Have you ever read the news, muttered to yourself, “What in tarnation is goin’ on here??” and then immediately chucked your phone into the nearest trash can? So have we. No one can keep up with the constant stream of reports, articles, and tweets. But lucky for you, we at Splinter have to, because it is our job. Splinter writers Isha Aran and Clio Chang are here to catch you up on just what is happening with some of the biggest stories in the news. This week: We unpack America’s shameful response—from the Trump administration to Democratic #Resistance politicians—to the Israeli massacre of at least 60 Palestinian protesters in Gaza. You can watch other videos in the “What In Tarnation” series here.
