Colombe Cahen-Salvador

I’m sick of selective feminism. Too many only stand in solidarity based on who the aggressor is. Standing with women means their right to live free of genocide, of oppression, of violence. Everywhere. All the time.

And that’s just the pre-requirement. She must be a feminist, anti-genocide, anti-imperialism and willing to go against superpowers to change the UN and the world.

Those are portraits of previous UN Chiefs. Do you see the problem? No, I’m not talking about me at the end, but what it represents ⤵️

80 years of United Nations, 80 years of men at its helm. Practice what you preach: the next UN chief must be a woman.

Trump demands 'unconditional surrender' amid Iran-Russia talks The president also calls on Tehran to pick new leaders who are "acceptable" to the White House after six days of war.

Once more, Trump says he will be the leader of another country, after attacking it and killling people. In which world do we live for countries & the UN to just accept this?! www.bbc.com/news/article...

Finland plans to lift decades-old ban on hosting nuclear weapons The government says the nation's defence environment has "significantly changed" since Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

It’s insane. A safe world is one where we eliminate all nuclear weapons, not sure we expand the arsenal or lift restrictions! www.bbc.com/news/article...

A photo of Jimmy Lai looking towards camera and writing that says "Hong Kong court sentences Jimmy Lai to 20 years"

🚨BREAKING: British citizen & Hong Kong pro-democracy activist Jimmy Lai sentenced to 20 yrs in prison.

Lai was charged with “collusion with a foreign country or external elements” under the Beijing's National Security Law. In reality, his case is an attack on press freedom & freedom of expression.

Occupation. Apartheid. Genocide. The murder of over 800 Palestinian athletes.

Israel, just like Russia, should have been banned from those #olympics.

I seriously hope people boycott them.

#Unite4Survival: Endorse our bid for UN Secretary General | Endorse our bid for UN Secretary General Atlas is running to elect the next United Nations leader. Colombe Cahen-Salvador, Atlas’ co-founder, is their candidate for the 2026 selection process. #Unite4Survival

That’s why I’m running, to shed light on this broken and undemocratic system! Support it here✊ www.atlasmovement.org/unite4survival

In the midst of genocide, climate collapse and growing inequalities, it’s easy to forget that the UN 🇺🇳 is currently choosing its next Chief. Behind closed doors. In a process that reflects everything that’s wrong with the system and enables the world’s disasters to keep on happening.

#UNRWA “supports the relief and human development of Palestinian refugees”.

& this happened while an Israeli official urged the assassination and expulsion of UNRWA employees from Jerusalem.

The UN Chief must put himself physically on the line.
Our representatives must use all their political clout to stop the genocide.
We must keep the pressure on.

The world’s madness is meant to overwhelm us and make us look away.
No bullsh*t colonial boards, empty talks, or posturing will stop this.
Israel keeps colonising land, committing genocide, and destroying international law.
We need sanctions, embargoes, a protection force, and aid in.

🧵

I don’t even know where to start. Palestine’s future is for Palestinians to decide and govern. alone. Insane to even have to say this.

Then, do we even need to get into Trump being chairman for life, selling seats on the colonial imperialistic board and so on?!

Despite years of genocide, the EU 🇪🇺 has not suspended its Association Agreement with Israel, the backbone of EU trade.
We are complicit, but we have power.

Sign the European Citizens’ Initiative to force suspension ✍️ citizens-initiative.europa.eu/initiatives/...

While many Western media focus all their reporting on Iran and fail to mention Gaza, don't be fooled: the genocide continues, and the situation gets worse by the day as winter storms destroy tents. Yes: Israel is still blocking aid, shelter etc!

Clashes in Syria's Aleppo deepen rift between government, Kurdish forces Fierce fighting in Syria's northern city of Aleppo between government forces and Kurdish fighters drove thousands of civilians from their homes on Wednesday, with Washington reported to be mediating a de-escalation.

A country that blows up foreign fishing boats for no reason is one that will shoot its own citizens for no reason.

The right to protest is under attack in the United Kingdom. 

In a new report, HRW documents that the UK’s Labour government has failed to reverse sweeping anti-protest laws introduced by the previous Conservative government.

I know Trump doesn’t have a moral compass, but can someone get the crayons 🖍️ & explain it to him like a child?

UK and France to send troops to Ukraine if peace deal agreed with Russia The announcement was made by UK PM Sir Keir Starmer after a meeting of Ukraine's allies in Paris.

It's good to see France & the UK standing by #Ukraine if Russia ever signs a peace deal.

All countries should support those being invaded, occupied. But they should do so systematically, not when convenient. Where is #Palestine's protection force?! www.bbc.com/news/article...

Survivors recount RSF gang rape in Sudan; infants among victims Survivors tell Al Jazeera of systematic RSF gang rape in Sudan as doctor confirms infants listed among victims.

When will the world impose an arms embargo on Sudan, and care enough to stop this madness?! www.aljazeera.com/features/202...

Israel’s continued attacks on Lebanon could derail Hezbollah disarmament Analysts believe Hezbollah will not accept the disarmament's second phase as long as Israel continues attacking Lebanon.

"Israel has consistently bombed Lebanon and conducted drone strikes despite a United States-brokered ceasefire in November 2024. 10,000 ceasefire violations by the Israelis, including 7,500 airspace violations and 2,500 ground violations." www.aljazeera.com/features/202...

No more empty condemnations: the UN 🇺🇳 & all countries must MAKE Israel stop its genocide and reverse the ban. Sanction, impose embargoes, send a protection force, break the blockade!

Israel has revoked the operating licences of 37 aid groups, such as Doctors Without Borders. This means hundreds of thousands of Palestinians will be further cut out from life saving care.

This remains true from Venezuela to Palestine, from Ukraine to Sudan!

However Russia now talking about international law is just sickening. When yourself are invading another country, don't lecture others.

Colombia 🇨🇴 at the #UN Security Council's meeting on #Venezuela: "LATAM proclaimed to be a zone of peace & this collective commitment must be respected. Unilateral action ↘️ stability, ↗️ insecurity & worsens the complex situation being faced by the civilian population."

Call me old school but I miss the times when countries at least pretended to give a sh*t about International Law. We were a step closer to actually having international law.

"But resisting the violation of rules and insisting on adherence, even if certainly in vain, is how norms are established and then maintained. Lying low and hoping that this too shall pass is cowardice, denial and historical illiteracy." very well said
