I feel this every day. It's barbaric.
I really don't know how to process the fact that so many powerful people are still, STILL silent about this. So many people with the money and platform to make a huge difference to the lives of starving children are simply choosing not to. www.mohammedmhawish.com/p/were-starv...

I'm running a retreat in Colombia in September and I'm looking to invite (free of charge, I'll pay travel) a few Colombian artists/designers to participate.
Ideally you'd have a practice (or interests) that align with the themes of the retreat - birds, biodiversity, place-based data art.

one of the ways you know this is a genocide is that the news is never "IDF wins a battle" or "IDF secures new territory"

Robert F Kennedy Jr is not a vaccine skeptic. Reporters and editors who’ve decided it’s somehow more fair to call him one instead of the anti-vaccine activist and lawyer he is should stop mischaracterizing him so… in the pursuit of accuracy.

Israel attacking Iran and Iran attacking back has driven Israeli leaders underground and required US media to gingerly note the IDF maintains underground bases in “populated areas”. I wrote about this awkward fact and US media’s racist and cheesy “human shields” double standard.

If you are concerned that RFK Jr.'s FDA chief Marty Makary is limiting the Novavax COVID booster to those over 65 or with underlying conditions, and may do the same for Pfizer/Moderna as well, consider leaving a comment as well.

You have three days, starting today, to leave a public comment with the FDA about, say, why COVID-19 boosters should remain available to everyone and also free. "Individual consumer" is the category you most likely want (unless you are one of the other categories; if so, choose that).

Republicans tacked the so-called “nonprofit killer” onto the end of their tax proposal. The legislation would give presidential administrations the ability to revoke groups’ nonprofit status by deeming them “terrorist supporting organizations” with virtually no recourse or due process.
