based on my experience advocating for #humanrights, i can concur that there has been no follow through.

time to hold congress accountable

@naefool likewise!

in my humble, but considerable, opinion we ought to focus on a mass education campaign around the theory behind equal rights for all

Einstein and Freud exchanged letters making it clear that a lack of equal rights and the lack of an effective international court for conflict resolution were the key causes of war

the fight to educate others about human rights is the fight against war

#RatifyICESCR #UNUDHR

@PattyHanson ohh no, care to learn more? click _here_ lol

so, #UNUDHR is “United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights”

#RatifyICESCR is “Ratify the International Covenant on Economic, Social, and Cultural Rights”

ICESCR is a treaty that would require us to write domestic laws that enshrine a dozen or so of UNUDHR human rights. Think: clean water, food, shelter, clothing, medical care, etc. are a right for everyone, in accordance with what a country can afford, w/ international help.

@PattyHanson the best weapon that we have to fight the fascists and the far-right (and far-left, for that matter) is to #RatifyICESCR and live the #UNUDHR

> pretending that votes don’t matter sounds like surrender
> It matters whether full-on fascists gain ground

how about you #VoteBlue types go Blue MAGA us up some #RatifyICESCR instead of wasting everyone’s time complaining about Trump?

anything less is a half measure and no longer worth serious consideration
