My gosh — After Israeli forces tear-gassed this kid, making him collapse, other soldiers then "detained the ambulance carrying Aysam from the Beita Emergency Center to Nablus for several minutes, interrogating the driver about Aysam’s injury, location, and cause before it was allowed to continue."
New — Israeli forces just killed this Palestinian boy.

Last month, he and his family were harvesting olives. Soldiers bombarded them with tear gas, making him collapse.

He was in critical condition until today.

He is the 47th kid killed by Israeli soldiers and settlers in the West Bank this year.

"When it comes to the issue of Palestinian rights going forward, I will say that the younger generation, of both Jews and non-Jews, take seriously the idea that we should have a principled, rights-based foreign policy— something I've long believed in"

Oh, that California, what an expensive hellscape - who’d want to live there. LA is terrible and San Francisco is one giant homeless camp blah blah blah.
It’s gonna fall into the sea someday.

Two-thirds of California's power comes from clean energy.

For 9 in 10 days so far this year, we were 100% powered for some part of the day by clean energy.

The Golden State has become the world's fourth-largest economy because of our climate leadership, not in spite of it.

In Indiana, they have a stand your ground law. So when a 4'11" Guatemalan cleaning lady came to the wrong door with mop and bucket in hand, a terrified man legally shot her through the door, ending her life. A similar incident happened to a young black teen. It never happens to white people. Weird.

Way to paint all nonprofits with the Same shitty brush.
We’re not a monolithic industry.
There are 1.5 million IRS-sanctioned nonprofits.
this is a fascinating article that i've seen some use as a stick to beat "wokeness," and it works well enough as that, but what it really exposes is the rot at the core of the "nonprofit" space
