On this day in particular I would like to express my sincere condolences to the families of everyone in Gaza who've been massacred by bombs and bullets every single day for the last two years with the facilitation of the US government and cheered on by wealthy Republican pundits.

There will not be a healthy US journalism industry without public funding.
The PBS/NPR defunding shows we are heading in the opposite direction.
