Actually did something and donated to the Haitian Community and Support Center emergency fund, consider doing the same if you can: ancljkuy.donorsupport.co/page/FUNDVDT...
Stand with Haitian Families in Crisis
Build the Emergency Fund that protects families when everything feels uncertain. The end of TPS. Increasing ICE actions. Families losing work authorization overnight. For Haitian parents and children ...

The Trump administration has done many terrible things but what they have done to the 350,000 Haitians living as our neighbors and colleagues and carers, even if not a single one is deported (and there will be many deported, to death) is I think among the worst.

I'm sorry Canadians, but Brad Bradford sounds like what J.K. Rowling would name someone who works at Dunder Mifflin

The manosphere is trying to sell a version of masculinity based on the subjugation of others—and it's becoming an ideology all its own, Adam Serwer argues. theatln.tc/gnK7CsDP
"We could not administer the bar exam" is not an oopsie-whoopsie. It is a betrayal of the graduates who spent months of their lives and thousands of dollars putting aside everything in their lives to prepare for the exam. The appropriate response STARTS with "we're sorry," but it doesn't end there.

It is a year since the ICJ issued its landmark ruling on climate change... despite this, states and corporations continue to expand fossil fuel production in violation of international law causing billions of dollars of irreversible loss and damage

I'm heartbroken to share that Marvin (known to readers of There Is No Place for Us as Maurice) died earlier today in a workplace accident. He was 43. Natasha (Natalia in the book) asked me to share this news because she is too devastated to do so herself. We are all in shock.
Marvin, one of the people profiled in Brian’s book ‘There Is No Place For Us’, died suddenly this week in a workplace accident. What we’re doing this morning is making sure Marvin’s family knows they’re not alone. Get in here.
Marvin's family has now created a GofundMe to help with funeral expenses and to support Natasha and the kids in the difficult days ahead. If you're able to contribute or share the fundraiser, I'd be deeply grateful.
Hey, we don’t know the LeBron thing won’t work until somebody tries it
Sharks get cancer. People claiming otherwise are trying to sell something to the desperate. And even if sharks didn’t get cancer, eating shark wouldn’t cure your cancer any more than eating LeBron James would make you better at basketball.
