תחקיר שובר לב ומטלטל של Aaron Boxerman בזמן ישראל על זינוק חד במקרי הסרטן בכפרים הפלסטיניים ליד חברון, שהפכו לתעשייה לשרפת הפסולת האלקטרונית של ישראל. אשכרה הפכנו אותם לפח הזבל שלנו על חשבון הבריאות שלהם. והצילומים של TamirBenKalifa פשוט מרהיבים. zman.co.il/281984/

Recent work for the The New York Times. Please spend some time with Jason DeParle’s compassionate and hopeful story about Norma Mercado’s work in Bastrop and the tremendous good that federal programs like McKinney-Vento can do. nytimes.com/2022/04/11/us/…


As Uvalde waits for Arredondo’s firing, I can’t get this parent’s words, written in the revived La Voz newspaper, out of my head: “There is laundry in the dryer that is Amerie’s. Clothes I never need to fold again. Clothes that are right now warmer than her body.”April Maria Ortiz, Ph.D. 🏳️⚧️


Ok y'all, I put a lot into this story, which is the cover for our new issue. It's about the powerful movement for accountability and gun reform that's emerged in Uvalde since May 24, the town's civil rights history, & the people & places that connect them: texasobserver.org/uvalde-guns-pr…

“I’m not moving.” The Cross family, who lost their son, Uziyah Garcia, said they want a meeting with Uvalde CISD out in public..



Thank you Ana Rodriguez for sharing #Maite's amazing story and the rest of the #Uvalde families for allowing me and TamirBenKalifa to spend the Dia de Los Muertos with them at the cemetery. “The goal is to keep their future visions alive.” The New York Times nytimes.com/2022/11/03/us/…
