Year ends w the heavy awareness that power trumps ethics & justice. Every layer - personal, national, global - is a microcosm playing to the same rules. Power is the winning hand & no cost is too large to be paid by those on the other side. Heart with #Gaza as the year closes šŸ’”

What is unusual is not her experience, but the fact that she chose to resign publicly for it. Global statistics show that most women face such large penalties for reporting that they leave their workplaces quietly, allowing the perpetrators to continue operating with impunity.

Men will spend a lifetime asking women why they didn’t register a complaint against their sexual harasser. They’ll ignore all the examples of when speaking up caused a woman more trauma than remaining quiet, when it caused her to quit her job, her passion, her everything.

How do we control vehicular emissions in Lahore? Take a look at the evidence from other contexts. Odd-even number plate policy didn’t really work in India. Plate-based vehicular restrictions in Mexico City did nothing either—in fact, led to more polluting vehicles. \1

On @MSNBC last night, @chrislhayes asked me how the rest of the world heard Joe Biden's speech. I pointed out that a lot of people around the world do see the Israelis as the ones behaving like Russia in Ukraine - occupying, annexing, dropping bombs. https://t.co/DVOj2EOWch
