At my desk, I’m writing about women who are transforming humanitarian aid from the ground up - redefining what leadership, care, and agency look like in Somalia and across the diaspora. #WomenHumanitarians #SomaliWomen #ResearchInAction #EvidenceForImpact #LocalizationInAction

In case anyone isn’t aware, Trump is demanding Zambia to hand over its mineral rights by end of day tomorrow or the U.S. gov’t will cut off the country’s access to the AIDS medications that are literally keeping its citizens alive. Just thought y’all should know.

Here are the terms for surrender: If Iran is listening, this should be the response to Donald Trump’s demand for “complete surrender.” A real ceasefire requires: 1. Full U.S. military withdrawal from the Persian Gulf region. 2. Immediate and total Israeli withdrawal from Gaza. 3. Complete Israeli withdrawal from South Lebanon. 4. Israeli withdrawal from any Syrian territories occupied after the fall of the Assad regime. 5. The lifting of sanctions on Iran and reparations for the damage caused by this illegal war. 6. An end to the siege of Gaza and the beginning of its immediate reconstruction without conditions. 7. Reconstruction of Lebanon after Israeli destruction. 8. Accountability for war crimes under international law and the handing over of Netanyahu and other war criminals to the ICC. P.S. To the American people and Congress: Time for regime change at home. Impeach Trump. Finally, for the Muslim World: The real divide in the Muslim world today is not Sunni vs. Shi‘i. It is Zionist vs. anti-Zionist.

Trump killed all the kids in this video.

#Somalia: In Arfoda, Anab Siyad is watching her goats disappear. “Before the drought, I had 100+ goats; now only 30 remain. The rest died from lack of water& pasture. If the drought continues, I may lose them all.” Pastoral families urgently need support. #DroughtCrisis

#Somalia“We lost our livestock to the #drought. We had no money for transport, so we used a donkey cart. It took five days.” Rahma, a mother of 4, just arrived at Kabasa camp in Dollow. Her family is exhausted and needs urgent support. Urgent aid is needed.

The power of headlines to shape interpretation, emotion, and judgment is far stronger than most people realize. #framingmatters

🇮🇷🇧🇫 A young Ayatollah Khamenei sitting with Thomas Sankara. Two men from opposite ends of the world. One a Shia cleric from Iran. The other a Marxist soldier from Burkina Faso. Both shared one conviction: their people would never be free under Western domination. Sankara was assassinated in 1987, overthrown in a French-backed coup at the age of 37. He wanted to free Africa from debt, dependency, and foreign control. Khamenei was killed yesterday by American and Israeli bombs. He spent 35 years trying to keep Iran free from the same forces. Both men were called dictators by the West. Both were loved by millions who saw them as defenders of sovereignty. History separated them by decades. Empire united their fate.

The war mongering pedophiles that brought you genocide in Gaza and the most scandalous files of abuse in history are now embroiling the world in a war to distract you in the name of “preserving freedom.” Bombing a girls elementary school and killing over 30 young children is scratching the surface for these monsters. Truly sickening.

Bombing Iran in the middle of negotiations, while starving Cuba, while genociding Palestinians, while threatening to invade Greenland… the US and Israel are the single greatest threat to humanity and it’s not even close. We are all forced to live in the nightmare they create.

Thanks for replying, @DHSgov. But some questions: 1. How did your agents determine that Mr. Shah Alam wanted to be dropped off at the coffee shop, since he did not speak English? 2. Since Mr. Shah Alam presumably had no phone or money, how did the agents expect him to get home through 5 miles of snow? 3. What did they expect him to do when the coffee shop closed? 4. How did they determine that a blind man needing a cane had no "mobility issues or disabilities"? 5. In the circumstances, why not notify the police or his family rather than dump him 5 miles from home? 6. Have you verified your information any better than when you declared that Alex Pretti and Renee Good were domestic terrorists?
