Not here much, but when I am, it’s for news and humor. Views mine.

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.

WATCH: I asked Trump whether any civilian targets are off limits in Iran. He responded with his strongest threats yet. Trump told me "very little is off limit" and said he has a military plan where "every bridge in Iran will be decimated by 12 o'clock tomorrow night, where every power plant in Iran will be out of business, burning, exploding, and never to be used again" if his deadline is not met. @politico

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…

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.
Dina Esfandiary@DEsfandiary

I’m dismayed and disappointed by the mischaracterisations, falsehoods and character assassination campaign targeting me and colleagues. I’m also dismayed that subsequent outlets chose to run the story without seeking our views or ignoring them. Here are a few facts - 🧵:

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.
Amy Dahm@amydahm

Here is my opinion piece calling for sexual harassment to disqualify ambassadorial nominees. Mark Libby, ambassadorial nominee to Azerbaijan, sexually harassed me when I was his subordinate at the U.S. State Department. @amydahm_14529/2f4dd5ac088a" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">medium.com/@amydahm_14529

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.

“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

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.
More Perfect Union@MorePerfectUS

General Mills—maker of Cheerios, Yoplait, Nature Valley, etc—said today that they're making huge profits by raising prices on consumers. Their quarterly profits have increased 20% year-over-year. All the growth came from price hikes. Corporate profits are driving inflation.

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. 💜
