Happy Birthday, Malalai Joya! Another year older and still fearlessly calling out injustice—you're the only person we know who can get dismissed from parliament for being too honest. Your courage in confronting war criminals has inspired countless people worldwide; clearly, diplomacy's loss is humanity’s gain!From your powerful speeches to your unwavering stand against corruption and oppression, you've shown us all what true bravery looks like. May this birthday bring you as much joy as discomfort you've caused corrupt politicians everywhere—and may cake be the only thing sugarcoated today. Keep speaking truth loudly—we're cheering you on always!
