With the Turkey Human Rights Promotion Act, we can send a message to the people of Turkey: we will not rest until you have the rights to which you are entitled. — PolitiTweet.org

The Turkish government also heavily restricts and censors the internet, blocking more than 220,000 websites including Wikipedia – and temporarily including Twitter and YouTube. It is now pressuring Netflix and other online streaming platforms to censor content. — PolitiTweet.org

By the end of 2018, the Government of Turkey had: -Arrested or imprisoned more than 80,000 Turkish citizens -Closed more than 1,500 nongovernmental organizations on terrorism-related grounds -Dismissed or suspended more than 130,000 civil servants from their jobs — PolitiTweet.org

@EnesKanter @RonWyden Erdogan has forcibly closed at least 180 media outlets in the past three years, and was detaining at least 68 journalists and media workers at the end of 2018. — PolitiTweet.org

@EnesKanter Yesterday, Enes joined Senator @RonWyden and I to introduce the Turkey Human Rights Promotion Act to condemn Erdogan’s crackdown on free speech and human rights and support those resisting it.   Brutal leaders like Erdogan need to be called out, not invited in to the White House. — PolitiTweet.org

“It’s bigger than myself, it’s bigger than the NBA, it’s bigger than basketball,” - @EnesKanter   If Trump’s meeting with authoritarian President Erdogan today leaves you needing a reminder of what a real leader looks like, here’s Enes on why he fights for human rights in Turkey: https://t.co/VXHkLPCd4o — PolitiTweet.org

Two weeks after spewing 383,000 gallons of crude oil, TC Energy has turned the Keystone pipeline back on, despite telling me they still don’t know the cause of the spill. This pipeline should not be restarted. Without a #GreenNewDeal, more disasters are coming down the pipeline. https://t.co/mbROuhL1ij — PolitiTweet.org

We need to pass legislation to correct this injustice and ensure vulnerable individuals, who have not been convicted of a crime, can access health care. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

After being arrested, individuals can have their Medicaid coverage terminated while they await trial. This is discriminatory, further penalizes individuals who can’t afford bail, exacerbates mental health issues, and burdens local budgets. https://t.co/EAJ1HxpC7Z — PolitiTweet.org

We pray for the full recovery of the three other brave firefighters who were injured and for all Worcester residents impacted by this fire. We owe it to our selfless first responders to do whatever we can to support @WorcesterFD today and every day. — PolitiTweet.org

Lt. Menard died heroically battling a 4-alarm blaze and helping his fellow firefighters escape. He bravely ran toward the danger and lives were saved. We mourn this tragic loss for @WorcesterFD and the entire community. We will keep Lt. Menard’s family in our hearts. — PolitiTweet.org

No compressor station should be built in Weymouth. The fight to stop this project is not over. I will continue to stand with the residents and activists who have been warriors in the battle to stop a project that is meant only to send natural gas abroad. https://t.co/J0UFHl7QZ9 — PolitiTweet.org

Today’s decision blocking online publication of 3D gun blueprints is a victory for gun safety and the rule of law, and a defeat for Donald Trump, who is afraid to stand up and protect Americans from gun violence. https://t.co/PDnJQdVZNO — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

Today, @RonWyden and I stood with @EnesKanter who tirelessly fights for human rights in Turkey.    Tomorrow, President Trump will stand with President Erdogan in the White House.   It is Enes’ bravery that reflects American values, not Trump’s eagerness to cozy up with dictators. https://t.co/Qs6m0zwTQy — PolitiTweet.org

Congress must pass the #HongKong Human Rights & Democracy Act to support these brave protesters & send a message to Beijing that America will not stand for the Chinese Communist Party attempting to crush this movement for basic rights. #StandWithHongKong https://t.co/7UtL6Uni9t — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

Despite threats from the Turkish gov't, @EnesKanter continues to courageously speak out for human rights. Thank you, Enes, for joining @RonWyden, @PressFreedom & I to introduce a bill to condemn President Erdogan’s authoritarianism. We will always defend your freedom of speech. https://t.co/IQdbVflcgV — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

President Erdogan is conducting one of the biggest campaigns to restrict freedoms anywhere in the world. Honored to have @EnesKanter join me and Sen @RonWyden as we introduce a bill to call attention to the crackdown on human rights in Turkey. WATCH: https://t.co/7BGA7TFHRY — PolitiTweet.org

If President Trump gets the SCOTUS ruling he wants on #DACA, hundreds of thousands of young people could be deported. We can’t let that happen. Dreamers know no other home. The Senate needs to immediately pass the Dream and Promise Act and permanently #ProtectDreamers. — PolitiTweet.org

Fans at Fenway Park should be protected from drones whether they’re watching the Red Sox or their favorite band. I thank @MarshaBlackburn+@SenAlexander for their partnership on the SONG Act that empowers the FAA to protect the skies above all event venues. https://t.co/cnygxTnD6G — PolitiTweet.org

Oil and gas companies are harming consumers and the planet by wasting natural gas when drilling on public lands. The FLARE Act will ban oil companies’ wasteful and hazardous natural gas venting and flaring. https://t.co/Y595IguJnq — PolitiTweet.org

Hun Sen has undermined democracy and rights in Cambodia. Now, he’s blocking opposition Cambodian National Rescue Party leaders from reentering the country on Saturday. They must be allowed to peacefully return. I just introduced a bipartisan resolution so he knows we're watching. https://t.co/SKuxcRH5oU — PolitiTweet.org

We should be doing everything we can to support medical research for Alzheimer’s and related dementias. That’s why I am urging USPS to maintain its Alzheimer’s stamps, the proceeds of which partly fund @NIH Alzheimer’s research. #ENDALZ https://t.co/DNmL3IJLdp — PolitiTweet.org

We can’t allow hundreds of thousands of TPS residents to be at the mercy of Donald Trump’s racist, anti-immigrant agenda. We need a permanent solution. That’s why I’m fighting to pass the SECURE Act, which will provide TPS recipients with a pathway to citizenship. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed Markey @SenMarkey

NEW: President Trump’s political appointees at @StateDept rushed to deport thousands of TPS residents from El Salvador, Honduras and Haiti to avoid public outrage regarding these inhumane deportations from occurring too close to Trump’s re-election campaign in 2020. — PolitiTweet.org

Thank you @IPCC_CH Vice Chair Ko Barrett for joining us at the Senate Climate Task Force. She reported that the oceans have “taken the heat” for our carbon emissions, with devastating consequences for nature and humanity.
