MA, I'M ON A PODCAST! So, so thrilled to be able to publicly share the discussion @Tammamo and I had for @HEREGeneva's #HEREWhatNext conference: tune in to hear us talk about #antiracism in #humanitarian work and principles, and more!

Seventeen countries have frozen funding to @UNRWA so far, including its two largest donors (🇺🇸🇩🇪), with potentially dire implications for Palestinians.

A thread about what we know, and what to keep in mind about the agency and its role in Gaza: (1/x)

[Philip Proudfoot @PhilipProudfoot]

The response to the ICJ should have been sanctions on Israel. Instead, Western donor countries have placed sanctions on Palestinians

Genuinely, I think this one of the darkest moments in the history of humanitarianism. This will have Rwanda-level implications for the aid world.

@chykolba Thank you again for coming on!

[Val Hambye-Verbrugghen (she/her) @ValHbyVrb]

Thanks to @CHS_Alliance for the invitation to today's #CHSrevision, really grateful for the opportunity to sit in on and participate in today's discussions.

Now in English, without paywall: We read the secret OLAF report that reveals the full extent of the #Frontexscandal. The agency covered up the Greek pushback campaign and even helped to finance it.👇 https://t.co/7X9dgqCSSu

@florianemborel Love this!

Clarence Thomas writes, in a concurring opinion, that the Supreme Court should reconsider Griswold, Lawrence, and Obergefell — the rulings that now protect contraception, same-sex relationships, and same-sex marriage.

[The Cut @TheCut]

The Supreme Court will likely overturn Roe v. Wade, and the legal right to abortion will disappear in half the country. But abortion itself will not.

In @nymag's new issue, we’ve compiled a practical guide to accessing an abortion, today and tomorrow: https://t.co/VPiV7xfJdV

Petite histoire qui vient tout juste de m'arriver, pour illustrer à quel point celles qui disent "Mais si bien sûr c'est tout à fait normal de se faire aborder dans la rue, celles qui refusent les interactions humaines ont un problème" ne doivent pas VRAIMENT connaître. 1/

[Ellen Salvi @ellensalvi]

Le confusionnisme, le nivellement par le bas et la malhonnêteté intellectuelle des macronistes ont servi de passerelle vers l’hémicycle aux idées racistes et xénophobes qu’ils prétendaient combattre. C’est leur responsabilité. Et notre catastrophe. https://t.co/I8a8TppuVT

Au vu des résultats des législatives:
"@EmmanuelMacron, vous mettez à la tête de l'État des hommes accusés de viols et de violences sur les femmes. Pourquoi?"

[Val Hambye-Verbrugghen (she/her) @ValHbyVrb]

FR/EN bilinguals and/or people working in humanitarian/development fields -- how would you translate 'area-based coordination', coordination de zone or coordination de proximité? It's a source of debate in the office. Would love to hear the reasoning too!

[Human Rights Watch @hrw]

Belgium must move beyond regrets. It's time to start discussions about reparations for colonial-era abuses in the Democratic Republic of Congo.

@JFCrisp Agree on the double standards if this happens but it seems optimistic; I'd be very surprised if they called for their welcome at all.
