Every reporter for every American news site should be covering this developing news story about the mass grave in Nasser. More bodies will be uncovered and there will be more revelations on what exactly happened. aljazeera.com/news/2024/4/24…

Nearly 300 bodies were found in a mass grave at Nasser hospital yesterday but you wouldn't know it from the The New York Times's above-the-fold priorities.

A central part of our PEN campaign is fundraising for Nadine Murtaja, a young Gazan poet. Our next goal is to hit $23k, the equivalent of four PEN translation prizes. gofundme.com/f/mrv2dj-compl…

Holy shit.

'The $75,000 prize accompanying the PEN/Stein award will be donated, this year, to the Palestine Children’s Relief Fund at the direction of the Literary Estate of Jean Stein.'

If you haven’t already, now is a GREAT time to withdraw from the World Voices Festival and let PEN America know that along with its events, complicity as usual is CANCELLED

BREAKING🚨

Palestinian civil defense has discovered hundreds of bodies buried by the IDF in a mass grave outside the Nasser Hospital…

At least 400 bodies have been found with many being children with their hands bound behind their backs…

THIS IS A GENOCIDE…🇵🇸💔
