Four more colleagues killed in Gaza.
"Dagga... frequently based herself at Nasser, most recently reporting on the hospital’s doctors struggling to save children from starvation."
Deliberately targeting journalists is a war crime. How can this still be happening?
Four journalists were killed by an Israeli strike on a Gaza hospital today, including Mariam Dagga, a freelancer with the @apnews.com. She has a 12-year-old son, who was evacuated from Gaza earlier in the war.

She was a true hero, like all of our Palestinian colleagues in Gaza.

Barely an hour ago, Palestinian journalist Anas Al-Sharif warned us all:

“If this madness doesn’t end, Gaza will be reduced to ruins, its people’s voices silenced, their faces erased — and history will remember you as silent witnesses to a genocide you chose not to stop.”

Israel just killed him.

"27 pizzas in an armored convoy" feels like the peak expression of US humanitarianism.
While all of Gaza starves and the entry of aid is prohibited, American mercenaries with the assistance of an IDF armored convoy are able to bring Domino’s pizza in when they feel like it.

My body really hurts, I have no more strength, there is no food to give me energy, I can't squeeze my hand to close it, let alone how my child feels, I don't know he can't tell me because of the spasms he has a speech delay, oh my suffering.

While W. E. B. Du Bois was traveling in newly independent Ghana in 1963, the State Department refused to renew his passport, effectively annulling his United States citizenship.

The American civil rights icon became a Ghanaian citizen and died there later that year.

At the very height of the McCarthy era, he tried to keep alive a free and open debate about American military, economic, and foreign policy.

This is in Haaretz. If you recounted a Palestinian’s account of this fact in the United States, you’d likely be fired
"In Gaza, human shields are used by Israeli soldiers at least six times a day...Today, almost every platoon keeps a "shawish," and no infantry force enters a house before a "shawish" clears it. This means there are four "shawishes" in a company, twelve in a battalion, at least 36 in a brigade. 1/4

This is great, but sadly most ACT UP chapters outside of New York have disbanded.

Here's my piece on the suggestions ACT UP LA activists have for people forming new groups. Especially relevant as Trump plans massive HIV prevention funding cuts.

"[P]olice killed someone once every 6 and a half hours on average ... There were only 10 days in 2024 that no one in the U.S. was killed by police, researchers observed. However, the report notes that it's possible there were killings [on those 10 days] that were not publicly reported."
Police killed at least 1,365 people in the U.S. in 2024, making it the deadliest year on record. Black and Indigenous people were disproportionately targeted with both groups roughly 3 times more likely to be killed by police than white people.
Report: US Police Killed Someone Every 6.5 Hours on Average in 2024
Police killings hit a record high last year, with Black and Indigenous people disproportionately targeted.
