- Reposted by Mya FrazierI will never forget having to edit Jamal’s final, posthumous piece for the Washington Post, after he was murdered. He was calling for free expression in the Arab world. You can read it here : www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/glo...
- Reposted by Mya FrazierIt's hard to express what it meant to watch Maurice, Natalia, Celeste, and Rhea tell their stories—in their own voices—this morning. The segment revealed a brutal reality: homelessness at this scale isn't about personal failure. It's the result of policy choices and systems built to exploit people.

- “The expression ‘skin and bones’ doesn’t do it justice. I saw the severity of malnutrition that I would not have thought possible in a civilized world. This is man-made starvation being used as a weapon of war..." www.nytimes.com/2025/07/27/w...
- Reposted by Mya FrazierThe images of children starved to death in Gaza should be the lead of every news program.

- Reposted by Mya Frazierthese visuals hardly do it justice, but just staggering to contemplate this scale of destruction. An estimated 60 percent of all buildings destroyed; 90 percent of housing gone. 90 percent of the population -- 1,900,000 people -- displaced www.bbc.com/news/world-m...
- I've been lucky enough to hear about this book from the earliest days of @sho-walter.bsky.social's always thorough and brilliant reporting. This is an urgent and important work of journalism by one of the most compassionate and caring journalists working today.

- For bombs and war and tanks and missiles, the DOD demands $850 billion. For words and thoughts, books and scholarship, the NEH requires only $200 million. It was a ratio that was always off, but has now become a profoundly dangerous imbalance.
