Yep…

We are not being asked to send American troops into war, only to help the Ukrainians defend themselves. If we fail to help Ukraine, Putin will invade a NATO nation. Ukraine is not the end, it is a step—and letting Putin have his way with Europe would jeopardize our security.

This is the sad state that things have reached in South Sudan. People are tired of Kiir’s incompetence and corruption!

What happened today is a horrific disgrace Wani Michael 🇸🇸 Peter Biar Ajak South Sudan Government UNSouthSudan this what we fought against

A demonstration of integrity that has become extremely rare in politics.

I stand in solidarity with our wounded heroes! Let all our people stand with them! Come out in large numbers!

South Sudan’s dictatorship sent a death squad after Peter Biar Ajak for advocating for peace and democracy. He’s put his life on the line for freedom. He knows the stakes firsthand. That’s why we’re honored to be bringing Peter on as a senior fellow.

As a champion of democracy, what happens in the United States is watched carefully around the world, including by authoritarian regimes. When the U.S. fails to live by the values of democracy, it not only undermines the work of pro-democracy activists, but it emboldens dictators.

Excited to join RDI as a Senior Fellow!

Alexei Navalny reported dead in a Putin prison. Isaiah 5:20–“Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!”

The killing of Alexei Navalny in Russian prison is shocking and shows the extreme brutality of Putin’s regime and his associates around the world. Navalny was a man of unparalleled courage, who sacrificed himself for freedom of Russian people. His family deserves justice. 🥲

For Americans, another lesson to take from Alexei #Navalny's tragic death is to not "elect" a leader who is contemptuous of the rule of law and has a lengthy record of past criminal behavior.

Aleksey Navalny's courage will never be forgotten. This tragedy – further proof of Putin's brutality – reminds us of the stakes of this moment. Failure to support Ukraine against his vicious onslaught will never be forgotten.

Luol Deng deserves four more years! His leadership over SSBF has been exceptional! To four more years!

Powerful and heartbreaking. He is too good a man to add "Fuck the Republicans and fuck Biden," so I'll do it. The pro-Putin MAGA GOP is simply performing as instructed, but Biden has no excuses left.
