He: "As long as we get vaccinated here, it's good. If it takes a few extra years to vaccinate the developing world, too bad.”
Me: “The longer the virus spreads, the greater chance for a mutation to emerge that’s more deadly & to which the vaccine you had offers no protection.”

In a democracy, the public should be able to debate public matters without fear of retaliation. In Brazil, the @jairbolsonaro gov uses a dictatorship-era law to silence critics of its disastrous #covid19 policies. YouTuber @felipeneto is the latest case. https://t.co/JMNQriUe9b https://t.co/E8CbOhS3Ys

A bad day is no excuse for murdering 8 people. The mass shooting in Atlanta is a prime example of how racism and misogyny kill. Stop excusing this murderous act and hold the shooter to account! https://t.co/kPdb7GexjS #StopAsianHate #StopAAPIHate @hrw pic.twitter.com/66SOblNAWP

New: Eminent experts find UN's "list of shame" for violations against children in war "seriously undermined" by alarming omissions and discrepancies. They call on @antonioguterres to list all perpetrators, without exception.

In #Jordan, if you can't pay back a loan, you go to jail. In 4 years, no. of ppl wanted for failure to repay increased from ~4000 to 40,000.
New @hrw report finds this practice violates human rights & is among the *least* effective ways to recoup debts. https://t.co/arxMObMcEP pic.twitter.com/2bXYdZTeSU— Sara Kayyali (@skayyali1) March 16, 2021
