It is not helpful to use the term "terrorism" in a war when the White House only ever applies it to one side. Better to remind both Hamas and the Israeli government that humanitarian law makes it a war crime to target or indiscriminately fire on civilians. whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/…

We're elated to share that @teacherc's I AM THE MOST DANGEROUS THING is a finalist for inarà's 2024 Audre Lorde Award alongside Alicia Mountain, Leslie Sainz, & Destiny Hemphill 🌟 Congrats to all of this year's finalists! Learn more at bit.ly/3PpHPTY
