Amnesty International today published its annual report, "The State of the World’s Human Rights 2025/26."

In it, the organization paints a very bleak picture of the global human rights situation and holds three heads of state and government primarily responsible for an "unprecedented erosion" of international law and human rights: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Russian President Vladimir Putin, and US President Donald Trump.

[Fred Wellman @FPWellman]

Absolutely disgusting and immoral decision. This is based on racism and bigotry. We owe our allies and this Administration is pursuing an agenda of hate.

[Jessica Tarlov @JessicaTarlov]

Love how Trump keeps threatening Powell and he just keeps telling the truth about the administration’s dismal record.

BREAKING: The Islamic Republic is preparing to hang eight women.

Not a word from the international community or so-called human rights organizations.

[Jon Favreau @jonfavs]

No drugs on the boat and no crimes committed by anyone except the United States government.

Horrific.

[Brian Allen @allenanalysis]

BREAKING: About 120 U.S. military veterans were arrested inside the Cannon House Office Building today protesting Trump's war on Iran.

Some were on crutches. Some were in wheelchairs. Some carried the burial flags of fallen soldiers.

They are members of About Face — veterans who know what war costs because they have already paid for one.

Capitol Police handcuffed disabled veterans and dragged them out of the rotunda.

53% of American voters oppose the war. 74% oppose ground troops. 61% disapprove of Trump's handling of it.

The people who fought America's last wars are now being arrested for trying to stop the next one.

Never stop connecting the dots.

My Congressman Jared Golden showing why just 30% of the district believed he should be reelected— and why he decided to not run.

Good riddance.

[Sabby Sabs @SabbySabs2]

Jared Golden is another puppet of Israel

[Rosa DeLauro @rosadelauro]

ICE has targeted & detained a CT high school student, who entered legally & has no criminal record. His father, Zia, was an interpreter for U.S. troops in Afghanistan.

This is a clear display of ICE's outrageous, misguided priorities & why I’m fighting for total reform.

Vice President J.D. Vance flew to Hungary to endorse Viktor Orban as prime minister in a national election in Hungary. Orban lost. Why did taxpayers pay for this trip? Why was he trying to influence a foreign election? Orban is a close ally with Vladimir Putin.

[RosarySon @SkyVirginSon]

With all due respect to the Office of the President, this post contains several claims that are factually inaccurate and theologically misguided, and as a Catholic I feel compelled to respond.

1. The Pope was not elected to please any president.

Pope Leo XIV was elected by 133 cardinals from across the world in a sacred conclave, on the fourth ballot, on May 8, 2025. 

The Holy Spirit guides the conclave, not American politics.

To suggest that “if I wasn’t in the White House, Leo wouldn’t be in the Vatican”  is not only historically ignorant but theologically offensive to every Catholic on earth.

2. He was not an unknown outsider.

Pope Leo XIV served as Prefect of the Dicastery for Bishops under Pope Francis, one of the most powerful roles in the Vatican, responsible for selecting bishops for dioceses worldwide. 

He was one of the most qualified candidates in the College of Cardinals.

3. He is deeply rooted in service, not politics.

An Augustinian missionary who worked for decades in Peru, Pope Leo XIV dedicated his life to the poor and the Gospel long before any political figure noticed him. 

His name honors Leo XIII, the Pope who championed workers’ rights and the poor during the Industrial Revolution, a tradition of Catholic Social Teaching that predates any modern political party.

4. The Pope’s role is prophetic, not partisan.

When the Pope speaks on peace, nuclear weapons, immigration, or the dignity of nations, he is fulfilling the mission of Christ, not opposing any government.

His first words as Pope were “Peace be with you all,”  echoing the Risen Christ (John 20:19).

A Pope who is silent on injustice would be failing his divine mandate.

5. Demanding a Pope “get in line” with a president contradicts 2,000 years of Church history.

From St. Peter before Nero, to St. Thomas More before Henry VIII, to John Paul II before Soviet communism, the Church has never existed to validate earthly power.

“We must obey God rather than men.” (Acts 5:29)

As Catholics, we pray for all leaders, including President Trump.

But we stand firmly with our Holy Father.

Habemus Papam. And he answers to God alone.

[Joe Walsh @WalshFreedom]

An officer screams, “I will f*cking kill you,” at an unarmed 17-year-old leaving a Minnesota anti-ICE protest after the teen calmly asks why he has to get out of his car. Then the officer falsely claims the teen was “reaching for a gun”.

[Jürgen Nauditt 🇩🇪🇺🇦 @jurgen_nauditt]

Trump has cut billions of US dollars from international humanitarian aid.

Trump has slashed up to one trillion US dollars in government health insurance for the poor, the disabled, children, and the elderly in the US.

Trump has drastically cut education funding, housing assistance for the poor, and nutritional support for pregnant women, mothers, and young children. And so on.

He gives the money to corrupt autocrats like Orbán, who polish Putin's boots every day, just like Trump does.

[Congresswoman Yassamin Ansari @RepYassAnsari]

I just conducted an unprompted, late night oversight visit at an ICE holding facility at the Mesa Gateway Airport with @RepGregStanton and @Rep_Grijalva. What we saw was shocking and sick.

Well over 240 detainees stacked like sardines in cells. People were sick and ICE was refusing medical care.

Here’s what happened.

[LongTime🤓FirstTime👨‍💻 @LongTimeHistory]

ICE detain 2 elementary students—deport them within 48 hours.

'This week ICE crossed a new alarming line," said lawyer. "Children are being targeted."

They were deported with nothing but the clothes on their backs—to place where they have no home, no belongings, nor resources.

6-year-old Denis and 11-year-old Genesis—both students at Burton Magnet Elementary School—were detained with their parents while attending an asylum hearing.

Their phones and documents were taken away before being driven away in unmarked van with dark tinted windows—so they couldn't even wave goodbye to their family.

"If we do everything according to the law we can still get kidnapped in the middle of the day and taken away... What are people supposed to do?"

Incident occurred in Durham, North Carolina.

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

Absurd and inhuman violence is spreading ferociously through the sacred places of the Christian East, profaned by the blasphemy of war and the brutality of business, with no regard for people’s lives, which are considered at most collateral damage of self-interest. But no gain can be worth the life of the weakest, children, or families. No cause can justify the shedding of innocent blood.

[Marci Shore @marci_shore]

I've taught European history for 30 years. Americans have always asked me how the Holocaust was possible, how Germans could have enabled a madman reveling in mass murder to carry out his plans. Now we can see in real time how this is enabled; now we have front-row seats.

[Maria Drutska 🇺🇦 @maria_drutska]

JD Vance accuses Ukrainian intelligence of “interfering” in elections in Hungary and the US.

Meanwhile, a foreign dude - who also happens to be the Vice President of the United States - flies in days before the vote to tell Hungarians how they should vote.

With promises that if Orban wins again, Hungary will get Trump’s support and everything will be just fine.

Interference? Never heard of it.

[Ben Rhodes @brhodes]

In the best case scenario, Trump struck a deal to reopen a Strait that was open before the pointless war he started, with the IRGC demonstrating its control over the Strait and potentially extracting fees plus sanctions relief. Thousands of innocents - including hundreds of children - dead in Lebanon and Iran for no reason. U.S. troops killed and wounded. U.S. embassies and bases in the Middle East badly damaged. U.S. standing in the world obliterated. U.S. munitions badly depleted. Hundreds of billions spent. Prices up everywhere. More global economic fallout to come. Putin strengthened and enriched. Just a catastrophic situation even in the best of circumstances. A profoundly shameful episode in American history no matter what happens next.
