AI deepfake abuse is harming women and girls everywhere. About 90% of deepfakes online are sexual, yet media coverage still sensationalizes them rather than centering survivor stories. I’m joining @ultraviolet.bsky.social in calling for better news coverage. share.weareultraviolet.org/s/VSDpqIrt

The IHR (2005) State Parties have the right to decide whether or not to adopt & implement the IHR amendments. We regret 🇺🇸 decision to reject the amendments adopted by consensus by the WHA in 2024 —incl. by 🇺🇸, as 🇺🇸 played an active role in developing & negotiating the amendments with other countries.

this is all horrible. alongside devastating blows to PBS and NPR, this bill totally ends US funding to key UN bodies that do frontline work, including UNICEF & OCHA, the Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs. Completely eliminates US contributions—previously the US was the key funder.

Today I lost an NIH grant training clinicians to do research about intimate partner violence with perinatal women. More women are murdered in the perinatal period than die of obstetric complications. I didn't just lose a grant. We lost an entire cohort of people building careers to prevent that.
