"When it comes to the threat of more displacement, it is a warning that most likely will not land with policymakers in the US and Europe [...]

Because being forced to move is something that happens to others, but not to us."

Our teams are facing tear gas in Jenin:

“Israeli forces fired tear gas several times inside the Khalil Suleiman hospital.

This is unacceptable. The Emergency Room is unusable right now, it's completely filled with smoke, as is the rest of the hospital...

For Pride this year, @gracesoyeonmoon and I spoke to 6 members of Seoul's queer community, from an activist to a drag queen to a gay-bar owner, to show what it's like for LGBTQ people in a society largely opposed to them.

@alex_shephard Esacpist disaster porn has its place, but it's problematic when it displaces stories of significance (pun intended). Also humanity needs to ask itself why it sent exploration robots to find 5 rich people and nothing for the 500 migrants that just drowned in the Mediterranean.

[Chaeyeon Kim @chaeyeonwrites]

It's not about hating the rich as much as it's about asking ourselves why the 1000s of migrant drownings have not been given the same care they deserve.

@nytimes Can you make a video like this about the migrants who sank at sea too?

[Chaeyeon Kim @chaeyeonwrites]

@nytimes How many articles do you have on this, @nytimes? Let's talk colonial-capitalism and why we're sending an exploration robot to save the rich and leaving hundreds of migrants to sink.

[Chaeyeon Kim @chaeyeonwrites]

My article, “Reflections on North Korean Community-Based Research”, has been published! Though it’s my name on the article, it wouldn’t have been possible without all my collaborators - including the fantastic people over at @ReflectJournal

@lesliezye @KendraWrites SoCal public high school:
Valedictorian: Ivy League
Salutatorian: Ivy League

I was #3, if you couldn’t tell. But we really had only 2 kids go to Ivies in my year.

Shakespeare's best (and strangest) insults, a thread:

[The New York Times @nytimes]

Covid restrictions in Hong Kong were lifted this year, but a crackdown continued on memorials for the anniversary of China's Tiananmen Square massacre. Police searched bags Sunday and detained demonstrators, including pro-democracy activist Alexandra Wong. https://t.co/YtSdl92WUS

Pain, but pronounced in the Derry Girls skit type way (you know what I’m talking about)

The Denver Nuggets are going to the NBA finals for the first time in franchise history after completing a four-game sweep of the Los Angeles Lakers.

For the millions of Koreans and friends who were so pissed reading the @nytimes oped last week from the South Korean writer who calls for Koreans to get over their “national obsession” over Japan’s brutal colonial legacy.
