“Everyday Meals During Wars” is a poem I wrote after 2014 and it got published in my first poetry book in 2022.

Happy #Juneteenth! Check out this blog post by Kalela Williams, director of our @Va_Ctr_Book, for a list of book recommendations that speak to the meaning of the holiday: “For me, this is a time to reflect through reading,” she writes. https://t.co/9q1mc3uPTv

🎉 Great news from #Thailand, where the senate passed the final reading of a marriage equality law.

▶️ This makes Thailand the first country in Southeast Asia, and the second in Asia, to recognize same-sex relationships.

This is Fathers Day weekend & also when the demolition of the building where my daughter was killed began. For me, this weekend is about continuing to do the work of our foundation set up because of what happened to Jaime. Your generosity is appreciated.

Since the war started, 625,000 children across #Gaza have been denied an education as schools have been forced to remain closed.

Our @UNRWA colleagues continue to support Palestinian children with activities to help them get back to learning, but it’s not enough. #CeasefireNow

[Malala Yousafzai @Malala]

It’s been 1000 days since the Taliban banned girls’ secondary education. Afghan women and girls are living under gender apartheid — but they are fighting back. That's why @MalalaFund is supporting orgs working to keep girls learning in Afghanistan with $1.5M in new funding.

4) How did he buy a handgun?
5) Did he pass a background check?
6) No one in his house saw what was going on?

[Dana Loesch @DLoesch]

Not a single politician is asking:

1) How did this murderer get into the school?
2) What security did this school have and how can we protect schools like we protect our concerts, banks, museums?
3) WHERE WERE HIS PARENTS AND THE ADULTS IN HIS LIFE?
