We are deeply concerned by a State’s use of the word “witch” to attack a UN expert in her report to the #UNGA80 3rd Committee. Misogynistic gendered insults have no place in international dialogue and undermine women’s equality and the integrity and independence of UN mandates.

It's Prison Banned Books Week — a week dedicated to shining a light on the widespread denial of incarcerated people's freedom to read.

We all have a First Amendment right to read and receive information, in and out of prison. Censorship has no place in a democracy.

Rural women feed nations, care for the land, and sustain communities, yet they remain among the most marginalized groups, facing profound violations of their fundamental human rights.

UN experts urge governments to act now to uphold their rights and dignity.

Not only is our new acting director of the CDC NOT a scientist, but he also has deep ties to Peter Thiel and Silicon Valley’s techno-utopia movement.

One epidemiologist compared Jim O’Neill’s appointment to “making Elon Musk head of the FAA.”

California lawmakers reach an agreement with Uber and Lyft that will open the door for app-based drivers to form unions.

This is a victory for organized labor that could lay the groundwork for similar efforts in other states.

These are lovely!
A little while ago, my parents' cat Bridget went missing. As the weeks dragged on, they became extremely worried. My dad devised a way to distract himself: he began to paint Bridget's adventures, imagining her travelling through time and popping up in some of art and music's most iconic scenes.
