Coming up on @philtalkradio: What should we make of self-appointed spokespeople? Josh & Ray don't speak for @wendysalkin from Stanford, author of "Speaking for Others: The Ethics of Informal Political Representation." 🎧 Sunday 11a @KALW 91.7 FM in SF & kalw.org/show/philosoph….

What better way to mark #InternationalWomensDay than to check out one (or more!) of the 16 extraordinary thinkers in @philtalkradio's "Wise Women" series: philosophytalk.org/wisewomen @KALW @NEHgov #WomensHistoryMonth

What do women’s lives look like under genocide? A new B’Tselem report presents data and testimonies from women in Gaza, revealing a brutal, ongoing struggle for survival. Today, Sunday, 8 March, International Women’s Day, listen to the voices of women in Gaza, bearing witness from a continuous hell: Since October 2023, Israel has killed more than 12,500 women in Gaza, including over 9,000 mothers, leaving 21,193 widows. Life in tents has morphed from a temporary solution into a permanent state – thin fabric walls that offer no protection or privacy. Without a room of their own, women sleep fully clothed and with their head coverings on, even in extreme heat. The simplest everyday tasks, such as washing, changing clothes, breastfeeding, or managing menstruation (now without hygiene products) have become degrading, near-impossible undertakings in exposed public spaces. The burden on Gaza’s women is beyond comprehension. As Ikhlas al-Kafarneh told us in her testimony: “I can’t even cry in front of my children, because then I’d fall apart. I so much want to be alone, even for one day, to be just with myself in a distant place where I can scream at the top of my lungs and cry over this terrible life that has been forced on me.” Even after the so-called ceasefire of October 2025, the genocide still goes on. The killing continues, and the inhuman living conditions erase the privacy, health, and basic dignity of every woman and girl in Gaza.

For International Women's Day: Mary Shelley and the many versions of her monster from her book, Frankenstein, creating science fiction as we know it in the modern era. #Frankenstein #InternationalWomensDay #womenshistorymonth2026 #Frankenstein2025

This was #InternationalWomensDay in Tehran in 1979. I can't think of a better way to mark that day at this terrible time. #Iran

1️⃣ Justice for women and girls cannot exist only on paper. As the world reflects on #InternationalWomensDay, the real test of global human-rights commitments is whether survivors of wartime sexual violence can access justice. #JusticeForTigray @UN_Women @unwomenafrica @UN_HRC

@OnlyTruthHmm @TheRealThelmaJ1 Thanks, got it. Funny how the Post seemed to be the only source. Several other news services only ran with the post piece. By the way the name Tova in Hebrew means "good". Ironic, that.

@LeeDB1956 @TheRealThelmaJ1 Search “Tova Noel”

Well, at least Epstein is alive to see the war he started with Iran

@violet7489 @MaryLTrump You really should loosen your undergarments. Adios.😁👋🏼

We are in a war of Donald's choosing. Scores of Iranian children are dead; six American service members are dead. The depraved man responsible for those deaths went on a tangent about his gold curtains and his $400 million ballroom because those are his priorities.

Do you agree?

@Resisting313392 Not just The Walking Toxic Dump, his entire cabinet must be gone too.

"Iran is gearing up for a long war of attrition against Israel and the US. There are no more red lines for Tehran - just a slow, calculated strategy to exploit the blind spots of Washington and its allies" ✍️ Opinion by Marco Carnelos middleeasteye.pulse.ly/jn4dwuvkq9

✈️ As the conflict in the Middle East rages on, the efforts to repatriate EU citizens currently stranded in the region continues. Commercial flights have been postponed across the region, and the few tickets that are available cost a lot of money ⤵️

🇱🇧 In southern #Lebanon, the Christian village of #Marjayoun is one of several that have decided to defy #Israel's evacuation orders. Caroline Baum takes a look at those who remain in the village and the latest strikes in the area.

Even Arlington, Texas sees through Trump.👏

@BrittanyinTexas Greetings and solidarity from NorCal.✊🏼

@Megan_Jo_ @ChrisDJackson And both are Israel supporters and AIPAC money recipients. 🖕🏼

@ChrisDJackson Bro, he was gonna lose, so Dems installed Harris thinking she had a chance 😂😂😂 Yeah…. He wasn’t getting a second term

Joe Biden should be in year six of his presidency right now. Instead, Democrats let the media bully them into dumping their own sitting president over a manufactured health panic. Today he’s still standing. Still fighting. Still the same Joe Biden we have all known and loved for decades. History will not be kind to the summer of 2024 or those who stabbed him in the back and helped propel this nation into utter destruction.

@LucifersTweetz And now... a plummer with Associate degree is Secretary of DHS.

@gspelletier23 @LucifersTweetz Which somehow brings to mind a certain bunch of Watergate "plumbers"......

We live in a country where an alcoholic from Fox News runs our military, a former heroin addict is in charge of our health, and they both report to a convicted felon. What a time to be alive.
