Gisèle Pelicot walking to take the stand today, her strength echoing in every step: “It’s not for us to have shame, it’s for them,” she told the court. "I want all women who have been raped to say: Madame Pelicot did it, I can too. I don't want them to be ashamed any longer,"

Holy cow. This is University of Wisconsin, Madison, where hundreds of young people are marching to polls with Yung Gravy, a hugely popular rapper among young people. This is huge. Gen Z are alright & turning out like never before. Amazing.

Hard not to tear up listening to this today. Hits especially hard in Russian.
Alexey Navalny, telling Russians not to give up when asked what he would tell them in the event he’s killed. From Daniel Roher’s 2022 film “Navalny.”

I woke up to the sad news that Hon. Joyce Mpanga, the first minister of Women in Development in Uganda and a true pioneer in women's rights, has died. I am fortunate to have been able to see her one last time last year in Uganda.
