Millions of Afghan girls are denied an education while American universities debate “Islamic feminism.” The contrast couldn't be starker.
More than 2.4 million Afghan girls are shut out of school by religious decree, while American universities teach "Islamic feminism" as coursework.
@Ayaan asks: where is the department of Islamic feminism in Kabul?

Well, I waddle outta bed, and I’m ready for some fishin’
Score myself some salmon nutrition
Chomp and chew and live the FAT BEAR life.
Dip in the water and the salmon start jumpin’
Out on the bank, my belly starts plumpin’
With bears like me at the falls from 9 to 5!

I reread this every year.
I cry like a baby every year.
Todd Beamer died a father, husband, and hero.
Todd: Hello… Operator… listen to me. I can’t speak very loud. This is an emergency. I’m a passenger on a United flight to San Francisco. Our plane has been hijacked.
Lisa: I understand. Can they see you?
Todd: No. There are three that we know of. They have knives — razor knives, like box cutters. Someone announced from the cockpit there was a bomb. It sounded fake.
Lisa: Your name?Todd: Todd Beamer. United Flight 93.Todd: They killed one passenger in first class. They forced most of us back. Fourteen of us here. Five flight attendants. The guy with the bomb ordered us to sit on the floor.
Lisa: Are you okay?
Todd: We’re going down… wait. No. We’re leveling off. We changed directions. We’re flying east again.
Todd: A guy named Jeremy called his wife. She told him two planes hit the World Trade Center. Lisa, is that true?
Lisa: I have to tell you the truth. It’s very bad. Both towers are gone. A third plane hit the Pentagon. Our country is under attack. I’m afraid your plane may be part of their plan.
Todd: Oh God. Lisa, will you do something for me? Call my wife and my kids. Promise me you’ll call.
Lisa: I promise.
Todd: Our home number is… You have the same name as my wife. Lisa. We’ve been married ten years. She’s pregnant with our third child. Tell her I love her. I’ll always love her. We have two boys — David, he’s 3, and Andrew, he’s 1. Tell them their daddy loves them and he is so proud of them. The baby is due January 12th. I saw an ultrasound. We still don’t know if it’s a girl or a boy.
Lisa: I’ll tell them. I promise, Todd.(Lisa patches in the FBI.)
Agent: Todd, your plane is on a course for Washington. Best guess is the White House or the Capitol.
Todd: I understand. I’ll be back.
Todd: Everyone knows this isn’t a normal hijacking. We have decided we will not be pawns in their plot.
Lisa: What are you going to do?
Todd: Four of us are going to rush the one with the bomb. Then the cockpit. A stewardess is getting boiling water. We’ll take them out.
Todd: Would you pray with me?They pray the Lord’s Prayer. Then: Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for thou art with me.
Todd: God help me. Jesus help me.Are you guys ready? Let’s Roll.

Keep in mind how many billions in taxpayer dollars have been spent to “save the salmon” only to also have billions of our dollars kill fish. Our government is incompetent.
The world's first light rail line over a floating bridge is inadvertently killing fish in Lake Washington, and now Sound Transit is scrambling to find a solution.
It's unclear how many fish have died and how long the problem has existed since the Crosslake Connection first opened on March 28, linking Seattle to the Eastside along the I-90 floating bridge.
"On August 3, we were alerted by our partners at the Washington State Department of Transportation to some number of deceased fish in the vicinity of the I-90 floating bridge," said Sound Transit CEO Dow Constantine on Thursday.

Far far more must be said about this important post. Many Muslim and African countries practice genital mutilation and the psychic trauma is population-wide: traumatized moms raise traumatized children.
Back in college I knew two Egyptian ladies doing their Masters at my school. Both married, well-educated, well-traveled. Yet, both had their own daughters go through the Female Genital Mutilation (the full version - where they literally cut off the entire clitoris and sew up the labia leaving just a small opening) and both saw NO problem with it. It was so shocking to me at the time. One was even proud of it. The other was just like "I had to, or else they wouldn't be able to find husbands in the future." I avoided talking to them ever since. I do not judge them personally, but I just simply could not bear the thought of their daughters whenever I saw them.
Mutilating a person's body, almost inevitably leads to mutilating their mind. That's why so many cultures are messed up for centuries. Back in imperial/feudal China, starting form Tang Dynasty (7th-10th centuries), majority of women had to bind their feet - please look it up if you're not familiar with this practice, and many men were castrated in order to become Eunuchs in court. These practices bred a culture of self-loath and hate for everyone and each other.
Those who advocate fiercely for mutilating children, have an agenda worse than our benign wish that they just "care about marginalized people". It has all been done before and the end result is always the same - mass hysteria on an uncontrollable scale.

We have to start accepting that abortion is a slippery slope. Once you feel you have the right to kill your child at the moment of birth, where do you draw the line? And every year more women are minted who will drive themselves crazy trying to deny the guilt and longing they feel deep inside. They are to be pitied because they have been lied to, but they also are a liability.

"Hypocrisy, ignorance, cowardice?" asks AHA Foundation's Director of Policy and Women's Programs, Michele Hanash, on why child marriage often escapes scrutiny as what it truly is: between 2000 and 2021, nearly 315,000 minors were married in the U.S., some as young as 10, and at least 66,415 of those marriages involved an age gap that should have constituted a sex crime. As Michele puts it, "When we refuse to call this what it is, we make it easier to ignore and harder to prevent."

Ayaan has a message: oppression cloaked in religion or culture deserves the same rejection we'd give any other form of bullying and abuse. There's no rationale, twisted or otherwise, that makes violence against women acceptable. AHA Foundation stands firm on this line, no exceptions. Join us.
