church statement on the Palm Sunday bombing of Ahli Arab Baptist hospital in Gaza.
Let’s hope the entire global Anglican communion speaks out against the genocide. World-wide coordination is precisely what denominational institutions are for.

I do not know why the earth hasn’t stopped turning when there is so much violence and so many people living at gunpoint.

yesterday was Senegal's independence day 🇸🇳.
A day late, here's Ousmane Sembène's adaptation of a popular song composed (in Lingala) about Patrice Lumumba (first prime minister of the DRC, assassinated in 1961). For Sembène, Senegal's independence was linked to the independence of all of Africa.

CBS News coverage, by Kathryn Watson, of Trump's comments about taking over Gaza is truly inadequate and bad journalism: zero mention that this would be illegal.
Most mainstream outlets in the US can't even report through a basic framework of democracy and rule of law, let alone human rights.
