Like thousands of other Gazans, my friend Zaineb's family has been without food for a week. Despite this, she continues to help children, call for justice and, as a journalist, report on the horrors around her.

I love that a politician can say something like “I believe mice naturally spawn out of grain” and the news will now just treat that as a legitimate line of thought
Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. apparently embraces the outdated "miasma theory" of disease instead of the widely accept "germ theory" of disease, which may help explain some of the actions he's been taking.
Ancient miasma theory may help explain Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s vaccine moves

100 years ago today, Tony Benn was born.
This is from 2009 when he defied the BBC’s ban on a humanitarian appeal for Palestine.
For 77 years, Israel has killed & displaced Palestinians & the BBC continues to dehumanise them. Benn saw this injustice clearly & stood against it 🇵🇸
