This morning in Biddeford, Maine, a 26-year-old man said goodbye to his wife and daughter and left for work. Moments later he was dead, shot in the head by ICE agents, the second man ICE has killed in six days. ICE is killing our neighbors. ICE cannot be reformed. Abolish ICE.

Find us if you'll be at the IMRF this week! We're advocating for those on the move affected by slow-onset & sudden-onset disasters, climate change, and environmental degradation—a critical need, amidst many, that must not be forgotten in this Progress Declaration of the Global Compact for Migration.

The United States government has just quietly terminated its program to support international students whose home countries are in crisis such as war. This program rightly had bipartisan support. It was a humane way to protect the best & brightest kids who are investing their future in America.

“Fleeing the earlier Darfur genocide 25 years ago, I never thought I would be sitting in front of you speaking about another genocide.” Niemat Ahmadi, Founder of Darfur Women Action Group, shares personal testimony on Capitol Hill. She calls for action and accountability for the genocide in Sudan.

I'm glad this conversation is being had, but I am flabbergasted (or maybe shocked but not surprised) every time I read an AI piece that doesn't mention its impacts on climate change and the environment (e.g., energy and water usage, pollution). Those are also part of a just society and ethical use.
