They were hopeful but warned there was still a long way to go on human rights. Which is why they’d moved to the UAE. “Huh. At least you’re safe,” I said. With millions of fans, he was too high profile to mess with. I looked at Loujain. “And his fame covers both of you, right?”

As the Democrats take control of the House, I’d like my fantastic
@RepAdamSchiff to have Fahad and Loujain in his thoughts. Maybe@Trevornoah can give them some of his attention, too – I know they admired him.Show this thread -

Apparently Loujain’s father’s Twitter was suspended last week after he tweeted about the torture she has suffered in a Saudi government prison. The story below is awful – any comment from

“I’d like to see what they could do in this world, if they were given the chance.” This is the most heartbreaking part of your post. I do hope you have your dinner with them one day.

Reading this reminds me how angry I am w our country, Kirk. Anger isn't right word; disappointed and shamed fit better. I hate this; I feel powerless to help and unsure of who to trust. I'm praying tomorrow begins the battle to take back our country, and that it's not too late!

@krudell "I’d like the government of my country to…" It’s a nice thought. You will never get your wish. Many countries are run by bad people, and unless we’re in a position to kill or depose them all (we’re not) the government of your country must seek the lesser evil. -
In case of the KSA, we align with them (among other reasons) because Iran & Russia are worse. China is our biggest trading partner, and they are not only far worse than KSA, they activitely seek to overthrow US global hegemony. You'll like the world where they succeed even less.

And this is nothing new; if Churchill and FDR hadn't allied with one of the greatest murderers in world history 77 years ago, the Nazis might well have won the war. What may distinguish the US as much as anything from other states is how we express distaste for such things.

Just stay in your lane bud and be grateful you live here. You are way to romantic about this stuff and its a huge liability.

Why should anyone not report your account for not being fake? This is a crazy thing to say

SA is the largest VC donor to our Tech companies. Facebook is one example -just cause they’re in NoCal doesn’t make them liberal or responsible. They are cold blooded capitalists who would sell all our privacy for a buck-don’t just attack the easy targets-BIg Tech is fake liberal

MBS is a dangerous dictator, but the Israeli gov has been committing human rights violations against Palestine for decades. Like SA they are an important ally that we turn a blind eye to, but Hollywood elites would never discuss this for obvious reasons...
