i firmly believe that kennedy wants preventable diseases to rip through american communities since, in his warped mind, those who survive without vaccines will have proven themselves “healthy.”
If in 2026, you are STILL saying 'why didn't X survivor/victim of sexual assault go to the cops or prosecutors?' then you cannot be trusted to drive a car or live by yourself because you are ignorant.
I am one of the concerned Jewish writers! We were—and remain—concerned that the Jewish Book Council's apparent bias toward centering Israeli & Zionist voices is not only exclusionary but harmful. Thanks to @temim.bsky.social & @emmaceisenberg.bsky.social for organizing. lithub.com/an-open-lett...

They are tanking their support in the U.S. Nothing like watching 2 and 1/2 years of live streamed genocide in Gaza compounded by mass slaughter in Lebanon and Iran to dim people's opinions of you. www.usatoday.com/story/news/n...
"OPERATION ETERNAL DARKNESS"
Dear Friends in Lebanon, Their depravity is bottomless. I pray that you, your friends, and family are safe. May this nightmare end. I am sorry that my government is supporting this horror. Sending love, solidarity, and condolences.
This news made me so sad.
NYC Jews are risking arrest right now in the building where Palantir makes the products it uses to help ICE surveil, terrorize, kidnap, and deport immigrants. Jewish New Yorkers are holding a sit-in inside the lobby and refusing to leave until Palantir ends its contracts with ICE.

If I were in Trump's Cabinet, I would spend Easter calling constitutional lawyers about the 25th Amendment.

This year’s Land Day falls during the Israeli government’s genocide of Palestinians for the third year in a row.
PEN International condemns the killing of journalists Ali Shaib, Fatima Ftouni and Mohammed Ftouni in an Israeli strike on a clearly marked media vehicle in southern Lebanon.

On the 50th anniversary of Land Day, Palestinians remain unbroken in our struggle for liberation.

The news has moved on, but ICE is still in Minneapolis.
My neighbors are still patrolling streets, driving strangers to work, and providing aid. As a photojournalist at @propublica.org, I wanted to know: What do they look like in their daily lives?
