The RSF militia, backed by the United Arab Emirates, has slaughtered countless civilians in Sudan.
The US keeps selling arms to the UAE despite their support for these crimes. And Trump only cares about cutting deals with the Emiratis.
Enough. No more weapons for war crimes.

Forget “Follow your passion.” At the School for Moral Ambition, we say: Follow the Gandalf 🧙
Gandalf didn’t ask Frodo about his passions. He said: “Here’s a world-sized problem. You’re the one to fix it.”
So… which big, solvable, overlooked problem could you be the unlikely hero for?

Every day, settlers attack Palestinian villages. Netanyahu & his extremist allies have one goal: annexation by force. The U.S. has enabled them.

I think we really should stop using antifa and just fully say anti-fascist and get them saying they are against anti fascism. Using antifa is giving them some distance and I genuinely think some of their base don’t even know that’s what it stands for.

The Pope is exactly right.
No society can survive when one man becomes a trillionaire while the vast majority struggle to just survive — trying to put food on the table, pay rent and afford health care.
We can and must do better.
