#Hope lies in the actions we take today for a better world. 💙🌎💚🕊️🙏🏼 #ActNow #ClimateEmergency #SDGs
Did you know that reducing heat-trapping gas emissions doesn't just slow climate change: it also improves our health; saves food, water, and money; and keeps us safer? Climate solutions aren't a necessary evil: they're a 'no regrets' strategy for a better world.

Karl-Anthony Towns just tied Willis Reed with 11 double-doubles to start a season, most ever by a New York Knick

This is the best version of Karl-Anthony Towns that's ever existed. Some of the passes tonight have been craziness.

Since entering the league during the 2018-19 season, Jalen Brunson is now the seventh player to eclipse 11,000 points, 3,000 assists and 1,000 three-pointers. He joins LeBron James, James Harden, Damian Lillard, Devin Booker, Luka Doncic and Trae Young.

It’s patently absurd to suggest that there’s a criminal predicate here. But even if there were…why exactly would the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Texas be the one to prosecute it?
After the election, @SenBlumenthal & his allies think they can intimidate Americans for their constitutionally protected associations w/ President Trump. Congress is not a weapon to be wielded against the American people. I'm taking the first step to stop this abuse of power.

Federal prosecutors leaned on a one-time bodyguard of Omar's for information about her and when he didn't have what they wanted, they indicted him and then dropped charges after DHS began deportation. Now he's in Kenya, separated from his fiancé. nytimes.com/2026/11/11/us/il…

Govt's arguments in the Broadview 6 case looking a lot like those in JGG (re Venezuelans sent to El Salvador despite court order). DOJ says judges have no choice but to leave allegations of criminal wrongdoing by DOJ up to DOJ.

NEW: Judge Perry says the DOJ’s request is “immaterial.” She has the inherent authority to have a hearing over factual matters, and DOJ doesn’t even represent most of those who will testify, she says. The Justice Department’s credibility crisis with the judiciary keeps growing:
And now we see the real end-game here.. In the latest motion, DOJ's Stan Woodward tells Judge Perry her order that Andrew Boutros and other prosecutors come in and testify is a "Catch-22" and she's better off calling off her inquiry and just leaving it to the Executive Branch:

NEW: The @nytimes confirms that ICE deliberately electronically "disappeared" tens of thousands of people in detention and ordered contractors to refuse to reveal where they're held to family or lawyers. 30% of all immigrants detained in ICE jails now have their location hidden.

I had no idea how fascinated I was by concrete, until David Byrne explained the Pantheon, highway overpasses and self-healing lime clasts. It's all in his predictably unpredictable new book, “Sleeping Beauties: Why Good Ideas Go Dormant and How They Wake Up.”

The @ChathamHouse awarded their annual prize 2026 to the women of Afghanistan. While this recognition from a prestigious organization like the chatum house is a testament to the courage and persistence strength womne in my country have demonstrated and we appreciate @ChathamHouse for that. However, like I said during award ceremony, we must move beyond statements and sympathy, in 21st century, before the world eyes, 20 million plus women are being erased from any public, social, political life by a group that was empowered and helped by some western so called diplomats and their repressive actions continue to be either normalized or even white washed. Like I said in the ceremony, “Taliban will be defeated this time by women, but shame on the those diplomats who don’t see our suffering and instead are delighted for a photo opportunity with them”

In a ceremony this week the women of Afghanistan were awarded the 2026 @ChathamHouse Prize in recognition of their courage and resilience in the face of systematic gender persecution, and for their determination to defend the rights and futures of women and girls. @EliSafdari, the goalkeeper for Afghanistan's Women's National football team, accepted the prize on behalf of the women of Afghanistan. The prize was presented by former Prime Minister and President of Chatham House @theresa_may. As part of the ceremony, @ShaharzadAkbar, @ZahraJoya, @Orzala, Benafsha Yaqoobi and @Fawziakoofi77 spoke with @bbclysedoucet about the challenges facing the women of Afghanistan and how the international community can respond.

🗓️ Day 1,879 since the Taliban banned secondary age girls from getting an education. It is not just girls and young women who lose out from this gender apartheid, but the whole of Afghan society. The Taliban are punishing everyone by not allowing girls to learn and work. You are not forgotten. #LetAfghanGirlsLearn #AfghanWomen
