If you're wondering why so many Palestinian journalists are being killed in Gaza—and why Israel has threatened to "eliminate" photojournalists in particular—simply look at these images by @yosef_masoud and Samar Abu Elouf in today's NYT. Their work is as vital as it is courageous.

There is just no getting around this bit from the latest Chotiner interview. Doctors Without Borders has never seen this before: the number of civilian casualties, the inescapability of death, the fact that everyone knows what is happening BUT IT DOESN’T STOP.

Today, I learned that the poet @mosababutoha has been taken from his family and detained in Gaza. He is reportedly in Israel Defense Forces custody. I've had the privilege of editing Mosab for @newyorker. He has a wife and three kids. I call for his immediate release. newyorker.com/news/essay/the…

At this point, I really don’t know how to talk to anyone who isn’t loudly and unequivocally condemning this horror

I went to the West Bank and wrote about the ways in which Israeli settlers and the state work together to take over Palestinian land through violence. newyorker.com/magazine/2024/…

“Once automated, the landlord-tenant relationship could be redefined as remote, with any lingering moral ambiguities absolved by algorithm. That was one possible future..Eviction was still a messy business.” Mya Frazier on the rise of “proptech” harpers.org/archive/2024/0…

Great new article by Mya Frazier describing eviction in Columbus, OH. Rich description of court processes and power imbalances, but also the macro trends of landlord professionalization and tenant economic precarity that underlie the crisis. harpers.org/archive/2024/0…

“Two converging trends—the automation of property management and Wall Street’s consolidation of America’s rental housing stock—had exacerbated the already uneven power dynamics of the landlord-tenant relationship.” By Mya Frazier Harper's Magazine harpers.org/archive/2024/0…

this clip is quite old, but anyone feeling surprised or shocked by today’s result clearly hasn't been paying attention. Obviously I'm biased, but my mate David had a clearer diagnosis of contemporary politics than anyone alive now.

"By 2030, in Central Ohio alone, [data center] demand will skyrocket to more than 5,000 megawatts—roughly equivalent to the power consumption of all of New York City." Mya Frazier has written a great essay on the blighted landscape and power struggles of our impending data center

A stellar essay by Mya Frazier on data centers and what they bode for us. "data centers are now the most visible and ubiquitous manifestation of raw political power in our country, and a physical representation of our nation’s enduring class divides"

Love to see my forthcoming book BLACK MOSES get a STARRED review from the fine folks at Publishers Weekly
