David Letterman, speaking on his career as a comedian mocking presidents, tells @JeffreyGoldberg: “Beating up on these people, rightly or wrongly, accurately or perhaps inaccurately, in the name of comedy—not once were we squeezed by anyone from any governmental agency, let alone the dreaded FCC.”

So proud to be a part of this project in my beautiful Colombia!

[Open Society Foundations @OpenSociety]

To amplify the voices of civil society leaders actively working against violence and as a call for peace,@EvaBuzo, swimmer, human rights lawyer, and Executive Director of @VicAdvInt, swam for more than 10 hours in Colombia’s pacific, from Juanchaco to Malecon Buenaventura.

Following last May’s warning from the Colombian Ombudsman’s Office of a serious humanitarian situation in Buenaventura, Eva’s symbolic swim was an act of resilience of communities in the face of the intensification of the armed conflict in this area.

Elon Musk says that no one has died because he slashed humanitarian aid. I went to South Sudan to check if that's true. It's not. Within an hour of starting interviews, I had the names of a 10-year-old boy and an 8-year-old girl who had died because of decisions by wealthy men in Washington.
The visit that moved me the most was to a remote area that used to have no health care, where women routinely died in childbirth. Then a US-funded maternity clinic opened through @UNFPA in December, and not one woman has died since. I showed up, and people mistakenly thought I was responsible for the clinic. One new mom wanted to name her baby for me, and the village elders thanked me and hailed America's generosity. What they didn't know was that Trump/Musk had cut all funding for UNFPA and that as a result the maternity clinic will close this month, and women will once again be bleeding to death in the dust.

The Voice of America may not live up to its ambitious name for much longer.

Today the staff was told to stop working. Some were told to hand in badges. And contracts with other American-funded networks were cancelled. This is a massive purge. 🧵

This is a truly heartwarming gesture. Our gratitude to #France & the municipality of #Paris for illuminating the #EiffelTower, one of the world's iconic landmarks, with the message "Afghan Women" on March 8th. This act serves as a poignant reminder to the world of our ongoing situation.

On this International Women's Day I am thinking about the millions of Afghan women and girls who continue to have their basic human rights denied.
Today it is 1267 days since the Taliban banned teenage girls from going to school.

"We are the darkest page of history" Afghan women sing in protest. This #IWD is another day of erasure for us Afghan women. Under 126 Taliban edicts, our faces are banned, our voices silenced, our dignity stolen. This is gender apartheid. Do not look away.

Watch & share their courage: Defying all odds, women gather to celebrate the winter solstice with poetry, resisting Taliban's ban on cultural celebrations & women's voices. ‘We hope to celebrate this night free of the Taliban next year,’ one woman says.
