First off before going into the political situation I just wanted to stress how great it was to be reminded how easy it is to fall in love with Caracas, and how amazing the Venezuelan people are. Someone I'd met briefly 7 years ago, would greet me again as if we were family.

The footage of those four young men broke something in me. I’ve never seen footage like that & all I can think of is the drone strikes across Pakistan, Somalia, Yemen & Afg that tore our men & boys apart just bc they existed as poor Muslims made disposable for imperial violence.

700 killed in the last 24 hours in Gaza. We have officially reached the highest lethal rate of Palestinians killed per day since 1948.

The "migration crisis" is overwhelmingly about the Western ruling classes making other countries increasingly uninhabitable and then militarizing their borders against the dispossessed.

"How can you be a feminist and listen to reggaeton?" This single question led @PatVelzqz down a reggaeton rabbit hole and eventually led to the creation of @hastabajoprojct, the very first Puerto Rican reggaeton archive. 🇵🇷 Listen on @radioambulante: n.pr/429LoCz

In the 44 days of 2023 we've had nearly 70 mass shootings, including the latest that is leading our show today. Three people were killed and five injured in a mass shooting at Michigan State University. Think about that, more mass shootings than days of the year...

A man born in Madrid to Moroccan parents, who chose to represent Morocco instead of Spain, steps up in the biggest moment of his life and chips a penalty down the middle of the goal to win the game and beat the country of his birth. There is nothing like the World Cup. Nothing.

The Sommwhere in Yemen exhibit in Brooklyn is transporting visitors to Yemen through smells, sounds, sights, tastes and textures — and it’s showing our city the beauty of our Yemeni community. Honored to join them to say #EidMubarak today.
