My name is Kawthar, and I'd like to introduce you to my family. We've been displaced by the war, and now we lack everything. I have a chronic illness, and my husband needs a hearing aid. Please help us feed our children and get medical care.

The enslaved man who popularised mac and cheese
The baked dish is one of the US's most popular foods, but its rise can likely be traced back to an enslaved Black chef who worked for Thomas Jefferson.

The first time terrorists used planes to attack Americans wasn’t on 9/11 or at Pearl Harbor. It was the Tulsa Race Massacre of 1921 when white supremacists flew a dozen planes to drop turpentine or nitroglycerin bombs on Black Americans.

Viola Fletcher was there.

If anyone can pitch in so I get my medicine tomorrow, please let me know. I pay for my meds out of pocket.

I need to get a new allergy med and an inhaler for my asthma, but don't have the funds.

May she Rest in Peace…
Viola Fletcher carried the truth of Tulsa—what was taken, destroyed, and never reconciled.

In today’s edition of Let’s Address This, I reflect on her legacy and the stark connection between the disinformation and violence that was used to spread hate back then, to how it’s still employed today.

Sickening and criminal kidnapping of a child. How do you recover from this?
Emmanuel, a 15-year-old with intellectual disabilities, wandered away from his mom’s fruit stand in October.

She reported him missing to Houston police. But instead of reuniting them, the city turned him over to ICE.

“They’re failing all of us,” his mom said.

Last night on the red carpet I was asked about the best book I’ve read this year and I babbled nonsensically trying to remember the title. This always happens. I need to make a little list I carry around. The book I MEANT to say was The Bang Bang Sisters by Rio Youers.

For all its intricate premeditation, “Sound of Falling” feels entirely instinctual. “It’s been a while since I’ve seen a filmmaker wield the tools of her craft with such an ingenious and committed sense of mischief,” @justincchang.bsky.social writes. https://newyorkermag.visitlink.me/zXLPKi
The Ghosts of Girlhoods Past in “Sound of Falling”
