Dr. Katrina Lee-Koo put together a fantastic Editor's Collection for RIS on the Women, Peace, and Security agenda. Resolution 1325 was passed 25 years ago and these articles reflect on where we came from, and what is still missing ⤵️

🚨New online! "Preventing & countering violent extremism: the logics of women’s participation" by @queenietomaro.bsky.social, on participation of women in security spaces, using the Philippines as case study. ⬇️ #openaccess #academicpublishing #internationalsecurity
www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....
BSTRACT Women’s participation in preventing and countering extremist violence is increasingly prioritised in international, regional and national policies on Preventing/Countering Violent Extremism (P/ CVE), after the adoption of United Nations Security Council Resolution 2242 (2015). It is crucial to analyse how local policies construct women’s participation in local P/CVE, considering influences from international and regional discourses. This paper delves into the discourses on women’s participation in P/CVE, seeking to explore the deeper logics that inform their involvement in the P/CVE strategy of the Philippines. This research unfolds in three distinct steps. First, a review of existing literature on women and P/CVE. Second, I discuss the theoretical and analytical approach of the research. Finally, I trace the discourses on women’s participation within the nineteen policies and identified three logics: logics of protection, political agency, and religion. Studies on the discourses on women in P/CVE policies allow us to interrogate the deeply seated assumptions towards women in security spaces and how these assumptions shape the participation spaces for women in extremist violence prevention work. Keywords: violent extremism; Phillippines; gender.

Something odd here.

CBS News confirms other media reports: "Hegseth has issued a directive to U.S. Cyber Command to pause planning against Russia, including offensive digital actions."

The CBS News then notes that National Security Advisor Michael Waltz said he's unaware of the directive.
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has paused cyber offensive against Russia
The change comes amid President Trump's efforts to negotiate an end to the Russia-Ukraine war.

The overall story is of young Germans rejecting the established centre-right and centre-left, but while young men are shifting to both populist flanks, young women are shifting overwhelmingly to the populist left.

NEW: updated long-run gap in voting between young men and women in Germany:

Gender divide continues to widen, but contrary to what is often assumed, young men continue to vote roughly in line with the overall population, while young women have swung sharply left.

🧵 This UN resolution vote on Ukraine is worth paying attention to. A brief thread on the Trump administration's bullying under way in the background. www.washingtonpost.com/world/2025/0...
U.S. pressures Kyiv to replace U.N. resolution condemning Russia
The Trump administration wants Ukraine’s resolution withdrawn and replaced with a toned-down version that officials feel is overly sympathetic to Russia.

Community update: 3 strangers gather together on a sunny Brisbane evening walk. “Careful, I think I saw a snake”. “Is it dead or alive?”. “I think alive”. “How about I go first & one of you watch out?”. “Ok, but walk by on the road. We will watch out for cars”. “Argh! It’s real. Brown and grumpy”.
