Sometimes I genuinely feel like I am a woman with a fork in a world where it rains soup, and never more so when, the week its former leader is convicted of multiple sexual offences against children, I see multiple members of that party on the front of every paper saying "we knew he was a creep!!"

NEW from me for @chmenap.bsky.social: Syria's Kurds suffered a dramatic setback over the past month, but the response from ordinary Kurds and their leaders was remarkable as cross-border solidarity skyrocketed. www.chathamhouse.org/2026/02/what...

What recent developments in Syria mean for the Kurds
Kurdish forces suffered a major setback as the Damascus government seized northeast Syria and cemented its partnership with Washington — yet Kurdish cross-border solidarity has been renewed.

Trump's "medical advice" ties into a long history of mother blame and boosts the political capital of a presidency based on misogyny. My short piece for QPol: @qubelfastofficial.bsky.social

I don't care whether it works or how it works. The reason AI is bad is because it's environmentally ruinous, socially devastating, and being pushed on us without consent by the worst people in the world.

I wrote a piece on how we need to call violent misogyny exactly what it is: an extremist ideology that is already present and operating in society.

As Biden's presidency comes to an end, his track record is underwhelming—littered with missed opportunities to support Kurds and Kurdish issues, Winthrop Rodgers writes.
