In the course of reporting this story, I didn’t hear from one worker who hadn’t been in some way injured on the job.

What is happening in northern Gaza, particularly the forced displacement of residents from Beit Lahia, is beyond comprehension. Children, the sick, women, and the elderly have been forcibly uprooted from their homes by Israeli forces, now left to sleep on the streets under harsh cold and rain. They endure dire humanitarian conditions, completely deprived of the basic necessities of life.
Israel “outright denied” 82 out of 91 attempts since Oct. 26 to deliver aid to cut-off areas in northern Gaza, said Georgios Petropoulos, head of the U.N. humanitarian office in Gaza, in a statement.
You think the reports can’t get any darker from Gaza (what few reports we still get, from those who have survived) but they keep getting darker, & the reaction keeps getting quieter. The world buzzes along like Gaza is just a TV show. It’s sick; I don’t know what to say anymore.
“The UN analysis found around 44% of verified victims were children, and 26% women. The ages most represented among the dead were five to nine-year-olds.” THE AGES MOST REPRESENTED AMONG THE DEAD WERE FIVE TO NINE YEAR OLDS https://t.co/xiENa3VNlm
I remember in 2016 receiving emails from university presidents saying that campuses would remain safe, vibrant spaces where diversity was respected and undocumented students would be protected.
I have received no such email which suggests to me a real normalization of this.
Such an excellent illustration of how inefficient fossil fuels are and how manufactured our dependency actually is.
Close to half of all shipping traffic worldwide is just moving fossil fuels around
It's hard to overstate how strong the evidence of innocence is in Roberson's case. Yet every institution that should stop his execution from moving forward--from the courts to the parole board--has failed. This is a sickening moment and makes a mockery of the idea of due process.
There’s still time to save Robert, but we only have 3 days remaining. Sign the petition, share, or call Gov. Abbott’s office at 361-264-9653.

Power's out in here, and the COs are hiding in their offices while we’re left in the dark. We’re shouting for meds and updates, but no one’s listening. Just trying to hold on and hope this storm doesn’t swallow us whole. -- FL inside #HurricaneMilton
New from @elizabethweill (with assists from @megoconnor13 and I): More than 20,000 people are incarcerated in Florida prisons and jails located in mandatory evacuation zones. Many jails plan to ignore the evacuation orders. https://t.co/ol3gsuM4JM
For @boltsmag & @theintercept, I wrote about what I and others saw during the nation's second execution by nitrogen gas, and how it wasn't what Alabama said would happen.

Not the 'Hamas-run health ministry', but 99 American physicians and nurses:
"It is likely that the death toll from this conflict is already greater than 118,908, an astonishing 5.4% of Gaza’s population."
"With only marginal exceptions, everyone in Gaza is sick, injured, or both. This includes every national aid worker, every international volunteer, and probably every Israeli hostage: every man, woman, and child."
"In Gaza we watched malnourished mothers feed their underweight newborns infant formula made with poisonous water. We can never forget that the world abandoned these innocent women and babies."
"Israel’s continued, repeated displacement of the malnourished and sick population of Gaza, half of whom are children, to areas without running water or even toilets available is absolutely shocking."
