I spoke to @AP on #Trump's Board of Peace: “It’s hardly surprising that very few governments want to join Trump’s wannabe-UN, which so far looks more like a pay-to-play club of human rights abusers & war crimes suspects than a serious int'l organization." https://t.co/p8GUleFzeq
In 1977, Aryeh Neier—Holocaust survivor, ACLU director & @hrw co-founder—defended Nazis’ right to march in Skokie. Nearly 50 years later, as Jimmy Kimmel faces backlash for his jokes, Neier says: protecting your enemies’ speech is how we protect democracy.

I'm so grateful this piece has been written. Even the cover resonated -- at some point, the makers of our dinosaur-shaped chicken nuggets discontinued them. It was one of the only things my son would eat. He would not eat any other dinosaur-shaped ones. A crisis ensued.
ARFID — or avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder — is a fairly new addition to the modern parenting lexicon: a behavior far more severe than pickiness, it’s an eating disorder provoked not by the desire to change one’s body but by the fear of food itself. It can range from eating a very limited number of foods to refusing food altogether Only in the past few years has the acronym begun circulating on playgrounds and in school nurses’ offices, and it’s not uncommon for parents to first stumble upon it on their own—on Reddit threads, in Facebook groups, on Instagram or TikTok.
While classified as an eating disorder, ARFID may be more easily understood in many children as an anxiety disorder that fixates on food. Its rise coincides with a pediatric diagnostic boom in mental health conditions as more and more children are treated for generalized anxiety disorder, autism spectrum disorder, and ADHD—raising the question of whether they are a generation maladapted to the world around them or the first generation to be thoroughly understood. ARFID often orbits these diagnoses, a disorder that can become the most physical manifestation of what’s happening in a child’s mind.

@NYMag 2/3 the helplessness and fear when you kid falls off the growth chart; the maritial stress; the broken friendships; the guilt that it was someting I did wrong; feeding & swallowing clinics; cognitive behavioral therapy; sensory integraiton therapy; a clinical trial at NYU.
@NYMag 1/3 This article is so amazing and captured so thoroughly the difficulties of parenting a child with ARFID. The mealtime struggles that so often devolved into yelling; the pediatrician saying "just make your kid eat what's on his plate,"; the judgement by friends & family;
“Why are you gay?”
The question became meme. But it resulted from a dark reality. In Uganda, being gay can mean life in prison — or death.

It's reductionist to say what's happening in #Congo is a battle over mineral wealth, but in many ways, this is the real-life 'vibranium' war. @hrw host Ngofeen Mputubwele, whose family hails from Congo, interviews 2 special guests: his parents. https://t.co/P9rb1osGoJ
