Wow multiple things going on today to make it an historic day for genital autonomy! An Oregon judge has ruled that plaintiffs have standing to challenge the sex-based exclusion of Oregon's FGM statute on equal protection grounds.

📣 And finally, I’d like to share wise words from Frederick Douglass (1818–1895), African-American social reformer, abolitionist, orator, writer, and statesman:

🗣️ “I prefer to be true to myself, even at the hazard of incurring the ridicule of others, rather than to be false, and to incur my own abhorrence.”

WNBA Incidents Expose Misogyny in Sports Culture

As a coach, an uncle, and a son, I believe we must speak out against the normalization of misogyny. This is bigger than sports—it’s about the dignity and humanity of every woman.

Silence teaches the next generation that power means domination.

… in their homes, workplaces, and public spaces.

🎯Silence teaches the next generation that power means domination.

➡️ We must reject this unequivocally—not just with words, but with our actions. Because true leadership is defined by integrity, and the dignity, safety, and humanity of women are non-negotiable.

Year of the Co-ops

[Read on Ethical Revolution]

Did you know the UN has made 2025 ‘International year of co-operatives’?

Co-ops are democratically owned businesses or organisations, with the co-op’s members in control to meet their shared needs. The members may be customers, employees, residents or suppliers.

All co-ops the world over shares the same 7 principles and 10 values.

Around 40% of the UK’s 7000 co-ops are consumer owned – think credit unions, high street Co-op supermarkets and Your Co-op, while over 350 are worker owned e.g. Essential (Food & Household specialists), Footprint Workers Co-op (Riso printers), Go Free Range (Software development revolutionaries: @freerange), Suma (Food, household, toiletries), Veggies (Catering company: @Veggies) and workers.coop (Federation of worker-led cooperatives: @workers_coop). Others can be multi-stakeholder owned such as Webarchitects (Cloud hosting services).

Examples of international co-ops are cosocial (Non profit social media platform: @coop – Canada), Limeleaf (Software developers: @limeleaf – USA), Nubo (Ethical mail & cloud services: @nubo_coop – Belgium), Ouvaton (Hosting & software services: @ouvaton – France) and Society (Digital technologies: @sociality – Greece).

The Labour government did say in its pre-election manifesto that it would double the size of the co-op sector and mutual economy in the UK, but as with many manifesto pledges I wouldn’t hold your breath.

The 10 official co-operative ‘values’ are:

1. Caring for others
2. Democracy
3. Equity
4. Equality
5. Honesty
6. Openness
7. Self help
8. Self responsibility
9. Solidarity
10. Social responsibility

Your voice matters—use it before they silence others. History reminds us: when one group is dehumanized, others are never far behind.

#Democracy #freedom #history#America#Equality#Humanity#Hate#Immigrants#Unity#Civilrights#Justice#Love

A deeply personal share.

I would love to only post about #fitness, healthy living, and create the illusion that all is well. But that would be dishonest to my principles and values.

Those cheering “Alligator Alcatraz” aren’t just spectators— They’re part of a growing effort to normalize dehumanization through policy, rhetoric, and spectacle.

Some can scroll past this.
I can’t.

📣Our humanity is not negotiable.

🇺🇸🇩🇴 I want to share a quote I reflect on daily. It’s from Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., and it feels more urgent than ever:

🗣️ “…and we must realize that the time is always right to do right.”
—Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., “The Other America,” Stanford University, April 14, 1967

🚨Apathy is a luxury we cannot afford.
