Olivia Rodrigo raised $20 million for women's well-being with a benefit show featuring a women-led lineup. Her show raised $10 million and Melinda French Gates pledged another $10 million. Rodrigo said the festival's artists and activists give her hope despite the “regression of women's rights."

Olivia Rodrigo's festival is uniting women and girls behind nonprofits promoting their well-being
Few superstars are better suited to bridge the gap between Gen Z and nonprofits, which have struggled to build relationships with younger donors.

Lately some reporting I’ve been doing has been teaching me to think of mutual aid as being about more than humanity. So here’s a call to make for the right whales—that’s, right, save the whales—less than 400 of which are left in the wild. www.instagram.com/reel/DcmBCSE...

These Children’s Deaths Were Preventable. Their Parents Prayed Instead of Seeking Medical Care.
For decades, Idaho laws have allowed parents who belong to the Followers of Christ and other faith-healing sects to pray rather than seek medical care. Since 2015, at least 15 children have died of tr...

So this piece that @rosehorowitch.bsky.social (and I knew her when she wrote for @yaledailynews.bsky.social) is problematic. She suggests that student protests on Gaza got out of control bringing the clamp-down on university protests. 1/ www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

It’s great that you are still connected to our alma mater. When are you going to call out President Beilock for not refusing to sign this compact that would hurt Dartmouth? Five other schools have now refused. Both you & Mindy Kaling should be speaking up now. This is what Dartmouth needs from you.

This is a coup! U.S. Institute for Peace called the DC police on the Musk team members in an effort to stop them from trespassing because the institute has control of its own building and the land it sits on. But instead, the DC police allowed them to enter and kicked out the institute’s officials.

Are people finally waking up? The real fight isn’t about bathrooms or drag queens—it’s about who holds power & at whose expense. Culture war is just a distraction, keeping working people too busy fighting each other rather than noticing who’s actually robbing us blind: billionaires—not each other!

This is the way… “The elected officials in Washington have to stop protesting in Washington. They have to go back to their districts…show the consequences…show the school that isn’t operating…they have to make it real.” With social media, word will spread to neighboring districts—even red ones.
