Another round of NDAA = another opportunity to advocate with @EvacOurAllies for the #AfghanAdjustment. We must honor our promises to those who supported the US mission in AFG - anything else is a moral failure and ignores the US history of supporting wartime allies. #AfghanAllies

Conflict + climate change: "Gaza’s aquifer, from which the population draws for drinking water and other uses, is already becoming saltier with a rise in the sea level" We should all be concerned about the plan to flood tunnels. https://t.co/1Hl5DcnFh1

The Solidarity Speaks series continues this week with Ahmed Helou of @cfpeace. This emergency webinar series provides the perspective of Palestinians and Israelis calling for an immediate ceasefire, an end to collective punishment, and discussing the impact of recent events.

🚨Big news! Texas loses its fight to keep the buoys in place in the Rio Grande. A federal judge grants the DOJ's request for an injunction and orders Texas to remove the 1,000 feet of buoy barrier in place across from Eagle Pass by September 15.

@SpeakSamuel And the only reason this is top of mind for me is we now live in the district and it was posted online within the last few days.

[Kristen N. Allen @KristenNAllen]

@SpeakSamuel Olathe. Did you see PHSHS ranks # 12 in MO now? Don’t you think tax dollars support a district with such a good reputation and performance?

[Kristen N. Allen @KristenNAllen]

I don’t think the feeling of shame and disgust for what America did when it left Afghanistan will ever leave me. This is one reason I advocate for the passage of the #AfghanAdjustmentAct.

[Kristen N. Allen @KristenNAllen]

A very interesting report showing the incredible impact Afghan parolees can make in the US if they are provided a pathway to adjustment of status by the #AAA. It also saves the US government $. Advocates continue to show Congress many reasons why this needs needs to pass.

[Upwardly Global @UpwardlyGlobal]

The Afghan Adjustment Act is not just the most humane solution for Afghan refugees living in the U.S. It's also the most affordable. #ISupportAAA

Read how adjustments with the AAA can save the USCIS money in the long run here: https://t.co/FgcOCRAlUI

“we need the intl community’s help to protect our most basic human right – the right to life. That right…includes access to adequate amounts of the safe and healthy food that we need to live.” @md_yasiein in @newhumanitarian - we fail the Rohingya again- https://t.co/VGaSKK3Cp5

Three years to the day and this poem still resonates after the shooting in Jacksonville by another white man carrying an AR-15 and the mantle of white supremacy.

Evacuated
Now they need a solution
Afghan Adjustment Act

My contribution to the @Afghan_American #AAAhaiku trend. Congress - it’s time to get it done! #AAA

🕯️thinking of the Rohingya who will today spend time commemorating the genocide that occurred six years ago and continue to face an uncertain future without justice.

[Abdullah @Abdulla_AH7]
