"There is a clear need for a renewed, principled feminist peace movement. This movement must go beyond strategies to ensure women’s inclusion in all efforts along the peace and security continuum."

📢New #PAG21 Notes from the Field 📝 In their Notes from the Field "Writing Brave Women," @jzulver.bsky.social & @kiranstallone.bsky.social reflect on the process of writing their upcoming book written about and with feminist activists from around the world. 🌟#OpenAccess🌟 gendersky buff.ly/NGzPIo1
Notes from the field entitled "Writing Brave Women: An Exercise in Academic Publishing as Feminist Solidarity" by Julia Zulver & Kiran Stallone.
Introduction beings: "What does it mean to be a brave woman? In 2020, we saw Belarusian women take to the streets dressed in white to oppose the violent dictatorship that had been in power for twenty-six years. In 2021, our television screens showed the Fall of Kabul, and the takeover by Taliban fighters, who overnight began to reverse decades of women’s empowerment. In response, and despite the risks, women demonstrators took to the streets in Kabul to demand their rights to work, education, and political participation. And in late 2022, we saw Iranian women fight for freedom, cutting their hair and burning their headscarves as they called for women’s rights in the context of brutal repression. "

After war, expanding women's rights is vital but focusing only on gender can obscure other forms of marginalization and even reproduce grievances tied to violence. Read more from Korbel's @marieberry.bsky.social & @sindujaraja.bsky.social with Milli Lake & Soraya Zarook in @gsqjournal.bsky.social

“The part of this that is so astoundingly stupid is that the Trump administration has confused our attention to marginalized communities as a political agenda when it is actually a core part of building a robust and prosperous and secure future for the United States”

They want more MOMS at home. And not just because they hate women. Their *economic* model depends on unpaid labor. And the most effective way to coerce unpaid labor is to create a second class of people and teach them that they're only "naturally" suited for labor they're forced to do for free.
From the NYT:

Not Just More Babies: These Republicans Want More Parents at Home
As the Trump administration shrinks federal child care programs, Republicans are backing policies they hope will allow more parents to scale back at work.

It will be critical in the coming months and years to support junior scholars impacted by politically-motivated cuts to science funding. One potential pathway for philanthropic funders (after the lawsuits are resolved) is to prioritize funding cancelled NSF postdoctoral fellowships & CAREER grants.

How many federal workers would DOGE need to fire to make up for Musk not paying his fair share of taxes? Answer: 677,000. That's 44% of the entire non-DoD federal workforce. Again, this power grab is not about the budget. It’s about politics.
Title: What Costs More: Billionaire Tax Avoidance or Federal Workers?
Subtitle: Musk’s tax avoidance could fund 677K federal jobs
	•	Current Tax Rate: 3.27%
	•	Top Federal Tax Rate: 37%

Cost Comparison (Bar Chart):
	•	Cost of Musk’s Tax Avoidance (smallest bar, purple)
	•	Cost of Top 100 Billionaires’ Tax Avoidance (largest bar, red)
	•	Total Federal Workforce Salaries (mid-sized bar, green)
X-axis ranges from $0B to $380B, showing that billionaire tax avoidance covers a significant portion of federal workforce salaries.

Impact on Federal Workforce:
	•	Average Federal Salary: $106,000
	•	Jobs Musk’s Avoidance Could Fund: 677,782 (29.5% of all federal employees)

Federal Workforce Breakdown (Pie Chart):
	•	A segment representing 29.5% of the workforce highlights the share Musk’s avoided taxes could fund, labeled “Share Equal to Musk’s Avoided Taxes: 29.5%”.

Sources:
	•	Musk’s Tax Rate: ProPublica
	•	Billionaire Gains: Bloomberg Billionaires Index (Dec. 31, 2024)
