I want to publicly celebrate Rohit Malhotra for running an absolutely inspired campaign for city council president. In 5 short months, you got 50% of voters to support you all while being up against the full, ugly weight of the Atlanta Way political machinery. @rohitforatlanta.bsky.social

Let's be clear on what this is: The Israeli government is preparing a draft plan for ethnic cleansing. I taught my undergrads about the Spanish expulsion recently. Every part of my Jewish soul and Jewish familial memory cries out against the Jewish state doing this to another people.

Headline: "Israel Tells Military to Draft Plan for Gazans Who Want to Leave
The order by the Israeli defense minister comes after President Trump proposed a U.S. takeover of Gaza and said that all two million Palestinians in the enclave should be displaced."

Weird how not a single one of the newspapers and magazines that have been breathlessly churning out "cancel culture" thinkpieces for the past four years have managed to use the word "censorship" at all to describe the most rapid and comprehensive campaign of mass-censorship in recent US history.

So many nuggets of wisdom in “The Future of Equitable Philanthropy” on SSIR, based on interviews with over a dozen leaders of color in the philanthropic sector. We are proud to be highlighted here and to see so many of our members and partners included. 👏 ssir.org/articles/ent...

Dominant culture teaches that there is a singular narrative, only one way is true, or one way will get us to victory. But many of us come from ancestries and communities that embrace multiples and many possibilities as part of how you build new worlds. Seeing multiples means there doesn't have to be any silver bullets because you can try many things or believe in many things at the same time. As a sector, part of an equity growth spurt is trying on multiple strategies and recognizing there doesn't have to be just one. - Tynesha McHarris, Black Feminist Fund, The Future of Equitable Philanthropy on SSIR
