Fighting for women's rights today also includes fighting for the right to live in a peaceful and safe country.

I like this cartoon so much we paid the New Yorker the fee it requested to include it in my book.

Trump has launched a war in the Middle East without our consent, without a plan, without a strategy, and without any clear idea about where it leads or how it ends.

🇺🇦 Zelensky: The strength and role of Ukrainian women is not just one day. It is all 365 days. Ukrainian women defend the country, wait for their relatives and support their loved ones, raise children in difficult conditions of war, create, research, rescue, teach, treat.
This is how liars lie (and how I call it out).
The Department of Justice has sued 30 states and DC for access to their unreacted sensitive voter data. My law firm is fighting them in all 30 cases.
We are dedicating so many resources because these are the most important legal fights and the future of free and fair elections is at stake.
A black-and-white 19th-century steel engraving depicting Anna Komnene, the Byzantine princess and historian (1083–1153), shown in a seated three-quarter view within an interior setting. She is portrayed as a dignified, scholarly woman in medieval Byzantine-inspired attire: a long, flowing dark robe or mantle with wide sleeves and ornate trim around the neckline, fastened or adorned with a brooch or clasp at the chest. Her face is youthful yet composed, with soft features, downcast eyes focused intently on the open book before her, full lips, and a serene, contemplative expression suggesting deep thought or study. Her left hand rests gently on the pages of a large lectern-style book propped on a stand, while her right hand holds a quill. The background features subtle swirling ornamental patterns and faint architectural or decorative motifs, evoking a scholarly or monastic chamber. The engraving style is finely detailed with cross-hatching for shading and texture, typical of Victorian-era historical illustrations, signed in the lower area (possibly "J. Romney" or similar artist/engraver mark). The overall mood conveys intellectual pursuit, piety, and historical gravitas, idealizing Anna as the author of the Alexiad and a pioneering female scholar in Byzantine history.
Anna Komnene (1083–1153), one of the world’s first major female historians.
Wrote 𝘈𝘭𝘦𝘹𝘪𝘢𝘥, a detailed account of her father Emperor Alexios I Komnenos’s reign. Her work constitutes the most important primary source of late 11th/early 12th century Byzantine history & of the early Crusades. #WHM

Pete Hegseth claims Donald Trump has renamed the map of North America.
Prior to the Ukraine invasion, Putin used the same tactics. He claimed that Ukraine was not an independent nation - just part of greater Russia.
Fuck your greater America Trump. You are a criminal.

I skuggan av USA:s och Israels angreppskrig mot Iran fortgår den humanitära krisen i Gaza. Israel har stängt gränsövergångarna och Läkare utan gränser och 36 andra hjälporganisationer tvingas lämna Gaza. Omvärlden sviker återigen Gazaborna.
If it’s true that the United States bombed an elementary school and killed scores of children it is an unfathomable crime. I have never been more disgusted to be an American.
Tomorrow marks the 61st anniversary of Bloody Sunday in Selma, Alabama. It also marks the 60th anniversary of the Supreme Court first upholding the Voting Rights Act.

4 years of war against the Russian aggressors including the invaluable experience as well as technology Ukraine has accumulated, and it is now the nations of the world in dire situation which ask Ukraine for help. The best part, Ukraine gives them the help.
