Today the administration rescinded $27.4 billion including $16.6 billion in State Department and USAID funding pursuant to the Impoundment Control Act. I don’t understand all the details but smells like scorched Earth exit. Views?

@NEDemocracy began supporting Ukrainian civil society in 1988. Ukraine remains among our top five largest programs in the world. And this is because Ukraine today is on the frontline of freedom. We will not waiver in standing in solidarity with you, the Ukrainian people.

We cannot allow Georgia & Ukraine, captive nations in the 20th century, to become hostage nations in the 21st century. Rather, we should recognize that they stand on the frontline of freedom and anchor them within our NATO alliance to ensure a durable peace in Europe’s East.

“Today in Kherson, at gunpoint of the Russian military, we showed that Kherson is Ukraine,” said the brave Ukrainian who took this footage. #StandWithUkraine

At #Kalinowski conference , I argue that the only durable peace in Europe is one in which NATO welcomes Ukraine as an ally. Ukrainians are paying with their lives to join the family of free nations and need security guarantees to prevent any attacks and atrocities.

As a student, I organized blood drives at my high school. As a gay married man, I’m banned from donating. As science and society evolve, it’s time to base donations on individual risk assessment as many countries do rather than bans based on sexual orientation.

Awesome to see @Bakari_Sellers giving keynote at Orangeburg Massacre commemoration, where his father was shot in SC 50 years ago. This is the kind of healing that makes our nation great.

Orangeburg Massacre survivors fight for remembrance of bloodiest civil rights event in S.C. history

Some fear the Orangeburg Massacre, an era-defining moment of the 1960s, did not pierce the collective conscious of America but 50 years later, some fear it's fading from memory.

Georgia’s vibrant, creative and effective civil society is the engine behind Georgia’s Euro-Atlantic integration. @NEDemocracy is proud to support their efforts to deepen democracy, engage youth in civic life and advance reforms. Great meeting so many partners in Georgia.

Russian occupation forces routinely detain Georgians on their own territory as they did today — not to mention their invasions of Georgia and now Ukraine. Yet today Georgian leadership attacks Georgia’s closest allies as the party of war and a threat to Georgia.

As the situation in Afghanistan deteriorates, @NEDemocracy is doubling down on its support for Afghan civil society. We cannot abandon those who have stood up for their rights and freedoms. Now is time for solidarity, not deference to despots.
