'At least 25 dead after tornadoes sweep through US Midwest
I feel for any in the Mid West waiting for the Republicans to help them.
Susan Shalabi was exhausted - tired of traveling halfway around the world from Amman to Asuncion, tired of fighting against the soccer establishment.
But she was in Paraguay to deliver an important message on behalf of the Palestinian Football Association (PFA), a message FIFA, soccer’s global governing body, has heard before—and ignored.
Shalabi told me: “That’s the usual FIFA, that’s the motto. Procrastination.”

La imagen es una caricatura en blanco y negro que muestra una galería de arte. En el centro, dos personas están mirando una obra de arte que dice "GAZA SUFRE UN GENOCIDIO CIVIL". A la izquierda, hay un cartel que dice "ISRAEL ATA CAÍNOS OCENTES". A la derecha, otro cartel dice "PALESTINA NECESITA AYUDA AHORA". En el centro, una persona dice: "Ni la crítica ni el público logran descifrar lo que significan, pero son bonitos ¿no?". En el fondo, se ven otras personas observando las obras de arte. La caricatura satiriza la percepción de la situación en Gaza y Palestina, sugiriendo que la crítica y el público no comprenden completamente la gravedad de la situación, pero aprecian la belleza de las obras de arte.

I first became aware of Gabriela Nguyen a few years ago when she and I had a dialogue in the comments of one of my newsletter posts. In the time since then, she has created #APPstinent, a student org at Harvard dedicated to helping young people reconnect with the real world and live less online.
She and her org have been getting noticed by some big publications lately and I think she deserves a shout out on Fedi!
