Black graphic with a photo of Former Secretary of the Interior Deb Haaland posing near a van that reads "Columbus was lost." The graphic reads "It is indigenous resilience and worldview that every government, country and community can learn from so that we manage our lands, waters and resource, not just across budget years, but across generations." This quote is attributed to Deb Haaland, 54th United States Secretary of the Interior.

"lydiakiesling [via IG]: I have written for the NYT in various sections since 2014 and it was one of the most exciting moments of my professional life when I first had a byline with the magazine. Since then the paper has supplied the majority of my freelance income, because they are one of the few places that has money to spend and a single long magazine piece there can pay $10,000--almost unheard of anywhere else. In our denuded national media landscape something like 8 percent of American journalists are employed there. I say all this only to convey that, although I know it's craven, I wrestled with severing the connection to a financial lifeline that is known as "the paper of record" and also employs people I care about and respect across its many sections. But I can't pretend not to see the way the paper has played the role of stenographer for the IDF, or used language to emphasize the humanity of Israeli civilians while turning murdered Palestinians into faceless groups, or allowed Bret Stephens to treat genocide like a matter of personal sentiment. Freelancers are important for maintaining this storied institution. I'm not so naive to imagine even 300 people will make a difference, but we won't know if we don't try. If you're a writer, learn more and sign on at the link in my stories. I sign in remembrance of the many murdered Palestinian journalists and novelists and poets who will never again have the choice." "No Opinion I REFUSE TO WRITE FOR THE OPINION SECTION OF THE NEW YORK TIMES UNTIL THESE DEMANDS ARE MET." with a red arrow "THE NYT MUST: Conduct a review of anti-Palestinian bias in the newsroom and produce new editorial standards for Palestine coverage. Retract the widely debunked investigation "Screams Without Words." Publish an editorial calling for a U.S. arms embargo on Israel." "Join the Boycott GENOCIDE IS NOT A MATTER OF OPINION.

A Case of CLEAR VISION: # 25-cv-12174

US District Court Judge AM Perry is a good writer: clear, deft, eloquent, with even an occasional nod toward levity. Reading her opinion is highly informative, and, I find, actually enjoyable. And the thing is, IT MATTERS.
