Gaza doctors ‘becoming too weak to treat patients’ as hunger crisis deepens

In Nothing More of This Land, Aquinnah Wampanoag writer Joseph Lee takes readers past the celebrity summer scene and into the heart of Noepe, the name his people have called the island for centuries.

My book, Nothing More of This Land, is out today! It’s an exploration of Indigenous identity from my Wampanoag homelands on Martha’s Vineyard to Indigenous land around the world. Get yours at your favorite bookstore or via the link in my bio!! 🌊🐋

As “Jaws” turns 50, remember the blockbuster’s tourism boom has priced out the Aquinnah Wampanoag from Martha’s Vineyard — their home for over 10,000 years, writes @josephvlee.bsky.social. Read: people.com/jaws-anniver...

Some exciting news! @josephvlee.bsky.social feature for @vox.com has won First Place Best Feature Story in the Professional Division III category at the 2025 @indigenousja.bsky.social Media Awards!

Congrats, Joseph!

SCOOP—Emails obtained by @zeteo.com show Mahmoud Khalil reached out for help from the Columbia administration *one day before* ICE detained him.

He said he couldn't sleep from threats he was receiving.
He even wrote that he feared ICE "might come to my home."

Mahmoud Khalil has been quietly sent 1000+ miles away to a Louisiana ICE facility.

Note this ACLU/RFK Human Rights report from *just months ago* on ICE detention in LA —

"Inside the Black Hole: Systemic Human Rights Abuses Against Immigrants Detained & Disappeared in Louisiana"

this weekend I wrote about Sam Nordquist, and the infuriating way the media and other authorities have treated his murder

400+ years after the "First Thanksgiving" most Americans have no idea that the Wampanoag people are still here. My tribe, the Aquinnah Wampanoag, is on Martha's Vineyard and we're still fighting for our land and rights. We’re also doing some cool stuff. 🧵👇 if you’d like to learn more & support us

Excited to share this story by @josephvlee.bsky.social for @vox.com that places #LandBack in the larger context for our planet.
