Rush Limbaugh died 4 years ago today. This is a perfect description of his life’s accomplishments.

I didn’t see many birds in Central Park this morning, but my friend Briana and I spotted this gorgeous coyote! Isn’t it amazing these wild creatures live in the middle of Manhattan? 🥰🥰🥰 #coyote #centralpark #birdcpp

For impact investors, there’s much keep in mind as we move into the new year, including the growing demand for catalytic capital and an evolving approach to climate finance. These “seven things to watch” from may be helpful to see: https://t.co/iq5vwYCCpQ #impinv

@RpsAgainstTrump All of you senate Republicans that know you’re not doing the right thing. This is what bravery looks like. Thanks Liz 👏

I was heartbroken when my 14 year old angel left me a few months ago. I drove to the shelter to donate her toys and treats and the new bed I had just bought. While I was turning to leave the building I heard soft little moans behind me. A woman was dropping her dog off because he had gotten too old and she was ready to adopt a puppy. This sweet dog had barely ten years old. As the worker was walking towards the back, I stopped him right away. Without question, I said, HE IS MINE. The adoption is final and now he is happily curled up at my feet, smiling as I write this.

I understand the sentiment to want to disengage, but experts on authoritarian goverenments remind us that it’s at the beginning of these regimes where the people have the best chance to fight back. That’s us and that’s now.

It's fundamental that you need to trust your ultimate AI assistant that will know everything about you.

You won't share everything that is in your head with some other company trying to make money from you.

[Malala Yousafzai @Malala]

Exactly 12 years ago today, a Taliban gunman pointed his gun at my head and shot me for daring to speak up for girls’ right to go to school.

I want to thank every person for your solidarity and support, from praying for my recovery to helping me in my work for girls’ access to education, both in my home country of Pakistan and around the world.

Most years, I spend October 9th like any other day, with gratitude for having lived another year. But today, I am in New York to address the American Society of International Law (ASIL), a prestigious group of legal experts who have chosen to honour @MalalaFund and its work alongside Afghan activists fighting to protect the right to education for girls in Afghanistan. These women worked tirelessly before the fall of Kabul in 2021, and fearlessly since, to keep girls learning under the most impossible circumstances. It is humbling to stand alongside them and gratifying to see them receive the recognition they deserve.

The Taliban continue to point literal and metaphoric weapons at girls and women in Afghanistan every day, from public beatings to ruthless edicts that ban them from learning, working and living freely. The brutality of the Taliban’s oppressive system against women is so extreme that Afghan activists and human rights defenders are calling it gender apartheid.

Right now, Afghan women and girls need more than words of sympathy. I call on governments and influential institutions to leverage their power, and through international law, hold the Taliban accountable. I especially call on Muslim leaders and institutions to play a leading role in challenging the Taliban’s misuse of religion and culture.

Just as people stood with me and my friends more than a decade ago, I hope people will stand in solidarity with Afghan girls and women now.
