Boston Mayor Michelle Wu at the House hearing on sanctuary cities: "If you wanted to make us safe, pass gun reforms. Stop cutting Medicaid. Stop cutting cancer research. Stop cutting funds for veterans. That is what will make our cities safe." Mic drop! 🎤

We must cease deportation flights to Haiti IMMEDIATELY. Returning people to such dire conditions is unconscionable and a violation of human rights #StopHaitianDeportations

Today marks 14 years since the 2010 earthquake in Haiti and the situation on the ground is as bad as ever. It's not random or bad luck. It's the result of specific and often disparate policies pursued by foreign powers. Not a failed state, an aid state. Nou p ap janm bliye.

IMPORTANT Thread, demonstrating that under-resourced, inexperienced judiciaries can make the justice system work if there is political will. Also a sad reminder of what Haiti has lost in last 20 years.

On the 23rd anniversary of the Raboteau Massacre Trial, we remember the victims and commemorate the successful prosecution of one of #Haiti’s most violent state-perpetrated massacres.

A lot of references to the "calls from the Haitian government" for the deployment of the just-authorized security force. What government?

Haitian-American elected officials @nhaeon and @FANMOrg write @SecBlinken and @JoeBiden "to strongly oppose @POTUS Administration’s proposed international military intervention in Haiti." The leaders list many good reasons. 1/6 #stoptheprop ijdh.org/open_letters/n…

"...opposition neighborhoods, and their constant attacks have contributed significantly to widespread and politically motivated gang violence that constitutes crimes against humanity." There is more in the letter, but why isn't this enough for @StateDept to #stopteprop ? 5/5

3. "#PHTK governments did not run a fair or timely election." 4. "created a prevalent culture of corruption that deprives the government of the necessary funds to support the Haiti National Police and provide basic governmental services to the Haitian population" 3/5

Their list of reasons for this request is stunning. The government in Haiti: 1. "has been ineffective and inept in governing and providing basic security" 2. "has dismantled Haiti’s democratic structures while facilitating & conceding control of the country to gang leaders" 2/5

The National Haitian-American Elected Officials Network @nhaeon and @FANMOrg implored @POTUS @JoeBiden @SecBlinken to cease "to prop up the corrupt government" in Haiti, "and allow the emergence of a consensus transitional government" #stoptheprop 1/5 ijdh.org/open_letters/n…

The Haitian public officials in question are there because they are propped up by the @StateDept @POTUS . 2/2 #StopTheProp ijdh.org/press_release/…
