Hollow buildings still scar the landscape of Gaza City's Shujaiyeh neighborhood, the site of some of the heaviest bombardments and fiercest clashes during last year's war between Israel and Hamas militants. But even amid the ruins of Shujaiyeh, Palestinian children are back at school and ready to learn. "My favorite thing about coming back to school is seeing my friends and teachers," 9-year-old Bara’a Habib told Jehad Saftawi, a communications associate for the U.S.-based nonprofit the Institute for Middle East Understanding, when Saftawi visited her school in late August for a photo essay project.

  • SCOTUS Restores LA Voting Map, While Liberal Justices Dissent
    The Daily Dot, Thursday - 05/16/2024 - 07:31 AM

    SCOTUS restored a congressional voting map in Louisiana yesterday that includes an additional majority-Black district, handing an edge to Democrats less than six months before the November election. However, the three liberal justices dissented, pointing to problems down the line. Via the Washington Post: The order was in response to emergency appeals filed after a federal three-judge panel in the state threw out the recently redrawn map last month, ruling that it was an unconstitutional racial gerrymander. That decision left the state without a congressional voting map heading into a 2024 contest that will determine which party controls the narrowly divided House.
