In case anyone isn’t aware, Trump is demanding Zambia to hand over its mineral rights by end of day tomorrow or the U.S. gov’t will cut off the country’s access to the AIDS medications that are literally keeping its citizens alive.

Just thought y’all should know.

I believe progress is possible even in hard times. The day Trump returned to the WH, @UNHumanRights issued rulings protecting girls in Latin America—with global implications. With @EnidMuthoni1 of @ReproRights, I wrote on hope + persistence: https://t.co/MsZ6HnqIUI

This study examines the circumstances under which abortion may be legally permitted in Uganda and other African countries, looking at the exceptions and defences within the law. It demonstrates the circumstances under which those who seek or provide these life-saving abortion and post-abortion care services can do so without the threat of legal prosecution. In that regard, it enhances the foundations for strategic litigation against punitive penal provisions and legal defences for individuals caught up in the criminal justice system by the law on abortion.

The paper clarifies what the law actually says, exposes contradictions and barriers, and provides evidence that can strengthen advocacy to decriminalise abortion in the case-study countries and across Africa.

@Atayeshe @UNFPA @UN Cheers, Dr. Kanem, to a job well done! You inspire us all and your legacy is a powerful one.🥂🙏🏾❤️

[#SAYNOTOHOMOPHOBIA | SMUG🏳️‍🌈 @SMUG2004]

On May 19, 2022, two colleagues from SMUG went to Ntinda Police Station in Kampala to report a case of malicious damage to property. Instead of receiving justice, they were arrested, coerced into making statements, and detained overnight—facing assault charges brought by the very perpetrator, Elisha Joshua Mukisa.

For nearly three years, this case has dragged on. But today, we are thrilled to share that justice has finally been served—the case has been dismissed!

Free Mahmoud Khalil. This is straight out of the fascist playbook. Criminalizing dissent is an assault on our First Amendment and freedom of speech. Revoking someone’s green card for expressing their political opinion is illegal. Protesting genocide is not a crime.

[Planned Parenthood Global @ppglobe]

Words hardly capture how devastating these cuts are for millions who depend on @UNFPA’s work. This decision has a dire effect on women & girls around the world, stripping them of critical health care, including sexual & reproductive health services, and costing countless lives.

[Planned Parenthood Global @ppglobe]

The Trump admin has shut down nearly all foreign aid, gutting decades of progress and disrupting essential health care services, including life-saving family planning and HIV care. These actions are reckless and devastating, and will cost millions of lives.https://t.co/qvdduWMPRj

[Lori Adelman @Ladelman]

🚨 Everyone should speak out about the halt to USAID’s lifesaving programs & moves to gut this critical agency. Millions will suffer—and this could set a dangerous precedent across the government.

[Atul Gawande @Atul_Gawande]

My article on the ongoing, likely unconstitutional funding freeze at USAID now imperiling millions of lives: “This is not a pause. It is a destruction.”

USAID is also where the Administration is testing out its playbook for eviscerating other agencies.

[Lori Adelman @Ladelman]

Absolutely devastating. With this policy, Trump is sending a message to the world: his administration would rather advance a dangerous political agenda than eradicate disease and preventable death around the world (and yes, Americans, we’re part of the world).

[Planned Parenthood Global @ppglobe]

The #GlobalGagRule has been reinstated & it will have deadly consequences. This harmful U.S. policy blocks global health funding for orgs that provide abortion information and care, & as long as it is in place, people will suffer — especially women & girls around the world. 🧵

[Cringewatchers @cringewatchers]

Happy holidays, Cringewatchers! To escape the devastation of this timeline, we ranked the cringiest plotlines of our favorite multiverse/time travel movies and series. The final episode of season 4 dropped today. Enjoy and see you in the new year!

[Pasiri @Pasiri_Africa]

Debates around decoloniality have reemerged in recent years. Yet, we've heard little from African and Global South scholars about what they think. We are excited to launch our latest issue of African Social Research on "Decoloniality and Decolonization" feat. 13 original essays.

[Cringewatchers @cringewatchers]

We talked to Jazmine Hughes (@jazzedloon) about the high stakes of taking a stand, the role of opinion in journalism, and the healing power of an Usher concert. New episode out today.

@LewisEmmerton @ReykjavikGlobal @SheDecidesGFI @MFAIceland Congrats, this is amazing and well deserved!

[Lori Adelman @Ladelman]

Excellent conversation among many here at #reykjavik24. Thank you for having me!

[Lori Adelman @Ladelman]

So grateful for @barreto_anap’s leadership both within and outside of @ppglobe 👏🏾🤩🇺🇳

[Planned Parenthood Global @ppglobe]

Our VP of Latin America @barreto_anap marks the final year of the International Decade for People of African Descent & reaffirms our commitment to promoting the human rights, dignity, and development of people of African descent at #UNGA79. 🌍

[Planned Parenthood Global @ppglobe]

As we prepare for the likely return and possible expansion of the #GlobalGagRule, know this – we are committed to fighting this dangerous policy until it is gone for good. Everyone deserves access to comprehensive sexual and reproductive health info, care and rights 🌍💪

[Lori Adelman @Ladelman]

But—and this is critical—as damaging as Trump is, it’s time we recognize that intersectionality, accessibility, and materiality aren’t just virtues to signal or boxes to check. They are essential, powerful tactics we must actively and ruthlessly deploy.

[Lori Adelman @Ladelman]

While today is awful, my true belief is that a just world with reproductive freedom for all is still possible. Even if Trump (and Trumpism) remains influential, his agenda is not inevitable. @ppglobe
