Secondary education has recently been banned for girls in Afghanistan, and the recent university ban means girls can now not go past 6th grade. Now it appears that females are banned from working in schools, signaling a ban on girls’ education altogether.
Can you imagine what it is like to be a female in a country ruled by religious fundamentalists? We see the creeping influence of religious fundamentalism around the world and in the US as well. This is real.
Let's get a jump on the #newyear #newyou bullshit early.
As with birthdays, nothing magical happens when the calendar flips. Like a car odometer turning over 10,000 kilometers.
Year-end is loosely based on winter #solstice in the northern hemisphere. It's arbitrary and Jan. 1 is just another day.
Problems / opportunities are rooted in decade and century-long trends. So meet the new year, same as the old year.
#Resolutions don't work, either. Who you are is what you do, without fail 24/7/365.
First came the burqas, bans on movement without a male relative, and now this ban on university education, which seems like the end for women. Yet I wonder what will be next.

The Taliban has banned Afghan women from university education. The hopes and dreams of women to pursue educations, careers, and lives of independence are over. Forever. This hits me hard.
Afghan women and girls now have zero futures. They will essentially be enslaved.
It is incomprehensible that females will not be allowed the freedom of making choices with their lives.

It seems like this should be a bigger deal.
'Premeditated': Jan. 6 committee says Trump ‘planned to declare victory’ regardless of outcome
In a critically important moment during the U.S. House Select Committee on the January 6 Attack‘s final hearing, Congresswoman Zoe Lofgren (D-CA) announced that Donald Trump’s false claims of winning the election on election night and after were part of a “premeditated” plan to stay in office.“Begin...
I can’t even believe this. 😦
The level of ignorance or intentional deception here is jaw-dropping. The entire civilian leadership of the Pentagon was decapitated and replaced with Mike Flynn operatives AFTER the election. Miller, Cohen, Patel and Tata were there to make sure Trump stayed president.
Not only that, Mike Flynn’s brother Charles literally prevented the NG from going to the Capitol for THREE HOURS. JFC.
