This is the CEO lunch at #MSC2022. This is reality. This is where power lies. Where some of the most consequential decisions are made. And a woman this week still had the audacity to ask me: “You focus too much on Gender in Diplomacy. That’s not an issue anymore”. It’s an issue.

NOT GUILTY: A white teenager got his hands on a semiautomatic rifle, showed up at a protest in support of Black lives, killed two people and wounded another, traumatized a community — and due to our lax gun laws and culture of extremism, no one was held accountable.

CO2 levels in the atmosphere hit their highest level in modern history in May 2021.

The world's richest 10% of people account for over half of global CO2 emissions, Oxfam said last year — and those emissions could trigger "catastrophic" climate change by 2033 if left unchecked.

It is indeed shameful that even after the bombardment of Halabja with chemical weapons and the genocide against the people of Kurdistan, chauvinistic thinking remains dominant in Iraq, and that the rights of the people of Kurdistan continue to be denied.

A message of fraternity came from Erbil as well, the city in which I was received by the President of the autonomous region of Iraqi Kurdistan, @IKRPresident, and its Prime Minister, by the Authorities and by the people. I thank the dear Kurdish population for their warm welcome.

#Kurdistan will remain a safe haven in the Middle East for all ethnicities and religions, where we live together in peace, harmony and security. Our spirit and values will not be broken by terrorists and cowards.

We will continue to work for a strong and prosperous Kurdistan.

[Murad Ismael @murad_ismael]

The attack on Erbil aims at destabilization of the Kurdistan region and whole Iraq. It is the responsibility of Iraqi government to bring attackers to justice. No space should be given to armed groups. All heavy weaponry should be withdrawn from them.

A Cleveland officer who detained #TamirRice's sister after police shot and killed him was suspended for 2 days for "unsatisfactory performance" — 6 years later.

The officer handcuffed Tajai, 14, and put her in a police cruiser for over an hour near her dying 12-year-old brother.

White supremacists are the deadliest domestic terror threat in the U.S., says a new Homeland Security report.

In 2018 and 2019, white supremacists killed 39 people, more than 3x the number of people killed by all other domestic terrorist groups combined.

China has destroyed 8,500+ mosques in Xinjiang, says a new report based on satellite data.

Researchers say China has also built or expanded 380 camps holding Uighurs and minorities since 2017, telling @guardian it is like NYC building "55 prisons only for Black Americans."

You can not claim to be against racism and vote for Donald Trump. You can not separate the two. If you vote for Trump, you are actively voting for racism to continue.

"My daughter is dying."

UK police dragged a Muslim father from his terminally ill daughter, after doctors said they would stop treating her without family consent. Zainab, 6, died 4 weeks later.

Video shows police kicking him, calling him an "animal." He is taking legal action.
