Human rights shouldn’t be a partisan issue, but under our current administration, tragically, it is. So I’m hoping @SenateDems and @HouseDemocrats like @KamalaHarris @SenFeinstein @tedlieu and @MikeLevinCA can join @RepAdamSchiff in this:

I know, I know. We have enough problems here in the US – like the manufactured crisis of the #TrumpShutdown. But our country is big enough to walk and chew gum. We can put our house in order while asking the neighbor why we hear screaming from theirs.

Here’s an informative piece on Fahad and @LoujainHathloul by @tamaraqiblawi:

.@CoryBooker Normally I would have asked the Secretary of State to address this human rights violation, but the United States doesn’t have one right now.

.@SenWarren I might have looked to our UN Ambassador, but we don’t have one of those, either.

Ambassador to Saudi Arabia? Nope.

Because our executive branch currently consists of the world’s dumbest crime family, some racists, and a bunch of temps.

Rather than represent the stated values of our nation, they’re busy... well, not representing those values.

So who will?

Hopefully someone. Soon.

We did nothing for @JKhashoggi. Let’s not be silently complicit for @LoujainHathloul and Fahad.
