are you an artist who self-identifies as belonging to a national, ethnic, religious or linguistic minority? Then you can digitally submit 5 of your works from anywhere in the world, together with a personal statement addressing the theme “War and Reconciliation,” with no fee.

🗓 Deadline: 1 March 2026

🚫 Discrimination remains a pressing issue in Indonesia & globally, affecting people in vulnerable situations and marginalised groups. Laws & policies must comply with international human rights standards.

📅 On 16–17 Sep in Jakarta, UN Human Rights joined the National Symposium on the Draft Bill on the Elimination of Comprehensive Discrimination (RUU PDK) with 150+ participants from govt, academia, civil society, embassies, media & students.

👉 The symposium reaffirmed the need to adopt comprehensive equality law⚖️, echoing Indonesia’s UPR & treaty body commitments. Together, we must end discrimination 🚫 & build a society of justice, dignity & equality. 🌏✨

Valuable talk with #Roma communities about fighting discrimination.

Denied access to education, health & decent work, Roma have been facing structural racism for decades. Hearing minority voices is crucial to dismantling injustices & to tackling today’s deepest crises.

[Todd Zolecki @ToddZolecki]

Kyle Schwarber crushed this ball 425 feet. The homer he hit here in Game 1 of the 2022 NLCS remains the longest of his career at a ridiculous 488 feet.

📢 From Ljubljana this week: the UN Human Rights Office joins the @EqualRights Trust and @BerkeleyLaw's Center on Comparative Equality to launch the Equality for All Academic Action Alliance.

The Alliance brings together law faculties, legal clinics, student groups, and research centres to support national efforts in adopting and strengthening anti-discrimination laws, bridging academic expertise with grassroots equality movements.

📃 Applications are welcome on a rolling basis: https://t.co/oJQOaRkQJF (Available in all UN languages)

Developed through global consultations and grounded in our Guide on Developing Comprehensive Anti-Discrimination Law, the Alliance aims to make anti-discrimination law more effective, inclusive, and responsive to communities.

@DouglasEmhoff Real sorry you got the boot. But the only way onto the Holocaust Museum board is to make large political contributions. Maybe you wanted to make this important point before you were appointed?

[Liz Cheney @Liz_Cheney]

Generations of American patriots, from our revolution onward, have fought for the principles Zelenskyy is risking his life to defend. But today, Donald Trump and JD Vance attacked Zelenskyy and pressured him to surrender the freedom of his people to the KGB war criminal who invaded Ukraine. History will remember this day— when an American President and Vice President abandoned all we stand for.

[David Axelrod @davidaxelrod]

I love my country with all my heart and I've never been more embarrassed for America than the spectacle I just witnessed in the Oval Office.
Zelensky is fighting for the survival of his country, his people and their democracy.
Trump and Vance appear to be completely aligned with Putin, the invader whose aim has been to conquer Ukraine.
Zelensky should know that millions and millions of Americans still stand with him and his valiant people.

[John Bolton @AmbJohnBolton]

It is unconscionable to allow Russia to assault Ukraine’s sovereignty, recruit enemies like North Korea to aid in their fight, and then sell out the Ukrainians by conceding the loss of their territory and NATO security guarantees or membership.  By making these and others concessions before negotiations even started, Trump has effectively surrendered to Putin on Ukraine. 1/3

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

This is a five alarm fire.

The people elected Donald Trump to be President - not Elon Musk.

Having an unelected billionaire, with his own foreign debts and motives, raiding US classified information is a grave threat to national security.

This should not be a partisan issue.
