Limiting womenā€™s opportunities doesnā€™t just hold them back ā€“ it weakens entire economies and makes them less efficient.ā  ā  Advancing equality is the smart thing to do if we want to create a brighter, more prosperous future for everyone.ā  #WomenPower #InspiringWomen #Equality

Here I react to the shameful encounter between American leaders and media and the Ukrainian president. No doubt there were more, but I saw five failures on our side: of hospitality, decency, democracy, strategy, and independence. Please watch and share. snyder.substack.com/p/five-failu...

Proof that #Iowa legislators are NOT working for #Iowans.

Idk if any #Iowans are searching tags, but keep the pressure on them! Committee meeting is tomorrow at 9:30. If you can't make it to the Capitol you can leave a public comment here: www.legis.iowa.gov/committees/p... #iowa #lgbt #protecttranslives

www.pbs.org/wnet/america... ā€œ1995-1998 Flack hosted a weekly radio show, "Brunch with Roberta Flack".ā€ Add this to the list of reasons I wish I could go back to 1995, nope 1996 probably. I definitely didnā€™t get that radio show in my area but really wish I had! RIP Roberta Flack

All we need for peace in Ukraine is for Russian soldiers to return to Russia.

Trans people should not upset you more than Nazis.

NEW: I just asked Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett if she had a message to Elon Musk. What would she say to him? Here was her answer: ā€œFuck off.ā€

Let me tell you a storyā€¦ A few years ago I ran into a state senator at an event and ended up having dinner with her. At one point I brought up that I was trans and I was tired of everything that was going on. 1/8

Iowans can leave public comments on this bill before the subcommittee at 11:30. Iā€™m told they plan to go to committee with this at 1:30 today, likely in an effort to get to a floor vote, all today. www.kcci.com/article/iowa...

Diversity is our greatest asset, even if the government disagreesā€¦ They not like us! POC in STEM are here to stay. They tried to rig the game but you canā€™t fake influence! Mustard on the [Be][At] bro. Happy Black History Month!

I learned a lot from this and the multi-part series by Shondiin Silversmith on the new uranium mining transport throughout tribal lands. This journalist and others can also be found at ictnews.org a nonprofit news organization

Trump is simply repeating a Putin talking point here. Russia has insisted on intervening in basic issues of Ukrainian sovereignty for more than a decade. Now Trump is doing Putinā€™s PR work, making unsustainable arguments for an unjustifiable invasion. www.axios.com/2025/02/18/t...

My thoughts on the Russian-American talks on Ukraine, without Ukraine. The simplest interpretation of the available facts is that the Americans are using Russian violence to try to exploit Ukraine. snyder.substack.com/p/peace-or-p...

Elon Musk fired a disabled Veteran with 3 tours of duty from his job serving other Veterans at the VA. Elonā€™s companies get billions from defense contracts. Heā€™s happy to profit off our servicemembers - but when he can no longer make money off them, he kicks them to the curb.

This is why thereā€™s been so much silence as Black history and Black books are being purged, and integration efforts dismantled. Many Democrats think the purges are valid and necessary. ā€œCandidly, the attack on over-the-top wokeism was a valid attack."

Just got word that our Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI) Inclusive Excellence 3 (IE3) Grant was being canceled. All 100+ institutions. So even private funding is susceptible to this administrationā€™s unraveling of DEI initiatives

What's happening at #USAID is causing so much damage. The great reporters at @science.org explore some of that damage. www.science.org/content/arti...
