The government *still* isn’t tracking how often immigration agents detain U.S. citizens. We are. 500+ Americans have been handcuffed, held at gunpoint or held against their will in Trump’s second term. Our tally is almost certainly an undercount. THREAD ⬇️

Sudan has endured more than three years of war, and millions of people are carrying consequences they did not choose. Behind every number is a life. A child uprooted. A family grieving. A community trying to survive hunger, displacement, and violence. There is nothing weak about choosing dialogue when the alternative is more death. Leaders and the international community must pursue an end to the fighting, protect civilians, ensure humanitarian aid reaches those in need, and make room for a just and lasting peace. We cannot become numb to suffering because it is far from us or because a war has lasted too long. Sudanese lives matter. Human dignity demands our attention. #Sudan #Peace #HumanDignity #Nonviolence365 #BelovedCommunity
