Thanks for, once again, letting us know where you stand.

“If, as June Jordan once put it, ‘Palestine is a moral litmus test for the world’, then we have squarely failed that test as a species.”

Couldn't be prouder of André Naffis-Sahely 's hard work and moral clarity, for making Poetry London into one of the hottest forums for BIPOC & translated literature & featured some of the greatest poets in its pages. This last issue (& editorial) is a kicker.

Due to the layoffs at the LA Times, it appears that Image Magazine is dead. I was so proud to be on that masthead. We covered style & fashion from a more diverse perspective, which we need more than ever. This is a beautiful city. Here are some of my favorite pieces from Image:

Collective punishment
Forced displacement
Genocide
Ethnic Cleansing

What it was like to evacuate Gaza City this weekend

We call on UK Prime Minister to demand an immediate end to the slaughter in Gaza. We are utterly ashamed to receive funding from a govt that condones the massacre of innocent civilians & we also call on fellow lit orgs to stand with the Palestinian people & against genocide.

Following NYC Tw*tterati, I'm also withdrawing participating at an event at Columbia University later this month. Shameful.

The head of 'HonestReporting,' whose report led Israeli politicians to call for the extermination of Palestinian journalists, now says they were just 'raising questions' without evidence and, despite their name, 'we don’t claim to be a news organization' apnews.com/article/israel…

Along with 600+ journalists, I condemn Israel’s targeting and killing of journalists and its other assaults on the press in Gaza, and call on newsrooms to more accurately and honestly report on what’s happening. This is not the time to obfuscate the truth. protect-journalists.com
