Dear @thejointstaff: The UCMJ and federal law prohibit war crimes. Striking civilian infrastructure that causes disproportionate civilian harm constitutes war crimes. You will disobey those illegal orders. If you commit war crimes, the next Administration will prosecute you.

#WomenLEAD in action! @NDI, @FreedomHouse, and @PirthOrg are thrilled to announce #SWIFT, a new rapid response mechanism funded by @stateGWI, built for women in politics and public life who face #TFGBV and other online harms. #UNGA79

Delighted to be joining the Forum on Internet Freedom in Africa 2024 (FIFAfrica24) on Friday, 9/27 to speak about efforts to end #tfgbv in partnership with @NDI, @freedomhouse & @pollicy. Register here: whova.com/portal/registr… #FIFAfrica24 #InternetFreedomAfrica

Very proud, and very excited, to do this necessary work in partnership with so many incredible women-led teams and organizations. cc @moira @NDIWomen @freedomhouse @PirthOrg @StateGWI (and, of course, there will always be much 🤍 here for @SandraPepera)

pirth.org has officially launched! Huge thanks to our wonderful speakers, partners, and community members who joined us. We are grateful for the positive energy that this weekend generated. We have much in store, so be sure to follow for important updates + more.

The President doesn't get credit for being "privately enraged" when he still refuses to use leverage to stop the IDF from killing and starving innocent people. These stories only make him look weak. politico.com/news/2024/04/0…

This statement is the best example of American leadership thus far: clear, fair, unequivocal, strongly standing for the human rights of all.

It’s truly difficult to think of another recent episode in which mainstream news outlets so blatantly lied and misled readers. You can draw your own conclusions as to why Dina, Ali Vaez, and others were considered fair game for this clumsy smear job.

Thank you, @amydahm, for your strength in speaking up about this. Amy is 1000% right. A history of sexual harassment is disqualifying, full stop — and should be considered as such in the ambassador nom process. I hope the @WhiteHouse and Senate take note + adjust accordingly.

@Oren_Jacobson 👏👏👏

A society that tolerates laws passed by men to control the bodies & reproductive decisions of women inherently normalizes the basic idea that women are objects to be controlled, not equal beings worthy of the basic human right to freedom. By virtue of societies objectifying women & using the power of the state to control them, we teach boys that it’s ok to use their power to do the same on the personal level. This is the unbroken chain of violence against women. Every abusive man who physically or psychologically attacks a woman is manifesting at the personal level that which we tolerate at the societal level. In other words, abortion bans are inherently linked to violence against women. And abortion bans are, in and of themselves, an act of state sanctioned violence against all who can get pregnant.

@cmclymer Capturing this was a true act of public service by @BahmanKalbasi 👀

The absolutely withering side eye from Lady Gaga toward Caitlyn Jenner. Merciful lord. 😭😭😭

Was wonderful to be in conversation w/ this stellar panel of leaders @nubiancounsel, @ghcorps CEO Heather Anderson & Dr Tanya Jones, expertly led by @aspeninnovators Lola Adedokun. Thanks to @AspenInstitute + @ghcorps for bringing us together, and to the audience for a great Q&A!

"Beliefs and behaviors need to be addressed in order to create change." @sherryhakimi speaking about the ethos that led her to found @genEqualityOrg

“Leadership is lonely. When you’re trying to build something from the ground up, it’s hard when you don’t have any peers. In those moments, building community with other leaders offered an outlet for collaboration.” -@sherryhakimi on the importance of network building

"There's a difference between leadership and authority. I would encourage each person to think of themselves as a leader and wield that influence to lead change." -@sherryhakimi A word 🙌👏

"Being adaptable to challenges and changes in trends." -@sherryhakimi

@GabSierraWrites @adollshousebway @hudsonbway Totally, 100%. Its (unfortunate) continued relevance is conveyed clearly through brilliant writing and a brilliant cast. (cc: @ArianMoayed)

It’s truly wild to think that A Dolls House was first performed in 1879 and can still feel so modern and shocking. Fabulous cast, fabulous play thank you for a lovely Ibsen afternoon @adollshousebway @hudsonbway

Executives have been boasting about the unprecedented “constructive pricing environment” and “strong pricing power” on earnings calls since Q1 of 2022. It’s not inflation. It’s plain old corporate greed.

@cmclymer @JimmyGomezCA I’m not sure I could love this more ❤️ Thanks for sharing, Charlotte.

I’m at the White House celebration of 13 years of the Affordable Care Act. Hodge, the infant son of Congressman @JimmyGomezCA and Mary Hodge, was crying a bit as babies do. Rep. Gomez tried to politely leave the room. President Biden encouraged him to stay. More of this. 💜

Jill and I – along with Kamala and Doug – are honored to host a new national tradition: the first Nowruz reception of this scale ever to be held at the White House.
