Sudan can seem like two well-armed egos battling it out while the Sudanese people starve, but this excellent article by @nisrinelamin.bsky.social gives essential context for - "A hunger crisis triggered by the current war but decades in the making" transitionmagazine.fas.harvard.edu/the-politics...

"Their government encouraged workers like them to find jobs in Saudi Arabia & send their savings back to Kenya... they faced abuse, exploitation and neglect...They had children outside of marriage. & now they are trapped." www.nytimes.com/2025/11/10/w... By Vivian Nereim and @lattif.bsky.social

In personal news, I nailed it with Arepa de Huevo this morning. 🇨🇴🇻🇪😋

Hammurabi's Code's clearly demands a rye for rye for sandwich guy. Hambarrassing.

Mamdani's victory wasn't only a repudiation of an old and exhausted political establishment in the city, it was also a triumph over the framing power of the political press, and none more so than the New York Times, whose coverage and editorials worked relentlessly to dampen his appeal.

This just sucks. RIP Teen Vogue, long live Lex McMenamin!

Literal dehumanization. I work with young refugees in camps who earn money by taking photos & making videos for NGOs. They are stealing vital income from the people they are supposedly raising money to help... just so they can post a “Photorealistic kid in refugee camp” without parental consent.

I'm really curious what realignment Raila's passing will bring about. GenZ is an emerging constituency for opposition politicians to court and the youth movement's commitment to being both "tribeless" and "leaderless" make it hard to predict what comes next. @nanjala.bsky.social's question is key

"the United States should avoid “the concentration of non-native citizens” in order to promote assimilation." The reason immigrants have historically adapted and integrated well is in VERY large part due to enclaves. My people came to NYC b/c that's where they knew people who could get them work

"Trump administration is expected to announce the smallest ever refugee resettlement program for the coming fiscal year, aiming to welcome just 7,500 people." Something overlooked, resettled refugees are stabilizing influences on their country of origin: www.thenewhumanitarian.org/news-feature...

I love this. Reminds me of the incredible Emergency Response Rooms in Sudan. They are demonstrating that community, solidarity and mutual aid not only provide an organizing structure pushing for change but a model for future governance. www.thenewhumanitarian.org/in-depth/mut...

🇲🇦 VIDEO: 'Clear demands': young Moroccans sustain week of protests Youth-led protests demanding reforms to public healthcare and education take place in Morocco's capital Rabat for a seventh day in a row.

There are "GenZ" protests in Kenya, Bangladesh, Nepal and now Morocco. These deliberately leaderless youth movements share the same message: Stop stealing our future! Start respecting our human rights! Authoritarianism is on the rise, but it seems, so are the youth! apnews.com/article/moro...

Believers in the free press have begun a 24/7 vigil as Madonna-like tears start flowing miraculously down the cheeks of a statue at the Walter Cronkite Memorial in St. Joseph Missouri.

Does anyone know of grants for travel & accommodations for people from the Global South to be able to attend policy forums? Working with some folks on a great opportunity to host a panel, but it's unfunded and my colleagues are current and former displaced people. Any help is appreciated.

There's the People's World Cup and then there's FIFA's World Cup. I wonder how the sponsors feels about the emerging backlash, presumably coming from the very customers they want to reach with their sponsor dollars... Coca-Cola, Adidas, Hyundai, Visa, how you feeling?

Love this. We need to act in community to FEEL and know we are not alone. To do it with joy watching Trinity Rodman and Gift Monday tearing it up on the field seems like the a really good way to remind yourself that you are part of much larger community who believes in human dignity and rule of law

This is the disgusting cruelty we are able to witness. The cruelty they hide in the detention centers is even more vile than this assault that was captured on camera. All of it under the color of law. www.justice.gov/crt/deprivat...
