Bibi Netanyahu used to take great pride in Israel’s military & technological power. But now both these segments of Israeli society are in open revolt against his government’s plan to overhaul the judiciary. Can they stop him? Latest me @csmonitor csmonitor.com/World/Middle-E…

Israeli protesters: ‘Traitors’ and ‘anarchists’ or best and brightest?

#DavidCrosby, who just passed on, established himself as rock legend with CSN&Y. Then came his solo masterpiece "If Only I Could Remember My Name." In 2019, I interviewed him for @csmonitor about his great recent solo albums and how he found sobriety. csmonitor.com/The-Culture/Mo…

"The CDC found 45 pct of high school students were so persistently sad or hopeless in 2021 they were unable to engage in regular activities. Almost 1 in 5 seriously considered suicide and 9 pct surveyed tried to take their lives during previous 12 months." washingtonpost.com/education…

The crisis of student mental health is much vaster than we realize

There is too much need and too little help for kids. Even as federal covid relief money has let schools step up their efforts, they also have come up short.

Mexico's government has an incredible team of archeologists and anthropologists (@INAHmx). They are racing ahead of the railway construction, excavating as much as they can before antiquities are bulldozed. This entire Maya site will be dismantled:

Press freedom, democracy, and Fahad Shah

Today at @cranebeachmass my 9-year-old daughter nearly drowned while I was watching her, in full view of two life guard stations, on an uncrowded and overcast day. Drowning doesn’t look like drowning, and I hope a lot of people read this and remember the signs. 🧵 – at Malden, MA

Hi @csmonitor: Many thx for this informed & nuanced article, refreshingly different from much of recent international media coverage on #SriLankaCrisis. Great decision to commission @munza14 to write it, as she lives in #lka, knows the story far better than #ParachuteJournalists!
