Thanks to @ipinst.bsky.social for this year’s Women, Peace, Leadership event. My question for all at #UNGA: how do we raise the political salience of WPS? Despite the evidence that the status of women is directly correlated to peace, WPS goes out the window when crisis hits. How do we change this?

Five years after the Taliban retook power, women inside the country explain how they have been silenced, while the Afghan journalist Zahra Joya asks why the world has looked away In August 2021, the Afghan journalist Zahra Joya was in Kabul, where she and her family lived. Over the previous 10 days, Joya had witnessed what would have once seemed impossible: Taliban militants advancing through Afghanistan at astonishing speed, taking control of her country province by province.

Please stop saying “lockdowns.” There were never true lockdowns in the US, and it fuels far right narratives to repeat this inaccurate statement. You can say closures, you can say restrictions, or better, you can say public health measures which saved many lives.

I worked for New York’s largest medical center at the start of the pandemic. There were morgue trucks on the streets. They set up emergency medical tents in Central Park. Healthcare worker colleagues died. It is horrific that RFK Jr is on national TV lying that ICUs were empty.

Lorenzo Salgado Araujo called Houston home for 35 years. On Tuesday, an ICE agent shot and killed him. His family learned of his death from a video before anyone bothered to knock on their door.
New York City stands with the Salgado family in demanding a full, independent investigation and real accountability. To the Salgado family and any immigrant family in this city living in fear: we grieve with you and we will continue to stand beside you in the pursuit of justice.
Abolish ICE.

The early days of Trump 2.0 were so insane that stories like Paul Osadebe's may have gotten lost. But it's important to have a record of the way he (and others like him) sacrificed his job and livelihood in order to warn the public about a horrible abuse of law. We owe him a debt of gratitude.

Trans, non-binary, and gender-nonconforming people have always been here — from the hijra of India to the Diné nádleehi to the leaders who built the modern LGBTQIA+ movement here in New York.
