Sudan’s civil war has displaced more than 9.5 million people and left millions at risk of starvation.
Despite the country’s vast natural resources, ongoing fighting and shifting control of resources make feeding its population impossible.

Oh my this is so very sad :(
@sfdirewolf.bsky.social just passed away. What a heartbreaking loss. And a reminder of how important Teen Vogue was.
It’s been a pleasure working with Lex and everyone in the politics vertical at Teen Vogue. I’m heartbroken that my column, Disability Visibility, is gone. Teen Vogue was one of the few places that published disabled journalists regularly. I just spent the last 2 months working on my next column

The thing about the Diddy verdict and the budget bill is that you can and should take both of them seriously. Powerful men getting away with violence isn’t a distraction from Trump and his administration. It’s the same thing powered by the same rhetoric and logic of abuse
the interesting thing about the Diddy verdict is that House Republicans are about to vote to take away healthcare from tens of millions of Americas

Do I have a favorite mayoral candidate? Of course (and I'm leading a dozen field shifts for that campaign). But to defeat Cuomo, what's most important for us to do at this stage of the race is to try to shape the field in our favor. How? By getting two or more candidates to cross-endorse each other.
We’re proud to endorse the DREAM team to lead the fight: @adrienne4thepeople.bsky.social , @bradlander.bsky.social, @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social & @zellnor.bsky.social for NYC Mayor! #RankTheSlate

“Vote blue no matter who” creates a dynamic in which conservatives can run in the Democratic Party.
That might not be the purpose of this ideology, but it’s the unintended consequence.

Still thinking about Newsom. For a Democratic leader to consent to a framework that portrays trans people as a group that is trying to take something away from other people is flatly unforgivable. It is what the right does. And a Democrat who will do it to one group will do it to any group.
