My colleagues and I are devastated: we have lost one of our own in #Gaza today.
Our young @WHOoPt colleague Dima Alhaj was tragically killed alongside her 6 month old baby, her husband and 2 brothers. Reportedly multiple other family members sheltering in the same house were also killed.
I have no words to describe our grief.
This loss comes on top of other losses in the @UN family since 7 October: 108 @UNRWA colleagues have been killed.
This horror must end.
All humanitarians and civilians must be protected.
Ceasefire. NOW.
Shocked by the Judgement!!!
We sincerely hope for a fair and unbiased investigation into the allegations made against Shri @ncbn garu, and that all due courtesy is extended to him during his 14 day Judicial Custody.
Confident that truth will prevail and he will come out unscathed & stronger. #WeStandWithCBN
The measure of a true leader is when people take their reforms to be so natural that development takes center-stage rather than their personality. @ncbn sir, your work speaks for itself. By building robust institutions, long-lasting growth engines in AP & Telangana, and (1/2)
After 15 yrs of tireless effort from you, S.386 has finally passed the Senate, Tremendous thanks to @SenMikeLee, our champion. Thank you @SenRickScott and @SenatorDurbin for releasing your hold. Thanks to @SenTomCotton @SenKamalaHarris @SenKevinCramer and all our champions!
We passed the Fairness for High-Skilled Immigrants Act!
Tonight I got to preside over the Senate as we passed our bipartisan bill by unanimous consent.
When Disney and Carnival Cruise line OUTSOURCED high-paying Florida tech jobs, @SenRickScott did nothing. Utah @SenMikeLee’s bill S. 386 fixes this. Only one senator is blocking it. @SenRickScott
Ask Rick Scott to UNBLOCK S. 386. Call him now! 202-224-5274
Hola Sen. Rick Scott, Skill doesn't require Cantonese! We are just asking for fairness and equality. Stop pointless blocks, Stop discrimination.

Thank you @crampell for looking into this important issue. Hope you get some answers from @SenRickScott . We haven’t. The number of his DC office is 202-224-5274 . Please ask him why he is holding S.386, The Fairness for High-Skilled Immigrants Act.
Racist @SenatorDurbin hit a new low. Using an Indian Doctor’s picture, whose family he alone is torturing by blocking #S386 to push a bill that will only give equal treatment under the law to doctors? In 1965 Durbin would have desegregated society only for black Doctors! Shame!!
None of these tricks - separate bill for doctors or kids only to undermine or kill S.386 - is going to convince anyone that you are not racist. Obvious you are trying every way you can think of to minimize the number of Indian immigrants with equal rights in the US. Who hurt you?
Thank you so much @immivoice for all the love on my last story.
I learned so much about immigration while at the Freedom March and hope I opened up the conversation on families struggling to navigate the U.S visa system.
Thanks again for all the support on my story on the Freedom March organized by
@immivoice
The march was held on Independence Day and highlights immigrants fighting to navigate the U.S Visa System.
I am still awaiting a response from Senator Dick Durbin.
On a day where most people are celebrating the country's Independence, many immigrants here in Springfield are simply asking for citizenship.

On the streets of #Springfield & all over the land of #Lincoln, yard signs like these will be popping up, to educate people that @SenatorDurbin is nothing but a racist & a bigot.
100’s of people in Cars peacefully protesting the bigoted & hateful policies of the #Racist from Illinois @SenatorDurbin.
Many more protests coming across the country in the coming weeks & months.
