Hamas says Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu’s decision to halt humanitarian aid into Gaza is “cheap blackmail” and a “coup” against the ceasefire deal.

A reminder for these times.

Somebody’s gotta do it, I guess.

In the US city of Cincinnati in Ohio, armed Nazis decided to hang flags over an overpass, they were promptly removed by locals who chased them away and burned the Nazi flags. The police tried to protect the Nazis.

It's getting a little North Korean around here.

Good morning and happy Wednesday to everyone except Marco Rubio’s new undersecretary of state for public diplomacy.

So happy to hear that Trump has moved on from making America Great to making Gaza Great Again.

A gay guy, a Black man, and a woman walk into a flight deck— that’s not the beginning of a joke, but just a regular day at work! There was so much DEI on this plane that we could hardly get in the air. Luckily my limp wrists were able to wrestle the heavy jet back to the ground 💅🏼

Tip of the day: make sure you’re following news sources outside of the US, too. I recommend BBC News and Al Jazeera English to start.

Who else should we be watching?

If we shadows have offended,
Think but this, and all is mended,
That you have but slumbered here
While these visions did appear.

So, he’s just trying to dismantle the federal government entirely, basically? Okay. Cool.

Surprise! Surprise!

CDC ordered to stop working with WHO immediately, upending expectations of an extended withdrawal U.S. public health officials have been told to stop working with the World Health Organization, effective immediately. The surprise decision is focused on the U.S.

President Trump’s decision to immediately stop working with the WHO is a reckless move that puts global health at risk. This undermines efforts to coordinate a unified response to pandemics and makes it harder to address emerging health threats.

Oh, really??? 😂 You made this happen.

The Authors Against Book Bans statement about the DOE rollback on Book Bans is on our Instagram account now, and will be disseminated to media outlets tomorrow. AUTHORS AGAINST BOOK BANS RESPONSE TO THE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION’S STATEMENT SUPPORTING BOOK BANS IN AMERICAN SCHOOLS Today, the Department of Education announced plans to dismiss eleven outstanding complaints against book bans, and to eliminate the position of Book Ban Coordinator at the Office of Civil Rights (OCR). This distortion of the intended work of the OCR–the protection of civil rights and students’ freedoms in our nation's schools–is negligent, grossly un-American, and in direct conflict with freedom of speech, a bedrock right enshrined in the Constitution. Authors Against Book Bans unequivocally stands against all such attempts at censorship and discrimination. We stand with families, students and educators across the country who exercise free speech every time they open a book, and with the 71% of Americans who are opposed to book bans. Book bans do not protect children; history teaches us that they are a terrifying step toward tyranny.

Happy Thursday!

They will go after Wikipedia.

They will go after libraries.

They will go after school boards and public extracurricular activities that are anything but sports.

They will go after archives.

Because knowledge, education, culture, and progressives are all the enemy.

Thinking is the enemy.

I am striving to be more outspoken and keep my emotions in check. She is an inspiration.

And yet, it’s showing me how hard it will be to simply express love and care the next four years.
