The future was supposed to be flying cars and world peace. Instead it is decrepit dirty old men sending poor people’s children to kill other poor people’s children and avoid accountability.
In our name, with our money, ostensibly for oil, but mostly because we have a president who's addicted to power and attention and needs to deflect from being friends with the world’s most famous pedophile. Shame on these fucking monsters who run my country. They need out.

Columbia has long been run more as a business empire than as an educational institution. Now it’s acting like Vichy on the Hudson

I mentored a young writer in Gaza for her first essay to be published on We Are Not Numbers website. This is a beautiful and fresh perspective showing how even during displacement and genocide, a family's love and hope are not defeated. wearenotnumbers.org/more-than-ju...
