The internet is back on in Afghanistan after the latest Taliban shutdown.
These shutdowns threaten severe harm to the rights and livelihoods of the population, and they can further silence and isolate women and girls.

So, so cruel.
The Gates Foundation, among other organizations, tried to purchase them so they could be distributed as intended.
"Our" government refused to see them and recoup millions of taxpayer dollars.
Waste, fraud, abuse indeed.

The idea that an instructor can and *should* be fired for daring to teach something not explicitly mentioned in course catalog is the pinnacle of the "students as customers" idiocy that's been steadily destroying American universities for decades now.
You're taking a class, not buying a product.

A top 50 US university yesterday fired an instructor, a department chair, and a dean because a course made some reference to transgender people without the brief official course description in the catalog saying “trigger warning: gender.”
In conclusion, those intolerant lefty kids, cancel culture.
