On this World Food Day I am in Rome at the World Food Forum. CAR Pres. Faustin-Archange Touadéra presented a paradox: we are short on food and water. Agriculture takes 70% of water. We choose between dying of thirst or decreasing agriculture & dying of hunger.

@SmartLess @BillGates @SeanHayes @batemanjason @arnettwill @SIRIUSXM I really enjoyed this show, except the beginning when Will & Jason dismissed Sean’s joke, which I thought was very cute, & their constant dissing & cutting short anything Sean said (like always). Please stop. It’s mean, mean-spirited and promotes crappy treatment of “friends.”

For the 25 million individuals who are alive because of PEPFAR's HIV/AIDS initiative, the stakes are deadly serious. My latest: https://t.co/yCvyoUN636

“There is no safe place in Gaza & there is no way out” says @volker_turk.
Last night’s bombardment & ground operations in Gaza by Israeli forces were reportedly the most intensive yet, taking the crisis to a new level of violence & pain. Continued violence is not the answer. https://t.co/JOiBzamOl7

Militaries can’t indiscriminately bomb/raid a neighborhood & say, “it’s their own fault for not leaving.” Civilians have rights in armed conflict—to food, safe water, safety+. #CeasefireForGaza https://t.co/4gnUkcwKFl

Today is Wood Food Day but 1 in 8 people in the world are hungry due to conflict, climate change, polluted water and other man made disasters. Right-wing extremists are trying to gut the #FarmBill of US family & intl food aid. What’s at stake: https://t.co/JH1MJPcY1a

Mon Rovia singing the beautiful, moving song “Big Love Ahead”. There is something gorgeous about listening to him sing and to the interpreter in my ear who is singing along. Magic moments. @WFFofficial @amprog

Prime Minister of Tanzania, H.E. Honorable Kassim Majaliwa: women and youth are central to our country’s growth and resilience.

@WorldFoodForum Iraq president H.E. Abdul Latif Rashid: Whether water resources are abundant, scarce or polluted, we need a global process to achieve water growth and resilience. All countries should have right to equitable share of water. @amprog

The Palestinian & Israeli people suffer consequences even as their govts dare each other to do more. One is dismantling democracy & the other can’t reach it. Families grieving injured, missing & dead members. These wounds will fester in the absence of justice & peace. Basta.

Netanyahu says he won’t violate intl law as Israel bombs family homes w/o warning. Hamas says it is holding Israel to account for violations of intl law while also violating them. The US & EU nod along to Israel illegally using food as a weapon of war. https://t.co/pLMeh0L1J2

Devastating to see destruction & pain unfolding in Gaza & Israel. There is no monopoly on pain & no excuse for reporting on the suffering of only 1 side. Media organizations are irresponsible when they don’t contextualize in illegal occupation & oppression. Mercy for all sides.

Today Biden admin announced #GlobalHealthSecurity&DiplomacyBureau, bringing 3 agencies together to focus on intl health security, pandemic prev, trtmt & response. Step 1: Congress reauthorizes & fully funds McGovern-Dole for girls' health. My take here: https://t.co/JH1MJPcY1a

[Sarnata Reynolds @SarnataReynolds]

Extreme right in Congress forced delay to #farmbill b/c want deep cuts to intl food assistance - a life and death program that US farmers proudly supply. It also boosts US trade, democratic institutions & girls' ed. Learn more here: https://t.co/JH1MJPcY1a

[Sarnata Reynolds @SarnataReynolds]

@RepFeenstra is right to push against cuts to intl food assistance that US farmers proudly supply. As well as abandoning people facing famine, it would undermine US trade, girls’ education & democratic institutions. My piece here: https://t.co/JH1MJPcY1a

Slashing funding to food assistance programs undermines bipartisan US foreign policy objectives, opening the door for Beijing to expand its influence in the Global South argues @SarnataReynolds. https://t.co/ml4NlTKVnB

[Sarnata Reynolds @SarnataReynolds]

U.S. food assistance can mean the difference between extreme hunger and famine. US Congress should protect intl food programs in the#farmbill. My latest: https://t.co/JH1MJPcY1a @amprog

[Sarnata Reynolds @SarnataReynolds]

U.S. food assistance can mean the difference between extreme hunger and famine but some members of congress are trying to cut funding in the farm bill. My analysis here. https://t.co/JH1MJPcY1a
