This is huge: @CARICOMorg statement on Haiti refuses to include support for military intervention, and says the government's unconstitutional 12/21 Accord (supported by @StateDept @UNHaiti ) "needed to be more inclusive." #AdvocacyWorks 1/3 https://t.co/v9scbKWrpp.

@matthewmercer I know this isn't where you were going with this, but the Critical Role theme song NEVER fails to soothe and calm down my 16 month old son. And he loves watching the art montage with accompanying music at the beginning of each episode.

@HealthLawAdamH @ijdh @BeaLindstrom @HaitiJustice @smerope @BuddhistLawyer @BetseyChace @katenancytaylor Looking forward to reading this when I have a child-free hour or so! I'm sure it will be excellent.

Think social distancing is unnecessary and the reaction to #COVID-19 is overblown? Think again. It's not about you, it's about protecting our most vulnerable and not overwhelming our medical facilities. Do your part.

ABSOLUTE MUST READ on #HAITI!!! @sirronsanders, Antigua/Barbuda Ambassador to @OAS_official and US, explains how @USAmbOAS led "unmandated OAS delegation" to Haiti that "ignored established procedures" to promote "an external agenda."

[Don’t Boo…Revolt! @BreeNewsome]

Forcing people to have children while opposing policies that ensure access to healthcare, education, housing & nutrition has nothing to do w/ the sanctity of life & everything to do with stripping individuals of bodily autonomy as part of maintaining an oppressed underclass.

"To focus on the impact of 'violent' protests on a few Americans and Canadians in Haiti is to obscure the structural violence that U.S. policies have levied on Haiti throughout its history." https://t.co/CitGHQMmxS

“These are blatant examples of U.S. hypocrisy and disdain for Haitians’ human rights, sovereignty and the rule of law" @BeaLindstrom on American mercenaries arrested in Haiti and illegally released without charges in the US.
