Am the only one struck by the enormous difference between the massive effort to save five people in the Titanic submersible and the Greek Coast Guard's pathetic effort to save hundreds of migrants from their obviously precarious boat just before it sank? edition.cnn.com/2023/06/21/u…

200 children. 200 children. 200 children. 200 children. 200 children. 200 children. 200 children. 200 children. 200 children. 200 children. This is state violence against children. theguardian.com/uk-news/2023…

A day after of the Taliban BANNED female university education, women & girls have come out on the streets of Kabul protesting against the decree.
They chant —“Either for everyone or for no one. One for all, all for one”
Amplify their voices.

The Islamic Republic of Iran has been removed from the UN’s Commission on the Status of Women!
This is a victory for Iranian revolutionaries who have been facing guns & bullets as they fight this gender apartheid state.
This is the flame of #IranRevoIution lit by #MahsaaAmini

Meet Ciham Ali Abdu…
She was arrested by #Eritrean authorities a decade ago.
⚠️ When she was 15.
Ciham has not been seen or heard from since then. She has never been charged with any offense.

A poignant video of the 450+ protestors killed thus far in Iran. It’s not a coincidence that many of them are remembered singing and dancing; they died protesting a regime that has criminalized both activities.
Are you paying attention @england? The US Women’s team are set to earn more than they ever have done, even as World Champions, because of their equal pay deal with the men’s team. Now for the champion @Lionesses too? #ENGWAL
I wrote about what's at stake for the USWNT at the men's World Cup:
If the USMNT wins today, and loses in the R16, the U.S. women would earn more this tournament than they did for winning the 2015+2019 World Cups COMBINED!!
The #equalpay deal matters.

Sarina Esmaeilzadeh 16 yr smart and brilliant. She was beaten to death by IRGC for standing up for her rights. She was a true fan of football, but none of the Iranian footballers mentioned her name, afraid of loosing their place in Iran’s team.

Take a beat to recognize that the Iranian football team not singing the anthem is very brave. This is more than football #ENGIRN

This is next level brave. Here’s hoping @England players can show a teeny fraction of the same courage and demonstrate solidarity with the women of Iran when they take the #FIFAWorldCup stage on Monday. #WomenLifeFreedom
Another cultural earthquake. Iranian female basketball team removed their hijab and posted their unveiled photo on Instagram to protest against the main pillar of a gender apartheid regime.
They published the photo with this slogan;
Woman Life Freedom.

Emma Hayes has criticised the fact that women face a long wait for gynaecology appointments in the UK and the 'political choice not to invest in women’s health', before her return to the touchline with Chelsea.

Revenge hath no fury like a young woman denied her right to abortion
Roe Wave > Red Wave
At this point, with a potential 1 seat gain for Dems in the Senate and the margin in the House likely to be no more than a few seats either way, it's safe to say that Dobbs changed everything. And this shouldn't have surprised anyone.
