On 9/11 and every day ask yourself:
Dear Lord, lest I continue in my complacent ways, help me to remember someone died for me today. If there be war, help me to remember to ask am I worth dying for - Eleanor Roosevelt

“Two years ago, we were in Kigali, Rwanda, for the same convening, where three cohorts of Amujae Leaders came together. Two years later, we are here in Dakar with five cohorts, bringing together 70 Amujae Leaders from 29 countries in Africa. What a difference.” It is with these words that EJS Center Executive Director, Ellen Pratt-Harris officially opened the 2026 Amujae High-Level Leadership Forum, held in Dakar, Senegal, from 12–14 August 2026.

"Women's leadership is not a concession to women. It is a strategic necessity for an Africa that must now take her rightful place as a dignified, empowered player on the global stage. And so if we want to stop being pitied as a continent, we must stop pitying our women by giving them token positions of leadership."
Her Royal Majesty Olori Atuwatse III of the Warri Kingdom 🇳🇬 at the 2026 Amujae High-Level Leadership Forum.

I wish I could retweet this a million times given all the facts in it. But the most important out of it is this: the left thinks the center-left are sellouts, when actually they are trying to just win elections by attracting indies to beat the fascists. nytimes.com/2026/08/16/upsho…

The inflation rate in Biden's last month in office was 2.9%. Trump (supported by a Republican Congress) has driven it up to 4.2%.
Thank you, voters, for your attention to this matter.

For Trump and his friends:
- A $1.8 billion slush fund, paid for by you.
- A $1 billion ballroom, paid for by you.
For you and other American taxpayers:
- Millions kicked off health care.
- Highest gas prices in 5 years.
- Soaring costs for groceries.

Trump has become fully unhinged and we should talk about it.

Just yesterday, Russia bombed an apartment building in my city—Kharkiv—in the middle of the night, while it was full of sleeping families. Ten people were killed, and we are still searching for more bodies in the rubble.
This is what Russia will do with the money from that oil.
WELKER: Why is the Trump administration helping Russia in this moment?
WALTZ: Oh, I wouldn't characterize it that way
WELKER: How else would you characterize easing oil sanctions?
WALTZ: It's common sense to allow millions of barrels of oil sitting on ships to go to India
WELKER: I mean, Russia will be getting that money as it wages its war in Ukraine

Wow -- as first spotted by @BadFoxGraphics, Fox & Friends this morning used *old footage of a previous dignified transfer* to mislead their audience about the fact that Trump wore a baseball cap during the one yesterday

On this day in 2020, former President @MaEllenSirleaf officially launched the Ellen Johnson Sirleaf Presidential Center for Women and Development with the inaugural Amujae Initiative cohort.
Six years later, the work continues.
Over 50 Amujae Leaders across 20+ African countries, a Data Hub tracking women’s representation in all 54 African states, and one clear objective:
#GapZero, closing the gender gap in public leadership.
On #InternationalWomensDay, our Executive Director Ellen O. Pratt reflects on the progress made and the work ahead.

So let’s stop the games.
If you want this fight, @RepJamesComer, let’s have it—in public.
You love to talk about transparency. There’s nothing more transparent than a public hearing, cameras on.
We will be there.
