Superb, concise explanation by Adam Hanieh of how and why the US-Israeli war on Iran is having such massive impacts on economies and production around the world:

we are capable of, and HAVE to, care about multitudes of issues at once. everything is connected. we are all connected.

I still can't believe how quickly it feels like we moved on from this. This happened on the *first day*.
It hasn't even been a month.
Parents of the 168 schoolchildren killed in Minab are struggling to process the scale of the loss, returning each night to keep vigil at their children’s graves.
Drop Site correspondent Mahmoud Aslan reported that families arrive carrying rugs and cushions, food, water, and candles, placing them beside the small, freshly dug graves. They clean the tombstones, tend the surrounding earth, and settle in for the night—keeping a quiet vigil until dawn.

“The solutions to the most pressing disaster challenges lie with those most deeply affected by them. Artivism amplifies their voices.”
So excited that I got to write this piece about artivism (art-based activism) and disaster research - check it out below!
Learn how creative methods like artivism can be used to achieve social justice and reduce suffering in this latest #ResearchCounts. bit.ly/3AnJt4b @_graced4this, @BTW_Movement

Grateful to the @HazCenter team, especially Jolie Breeden for all of her support, my co-curators of I’m Literally Taking It Out the Mud, Janay Nachel Frazier, @thisisdehistory and most importantly, the Black women whose stories who captured in this project. ✨

What is artivism and how are those studying disaster impacts using it in community-led, driven, and designed research? @UDelaware @UDResearch @UDBidenInst @UDSocCJ @_graced4this #BlueHens #Disaster #DRC60 (1/3)
Honored to be a part of the family of these brilliant scholars ✨ @BAFFellows
Bill Anderson talks were 🔥. We heard stories of rural needs & strengths, inclusion of people with disabilities, daily experiences of communities of color during disaster, & about groups supporting LT recovery. Excited to learn more about these researchers’ work! #HazWS

Sitting is not a crime.
Resting is not a crime.
Sleeping is not a crime.
Camping is not a crime.
Being poor is not a crime.
Needing help is not a crime.
Homelessness is not a crime, it’s a policy failure.
This ruling is deplorable. This country systemically creates poverty & suffering, then punishes people for it. Fines and incarceration for folks already experiencing criminalization & vulnerability? Alas, onward to a more expansive carceral state. @NYTimes nytimes.com/2024/06/28/us/po…
I’ve been thinking of folks who are incarcerated this week in record-breaking heat. Most facilities don’t have air conditioning, let alone working fans. Temps can be several degrees hotter inside these antiquated buildings. People are literally roasting. @fema take action.
BREAKING: We w/@AFLCIO @NationalNurses @SEIU @sunrisemvmt @CPDAction legally petitioned @fema to treat extreme heat & wildfire smoke as major disasters to unlock critical funds to save workers & impacted communities.
