This #HumanRightsDay, I call for urgent action to protect #OurRightsOurFuture - right now. Human rights are not just ideals for some - they are justice for all. They are the foundation of our shared existence & the measure of our humanity. Protecting them is protecting ourselves.

I voted by mail – it was easy and a great excuse to say hi to some neighbors. If you're voting by mail like me, get your ballot in the mail right away. No matter how you vote, make sure you have a plan and get it done: IWillVote.com/Obama

Absolutely right from @DavidLammy - a mafia state built on corruption cannot be allowed to repeatedly undermine the rule of law and the UN Charter with impunity.

Honoured to speak with @vkaramurza following his release from a Russian penal colony.
Imprisoned for speaking the truth, Vladimir's courage, and that of his family, in the face of such overwhelming hardship is truly an inspiration to us all.

On this joyous day for the families of those who regained their freedom from Putin's Russia, & for me personally, as 3 of those released are friends, please also remember Marc Fogel, a great American & fantastic teacher who remains unjustly imprisoned in Russia. 1/ THREAD

Thanks to the skill and persistence of @POTUS, @VP, and our allies, Paul Whelan, Evan Gershkovich, Alsu Kurmasheva, and Vladimir Kara-Murza are being released from Russian custody. It’s a tremendous diplomatic achievement, and we’re grateful that they’ll be back home with their families where they belong.

Upsetting news but not entirely unexpected. @vkaramurza's health has been poor for a while. The Kremlin must allow his transfer to a proper hospital. And while I'm at it: @JakeSullivan46, why hasn't the U.S declared him wrongfully detained?

.@UnderSecStateP (Toria Nuland) is stepping down. She has been a powerhouse in US foreign policy for many years, fierce in her devotion to America’s higher purposes and indifferent to partisanship. Proud to call her friend. state.gov/on-the-retirement-…

Thank you to @washingtonpost for running full-page ad today linking to major statement from leaders on the urgency for @potus to do more to free imprisoned Russian activist @vkaramurza #FreeKaraMurza – at Manhattan, NY
ALT “As we all mourn the loss of Russian democratic opposition leader Alexey Navalny, who died in Russian custody on February 16, 2024, while unjustly incarcerated, we request that you accelerate your efforts to release imprisoned Russian prodemocracy advocate Vladimir Kara-Murza.” From a joint statement steered by @freedomhouse to the Biden administration, signed by over 70 signatories.
Thanks @freedomhouse for organizing.
#FreeKaraMurza!
We urge @POTUS to take immediate action to #FreeKaraMurza!
Vladimir’s life is in danger every second he remains behind bars in Russia.
That’s why we’re joining @McFaul, @TimothyDSnyder, @BillBrowder, @DamonMacWilson, & 50+ others to demand his release.
