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.

Whelp they did it. After nearly 60 years of bipartisan support of local public radio, both houses voted in favor of cutting CPB funding. Rural stations will be the most impacted and we’ll start to see stations shuttering as soon as this fall. Donate to your local stations 😢
