To Save Us from Hell -- globaldispatches.org -- outline key stories and themes to follow in their pre UNGA80 podcast. They'll also be providing analysis after high level week. Hosted by @anjalikdayal.bsky.social and @markleongoldberg.bsky.social

My annual UNGA Preview! www.globaldispatches.org/p/marks-pers...

It's the "Live from Aspen edition! @sranderson.bsky.social sat down with @shaneharris.bsky.social, @markleongoldberg.bsky.social, and @alexward.bsky.social live from the Aspen Security Forum to discuss what foreign ministers were talking about, the hottest topic at the form, AI, and more.

The latest Global Dispatches episode from @markleongoldberg.bsky.social is mindboggling and sombre. His interview with Katherine Houreld from the @washingtonpost.com discussing impacts from the cessation of USAID highlights yet another preventable disaster. #Sudan #GlobalNews #Humanitarian #MedSky

USAID is dead. After 64 years, America’s global aid agency is gone — folded into the State Dept. The fallout? 14 million lives at risk if U.S. aid cuts stick I spoke with WaPo's Katharine Houreld about what that means for Sudan --> www.globaldispatches.org/p/how-trumps...

This is a brilliant piece of journalism. I'm interviewing the author @khoureld.bsky.social tomorrow. www.washingtonpost.com/world/2025/0...

Love this!

RFK Jr did something yesterday that may result in the deaths of hundreds of thousands of children www.globaldispatches.org/p/rfk-jrs-at...

Whether you like Mamdani's style politics or not, I really appreciated @attackerman.bsky.social's argument here. Well worth your time. www.forever-wars.com/this-is-the-...

Whether you like Mamdani's style politics or not, I really appreciated @attackerman.bsky.social's argument here. Well worth your time. www.forever-wars.com/this-is-the-...

I had a really helpful conversation with @dassakaye.bsky.social who discussed some plausible scenarios going forward --> www.globaldispatches.org/p/will-the-i...

What global story should my next Global Dispatches podcast episode cover?

I'm speaking with an expert from the International Rescue Committee about Israel's shambolic gaza aid operation: open.substack.com/live-stream/...

If you like solutions journalism... www.globaldispatches.org/p/two-podcas...

I'm speaking w/ @thomasreesesj.bsky.social at the top of the hour about Pope Leo's foreign policy debut. What do you want to learn? open.substack.com/live-stream/...

This is not as far fetched as it may seem! @anjalikdayal.bsky.social and I discuss at length the extreme cost-saving measures the United Nations is considering at this truly perilous moment for the organization www.globaldispatches.org/p/is-the-un-...

1/ I had the opportunity to participate on the sidelines of UN consultations that may eventually lead to a treaty banning Lethal Autonomous Weapons Systems. Basically, these refer to AI-powered killing machines that can select and hunt down targets without meaningful human control.

you’ve heard all about the new pope—now what about selecting the new secular pope? @markleongoldberg.bsky.social & I discuss the race to be the next UN Secretary General, & examine why picking the next chief diplomat is so fraught & messy, with the terrific @richardgowan1.bsky.social.

In a letter to Keir Starmer, the head of MSF-UK says of Gaza: “What we are seeing is consistent with the description of ethnic cleansing and genocide provided by legal experts and human rights organisations.”

This new budget request from the White House sets the United Nations up for failure, with disastrous consequences to ensue. www.globaldispatches.org/p/how-trumps...

We distill the unusually global significance of Canada's elections. With the great @justinling.ca www.globaldispatches.org/p/canadas-ma...

I'm about to go live at the top of the hour with @justinling.ca to discuss the global implications of the Canadian election open.substack.com/live-stream/...

This is the diplomatic equivalent of ripping the foundation from a decade of work at the UN — not just walking away from the table, but flipping it over on the way out. www.globaldispatches.org/p/trump-is-c...

Please join me live at half past the hour for a conversation about the unfolding crisis in Sudan open.substack.com/live-stream/...

I removed the paywall on this piece because, honestly, no one else is covering this story in much depth. www.globaldispatches.org/p/if-the-us-...

This is flying under the radar, but there will be far reaching geopolitical consequences when and if Trump cuts all American support for UN Peacekeeping. www.globaldispatches.org/p/if-the-us-...

Trump’s leaked budget plan kills all U.S. funding for UN Peacekeeping. $1.2B → $0. That’s not a tweak — it’s a torpedo. I’ve covered the UN for 20 years. If peacekeeping collapses, war follows. It won’t make headlines — until it’s too late. www.globaldispatches.org/p/if-the-us-...

New episode examines how Trump's tariffs are reverberating across the UN --> www.globaldispatches.org/p/trumps-tar...

I had an entertaining and thoughtful conversation with @justinling.ca about how Trump is upending Canadian politics and culture just weeks before major elections. www.globaldispatches.org/p/something-...

Going live with @justinling.ca at half past the hour to discuss very strange things happening in Canada right now. open.substack.com/live-stream/...

When a natural disaster strikes somewhere in the world, America usually lends a helping hand. Not now, though. Here's a top official at International Rescue Committee explaining what the earthquake response in Myanmar looks like without American help. www.globaldispatches.org/p/crisis-in-...

I wrote about this very topic a month ago! www.globaldispatches.org/p/how-trumps...

This earthquake in Myanmar is the first big natural disaster to hit in the post-American era of international humanitarian relief. www.globaldispatches.org/p/the-myanma...

The sidelining of Elise Stefanik is really bad news for the UN at pretty much the worst time. www.globaldispatches.org/p/elise-stef...

In our latest "To Save Us From Hell" Episode, @anjalikdayal.bsky.social and I explain the chaos and crisis under way at the UN Refugee Agency and Int'l Org for Migration, as Trump targets these orgs for major funding cuts --> www.globaldispatches.org/p/chaos-and-...

We are seeing the implications of the US foreign aid freeze unfold in real-time. www.globaldispatches.org/p/the-worlds...

I gave a speech to Rotary about the sheer magnitude of the changes unfolding in the international system and the implications for the basic idea that we should all care about one another. www.globaldispatches.org/p/standing-f...

I gave a pretty good speech today to Rotary! www.globaldispatches.org/p/standing-f...

Trump is putting a dagger in the heart of the UN www.globaldispatches.org/p/trump-is-c...

The Trump administration is taking direct aim at UNICEF, positioning one of the world’s most trusted child welfare organizations as its latest target—an attack that carries potentially devastating consequences for millions of children worldwide. www.globaldispatches.org/p/trump-is-c...

"Trump's War on Women Comes to the UN" Banger of an episode of To Save Us From Hell, today --> www.globaldispatches.org/p/trumps-war... CC @anjalikdayal.bsky.social

Now we are siding with the Taliban: At the Security Council this week, the US refused to join Denmark, France, Greece, Guyana, Panama, South Korea, Sierra Leone, Slovenia, and the UK in a joint statement condemning the Taliban’s treatment of women. via @markleongoldberg.bsky.social

South Sudan is on the brink of a full-blown civil war. I’m going live at half past the hour with @CrisisGroup's Senior Analyst for South Sudan @jongethon to discuss what's going on--and how to stop it. Livestream will be available here --> www.globaldispatches.org

Three cheers for a committed trans-atlanticist who routinely stepped up for the reproductive rights and health of women and girls around the world www.nytimes.com/2025/03/12/u...

In today's To Save Us From Hell @anjalikdayal.bsky.social and I will cover the conservative alliance threatening to blow up the commission on the status of women; Trump's attack on the SDGS...and Hope? You can use this 40% off discount link to get the show: www.globaldispatches.org/subscribe?co...

The US was the lynchpin of global efforts to combat TB. Those efforts have stalled or stopped all together. Now, we can expect drug resistant strains of TB to proliferate, and for those cases to pop up in the US with greater frequency. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/11/h...
