Today is the International Day to #EndFGM

Female genital mutilation (FGM) is an extreme form of discrimination, violates #HumanRights, and leads to serious health harms for millions of women and girls.

It must be prevented! bit.ly/3WNPkYm

At the press conference outside of USAID headquarters, Senator Chris Van Hollen:

"Elon Musk may get to be dictator of Tesla...and he may try to play dictator here in Washington D.C., but he doesn't get to shut down the Agency for International Development."

BOOM!

It’s so weird the way Phony Stark has it out for USAID, I wonder why. Could it be THIS!?!?

In the 1980s, USAID was responsible for financing projects that apartheid victims viewed as critical in promoting social, political, and economic change through peaceful means.

We told America and Brexit England, "Don't let the fascists win, vote for morality". Neither voted for moral people. Both got royalled ducked because they voted for fascists. This refugee tail is as old as Nansen's humanitarian work, as old as Henry Dunant's work. Look both people up.

My ambition in life is to have such a good personal life that I can use the Fediverse rather than antisocial media giants like X-crement and Faecesbook owned sites and apps.

I love that Google Play apps "Are you enjoying this app"? and we have the option of saying "not now". They didn't consider the juxtaposition. No, right now I am not enjoying the app. ;-)

When you control what three billion people see on Facebook, Whatsapp, Instagram and Threads you had better have leakers. He controls what almost a third of the world sees. He has power, he must be held to account. He should not have power without responsibility. This is also why we must dump FB.

They forgot to cover the forced repatriation of Brits from Europe to England, and the requirement for other Brits to live six months in England, and six months in Europe. That loss of freedom isn't in the stats.

What Drumpf is doing with tariffs makes no sense. The US has a monopoly on phones, OSes, Social networks, cultural output, electronic book sales and more. The US thrives on international sales. His level of xenophobia confuses me.

I would love for the contrary to occur. King Zuck, in the last two weeks has given Drumpf 26 million dollars. one for the inauguration, and 25 as a pot de vin. Do we really want FB to dictate culture? I don't.

The banning of "inconvenient truths" if we want to allude to a documentary we watched many years ago.
They want to ban the teaching of the unpleasant facts of American history because people might conclude injustices in the past that contribute to inequalities in the present should be rectified, instead of their belief, which is that some groups of people are inherently superior to others
