I am grateful to @msrachelforlittles.bsky.social for trusting me with her story at this moment of consequence, as she advocates for the children of Gaza and follows in the footsteps of her own childhood hero, Mister Rogers.

Sharing with a gift link:

Ms. Rachel grew up on Mister Rogers. Now she’s carrying on his legacy.
The YouTube star wants her audiences — adults and children alike — to see the humanity of all people.

Can expectations of accountability in cases of human rights violations falter?

In this piece, @jorgepeniche.bsky.social argues that they can — and indeed, they do — in certain gray zones.

The Trump Administration Wants Women Out of the Workforce
Pro-natalism isn’t just about babies. It’s about keeping women at home and out of men’s dominion.

Ahora que Trump asumió la presidencia surgen muchas preguntas. Entre ellas, la de la designación de organizaciones criminales como terroristas: ¿En qué consiste? ¿Y qué implica? @jorgepeniche.bsky.social lo explica acá: eljuegodelacorte.nexos.com.mx/las-organiza...
Las organizaciones criminales en México como terroristas: ¿En qué consiste? ¿Y qué implica?
En 2023 un ambicioso estudio publicado en Science estimó que “los cárteles de la droga” empleaban a entre 160,000 y 185,000 personas en México, con el Cártel Jalisco Nueva Generación (CJNG) y el Cárte...

Jacobus Verduin was a prisoner in Nazi Germany who took an unusual approach to recovering from his trauma. His son learned from him and created a program in the US that's been wildly successful at helping incarcerated men heal, leave prison, and never come back. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
There are many programs trying to reduce recidivism. This one works.
I went to find out why.

Excellent dispatch from @luoach.bsky.social for @newlinesmag.bsky.social on the quest to end impunity in journalist deaths in #Veracruz, #Mexico.

One of my first Forbidden Stories pieces looked into the 2012 murder of Regina Martinez, so this topic is close to my heart.

"only a few [threats] (4%) came from organized crime groups or cartels, while a striking 29% could be traced to public officials, including mayors, municipal councillors, police officers and security forces."

This is stellar reporting from @luoach.bsky.social on journalism in #Mexico. A must read!
Absolutely fascinating story that shifts the focus from Mexico’s journalists-as-victims to the possibility of journalist-designed solutions to the violence targeting them (and the State’s failure to address it).
Very happy to share this story out today in @newlinesmag.bsky.social about an innovative program to prevent journalists’ murders in the deadliest state for reporters in Mexico.

Give it a read!
