I spent sixteen months reporting this story. It follows how surveillance tech is rewriting Gaza in real time — and what it’s doing to the people inside it. Reported in partnership with @justvision.org's Palestine Reporting Lab and published in @nymag.com

I feel like this is getting lost. It was illegal to start randomly blowing up fishermen in the first place.

the nyt refuses to see how captured they are by his narcissism and wants to blame its readers for the bind he’s put them in. It’s an abusive dynamic and it sucks

A 6-year-old boy is missing after ICE arrested him and his dad in NYC last week and shipped them off to separate facilities. www.thecity.nyc/2025/12/02/i... @thecity.nyc @gwynnefitz.bsky.social

It will surprise no one that unrestricted giving is a growing trend primarily among women

"the issue isn’t that we need more 'boy-friendly' reforms. It’s that boys are socialized to compete only with boys and to read girls’ success as illegitimate or emasculating. The result is dissonance, resentment, and disengagement for boys—and hostile climates for girls." time.com/7335723/auto...

Costco once again showing how it’s done

it is the worst of all worlds. a "unitary *presidency*" insulated from judicial or congressional power and a weak president unable to do the job of governing

maybe now the appeasers and fascism-deniers will slink back to whatever rock they crawled out from under

To oppose colonialism can never just be ideological or intellectual. In their art and in their lives, these five musicians contend with that duality and create as an act of resistance.

I feel much safer today knowing that we deported a Babson College student back to a country where she hasn't lived since childhood. She wasn't even flying internationally. She was flying to Texas.

Talked to some National Guard kids from West Virginia on the street near my office. They don't have leave to go home for Thanksgiving this week. They can't see their families, because the president wants to use them as political props. No doubt, though, there'll be a feast at Mar-a-Lago Thursday.

The thing about the ongoing media scandal du jour is that RFK Jr is actually killing people. The idea a reporter could fall in love with that - and that major magazines and publishers - would find it appealing is appalling.

Making my dog jealous telling my pie it’s such a good sweet little pumpkin

I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture. They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1

Everyone can draw their own lines for what they’re willing to tolerate but I personally can’t understand the continued use of zombie Twitter after all this time

One of my favorite things is getting to tell friends who are new to NYC that the subway "stand clear of the closing doors please" voice is a trans woman named Bernie Wagenblast and she's amazing.

this is not a smart man

after all the money and effort he’s put into bullshit racist conspiracies and twitter files nonsense, it’s hilarious that Musk unthinkingly revealed his whole site is an astroturfed sham

I can brine and shove herb butter under the skin and cook it beautifully and still not like turkey. let us hate in peace

There's a whole industry based around imprisoning people to do this work in Myanmar www.theguardian.com/global-devel...

By all means use it to code or within some small fixed dataset, but wow is it terrifying the number of times I’ve encountered people seeking medical or legal advice from ChatGPT

last year we made two ducks to make up for size and it was a glorious meal

So much theorizing but imo it boils down to Mamdani being cool, charming, a winner and powerful in New York, all things Trump has wanted his whole life, so he likes the proximity. Helps that Mamdani came to him. It won’t last, of course. At some point he’ll flip on him. This is narcissism 101.

Keep this story in the news. "Man Detained by ICE Found Dead, Hanging With Hands and Feet Tied—Attorney" www.newsweek.com/ice-detainee...

'Iran’s capital must be moved because the country “no longer has a choice,” President Masoud Pezeshkian said on Thursday in remarks carried by state media, warning that severe ecological strain has made Tehran impossible to sustain' #Iran 🇮🇷

Today’s meeting with Mamdani confirmed once again that Trump is a narcissistic tyrant, not an ideologue. This is a personalist regime above all.

And no, it doesn't sound better in the original Russian

Wait until they hear about the drug cascade that untreated ADHD tends to lead to.

Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged. Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.

"There is a certain type of person who sees a hole and perceives it to be a trash can, where others have seen the potential for a garden." The latest by @marianneeloise.bsky.social on littering and the cost of convenience culture.

Sharing the video of this because it’s such a ghoulish thing to say that I’m honestly in disbelief that I even heard her properly

‘They have total impunity’: West Bank settler violence surges after Gaza ceasefire UN logs 260 attacks in October alone, its highest monthly tally, as settlers attack farmers and burn olive trees www.theguardian.com/world/2025/n...

The good news is that DOJ’s political prosecutions are failing and its reputation is in the dumpster. The bad news is that this damage will outlast Trump.

Trump and Putin have always been money launderers and gangsters above all. Remember Wilbur Ross and the Bank of Cyprus, Trump Tower Baku?

The crime is not what we were doing protesting in the 10th floor elevator lobby of 26 Federal Plaza. The crime is what ICE agents are doing on the other side of the door.

Hey ChatGPT, tell me 50 valid social security numbers

The journalists who would stand up to Trump to his face aren’t flying on Air Force One. They’re all out of a job or in independent media now

This is wishful thinking. Most people don’t do shit, especially when the person screaming is more powerful than them.

This is him ON CAMERA. He’ll be ten times worse when they’re not around. Nothing but contempt for everyone who watched this happen and said nothing.

Nicki Minaj helping Trump start a conflict with Nigeria was not on my bingo card

79-year-old Paul Bojerski was born to Polish parents in a WWII German refugee camp. His family legally emigrated to the U.S. when he was 5. He’s been taken by ICE in Florida. www.orlandosentinel.com/2025/11/16/s...

bringing back indentured servitude as government policy, what could possibly go wrong

glad she’s saying it, because she carries a lot weight at Harvard, and he should not be teaching students anymore.
