Lots of caveats here, but the Gaza resolution written by the Trump admin backs the idea of Palestinian self-determination and statehood. That's certainly a positive development, at least considering where the starting point was. And it puts them at odds w/ the Israeli gov

The US Mission to the UN just posted an odd statement decrying those who "sow discord" over a Security Council resolution to authorize an International Stabilization Force for Gaza.

I guess I'm guilty of this?!

When a natural disaster strikes somewhere in the world, America usually lends a helping hand.

Not now, though.

Here's a top official at International Rescue Committee explaining what the earthquake response in Myanmar looks like without American help.

Whenever this comes up, I like to point out that UNESCO supports Holocaust education worldwide and that as far as I can tell, is the only UN Agency currently headed by a Jewish person

Wait, what?

I'm listening to David Sanger while unloading the dishwasher and nearly dropped my plate.

@nprfreshair.bsky.social used my Global Dispatches theme in their outro(!) It's an obscure track written by a friend of mine. Been using it for nearly 15 years!
