A sad irony in Washington, D.C., where West Virginia National Guardsmen were shot today. Six days ago, a court ruled their deployment was illegal, but stayed the order pending appeal. My heart goes out to these public servants and their families. oag.dc.gov/sites/defaul...

Praying that they both pull through. ❤️🩹🤍
These National Guard members didn't choose to be deployed to DC, where they were made to be part of an unnecessary, costly political stunt. They should be celebrating Thanksgiving with their families, not hanging onto their lives in hospital beds.

Absolutely insane news from Egypt, where award-winning human rights lawyer Mohamed el-Baqer has had his terrorism designation renewed for another five years.
Mohamed was pardoned by Sisi in July 2023 after being prosecuted and after serving jail time for his work as a lawyer.

It's been 14 years since Egypt's riot police and security forces brutally attacked a sit-in leading to clashes that would last days, intentionally shot at protesters' eyes, and used teargas without limit.
