My latest investigation goes deep on what it takes to support the expansion of Belize's marine protected areas as part of the 2021 Blue Bond. It looks at the work and innovations taking place as the country aims to protect 30% by 2026.

What’s draining tax dollars isn’t SNAP, it’s corporate welfare and billionaire tax breaks.
FACT: Even people working two jobs still need SNAP.
Where’s the outrage about that?!

The image of the US as a beacon of democracy and freedom was always a myth but this video shows how quickly people will normalize the kidnapping of others because intervening would be inconvenient.

I'm shaking almost too hard to type. I entered SLC airport and heard screams and cries for help. I could see people gathered around, watching. I sped over to discover this woman face down on the floor, four grown men pushing her down, while she cried "HELP ME" and pled for her child.

So glad for felled-Martin getting all this love. I first read her writing in the intro for mirror mirror 2. It led me to her film criticism (the Akira essay being one of my favorites), and now she’s writing acclaimed novels. On top of all that, she curates the best online biweekly film club.
Really proud of this profile Samantha Riedel wrote of me in THEM. We talked about BLACK FLAME, DC comics firing me, Palestine, and real-life community as it relates to the internet.

I have to stress how highly unusual it is for the most powerful military on the planet to be blowing up random boats in international waters.
I can’t help but feel that several criminal charges will ultimately come from these strikes.
It makes far more sense to interdict them.
