This Wednesday marks the *10 YEAR* anniversary of First Draft Book Club at @changinghands.bsky.social. The only thing I've ever stayed committed to for 10 years before is a cat. It's one of the great joys of my life to read and discuss books with my community

It's worth saying she's one of only three people in this role to have actually been a librarian, not to mention that this is not in the executive branch's purview.
Dr Carla Hayden, our Librarian of Congress that Trump summarily fired today is a great librarian, a great public servant and we have been lucky to have her.

Famine in Sudan and Gaza…completely human made. The US has its hands in both.
My parents survived a famine in northern Viet Nam that killed a million people in 1945. That was induced by Japanese occupiers and French colonizers.
I can’t believe this history is being repeated.

You know that if the New York Times is reporting this, then the situation is extremely dire. Palestinians have been saying for months that famine is happening due to Israel’s siege. That is a war crime, Israel is the agent, the US is the sponsor, and American taxpayers are rendered complicit.

In this piece, published first in Italian and then in English in Zeteo, I put this betrayal into the context of a longer history of the United States betraying its allies and its own people—usually nonwhite.
