In September, federal immigration agents shot and killed Villegas González in Chicago.

Federal immigration agents have now shot and killed multiple people since Trump took office a year ago. Today alone marks the second deadly ICE shooting IN A WEEK. An off-duty shot and killed a 43-year-old father in CA on Dec. 31.

Raleigh activists are claiming a rare victory against a subsidiary of Israeli weapons manufacturer Elbit Systems. They say Logos Technologies' offices appear to be emptied out after facing protests. The Raleigh location is also no longer listed on the company's website. Read more @prismreports.org

This is the wild part about the whole Trump experience, even when he says politically disastrous things, reporters rush in to fill in the blanks and steelman his arguments. As soon as they cut away from him saying “we’ll run it,” they cut to someone saying “obviously he didn't mean that.”

The most heart breaking part is this kind of "journalism" high up editor logic is NOT unique to Weiss. I wish you could've heard what I heard when my work was killed, silenced, suppressed and silenced (or at best, just criticized). It's eerily familiar. In some ways identical.

the state should issue all journalists five (5) mandatory non-media industry friends to keep us all normal

As #ICE ramps up its harassment of U.S. communities while implementing President Donald Trump’s mass deportation agenda, Canadian armoured vehicle manufacturer Roshel has also been stepping up its lobbying efforts to get Canadian federal government contracts. @rachelgilmore.bsky.social writes.

"Censorship is being used as a business tactic. Silencing is happening because people are scared for their jobs, careers, & sometimes even their lives." --a TV writer on threats to free speech under Trump. My latest for @prismreports.org: prismreports.org/2025/12/04/t...

BREAKING: Trump administration plans to end prison rape protections for trans & intersex people, memo says. A DOJ memo says certain standards under the Prison Rape Elimination Act (PREA) do not align with Trump’s Jan. 20 anti-trans executive order, @byadamrhodes.bsky.social reports.

New from me: The DOJ plans to dismantle protections for trans and intersex people in federal, state, and local prisons, jails, and youth detention facilities, according to a government memo obtained by Prism.

Yesterday, through a flurry of interviews & phone calls, @tinavasquez.bsky.social wrote this excellent report on the immigration raids in cities across North Carolina. She spoke to community members about the devastation & fear, as well as the love & resistance. prismreports.org/2025/11/19/n...

I am so upset. Last week Time Magazine solicited a piece from me on Zohran Mamdani & anti-Muslim hate. I pitched a framing re the dehumanization of Muslims & how Mamdani’s inclusive, socialist campaign in its content resists that. They agreed. I wrote the piece. 1/

2020 Haitians consistently call for NGOs and them to leave, and tell people not to donate to those NGOs Most of the aid that goes to Haiti, goes to foreign corporations and the US military not to Haitians inthesetimes.com/features/hai...

Trump: "I don't think we're necessarily going to ask for a declaration of war, I think we're just gonna kill people that are bringing drugs into our country. We're going to kill them. They're going to be, like dead."

After Jennyfer told police she was sexually assaulted by her manager, authorities arrested, detained, and deported her to Nicaragua—the country she had left as a toddler. Heartbreaking read from @alexmar.bsky.social

Almost 9 months ago, our press colleague Anas Al-Sharif removed his press vest following the announcement of a ceasefire. And then we saw what happened next. May we ensure the bombs actually end this time. I wish he, and so many more, were here with us.

I wonder what was going on then that the antifascist movement was responding to. So weird I can't figure it out

ICE arrested 351 Iranians under Trump up until July 29, according to the latest data. More than 50%, or 183 arrests, came the week after the U.S. bombed Iran during the Israel-Iran war.

"Palestinian voices are treated as always biased, where westerners & Israelis aren't, as if only westerners can be objective. Major media outlets have been silencing Palestinian voices for decades. It's just amplified today bc the suffering is undeniable." — Aline Batarseh

"We were focused on freedom of expression even before Oct 7 because as recognition of Israel's apartheid was growing worldwide, Israel and its supporters were developing additional tactics to silence dissent and silence critics." — Aline Batarseh visualizingpalestine.org/visual/syste...

"We see news launder the idea that a free Palestine is, in and of itself, a threat... that we as a people can't be nuanced or difficult, that we have to be a perfect victim... our freedom was something we had to earn, not inherent to us as human beings." @abdallahfayyad.bsky.social

"I embarked on an investigation, not to show that there is bias, because we know there is, not to show anti-Palestinian racism, because we know there is, but to understand how it is done." — @laubast.bsky.social on her reporting with Prism and Visualizing Palestine prismreports.org/2025/09/09/j...

An account given in court by the attorney of a woman who was shot by a Border Patrol agent “really makes it sounds like” the agent “tried to murder an anti-ICE protester in Chicago and DHS lied to cover for him,” said one researcher.

In Gaza, another humanitarian crisis has emerged: the soaring displacement expenses — or, as many people in Gaza bitterly describe it, “The fees you pay to become homeless in the south.” Tents cost $1,000 and securing a patch of land to pitch it on can be almost as costly.

Two years of Israel’s genocidal war against every form of life in Gaza have invaded the very core of children’s imagination. Funerals, death, & martyrdom have replaced cartoons, playgrounds, & birthday parties as the themes of their play. Ahmad Abushawish details how Israel stole childhood in Gaza.

“As the genocide rages on, I am still struggling with how the term 'journalist' is given both to those on the ground who have died reporting important stories & those who have been complicit in these atrocities,” writes Samaa Khullar.

When the Orwellian named Dept of Homeland Security was created … MANY of us predicted that it would eventually be doing all the things that it is doing right now Pinning it uniquely on Trump really misses the point in a bunch of ways

Judge Barbara Lagoa, whose husband represents the state of Florida in other legal cases, should have recused herself from ruling on the “Alligator Alcatraz” detention center, advocates say. New from @alexmar.bsky.social in @prismreports.org

Must-read by journalist Mario Guevara for @bittersouth.bsky.social: "On the afternoon of Saturday, June 14, 2025, my life changed completely. Just as I was doing a regular news coverage, I was arrested by the police in the state of Georgia."

This story — which asks what happened to all of those newsroom DEI jobs, committees, and promises from 2020 — is the hardest one I've ever worked on. I hope you'll spend some time with it today. www.niemanlab.org/2025/09/from...

Liberals are doing the right’s job for it. By lionizing Charlie Kirk and refusing to acknowledge his real political project, they’re giving power to the right’s completely predictable effort to use his death to forward their goal of an authoritarian, fascist state.

what the fuck is “transgender ideology”

Without offering an opinion on the quality of WSJ's sourcing, we would note that extreme dishonesty has been a longstanding problem with administration sources. Good journalism is served by reporters keeping that in mind in the course of their reporting on this administration.

The orgy of liberal pundits tripping over each other to praise Charlie Kirk—when he caused so much violence to the lives of Black and LGBTQ people (including me specifically)—is telling about why the Dems can’t build an antifascist coalition.

It's only political violence if it targets white conservatives, otherwise it's the way things are.

Racism is a violence that's perfectly acceptable to way too many. andscape.com/features/keh...

@bluesky moderation is suspending people for posting Kirk's own words which tells you everything you need to know.

Which work? Calling for gay people to be stoned to death? Blaming airplane crashes on black pilots? Anti-vax bullshit? Election denialism? Pushing Great Replacement Theory? Kirk’s murder is awful and ominous for this country. But no, we don’t need to honor him or “continue his work.”

Under Trump, the criminal legal system now targets another population: Green card holders. While there is little public data about the number of lawful permanent residents targeted at ports of entry, an uptick in reports leaves many fearful of traveling abroad, @mauriziogro.bsky.social reports.

Massachusetts plans for antisemitism education spark backlash over Anti-Defamation League’s influence, @shruti-rajkumar.bsky.social reports. State recommendations face pushback from educators & advocates who warn that the ADL’s influence may limit academic freedom & distort historical perspectives.

I’ve been working on this for months! It is now out. Read. Read. Read. The stories I collected reveal the extent of bias tactics in U.S. newsrooms, even those we wouldn’t expect Palestine to be muzzled in. Thank you for trusting me to report!

A new report from @prismreports.org reveals how mainstream newsrooms across the country have been silencing journalists—particularly those who are Palestinian, Arab, or Muslim—in their reporting of Israel’s genocide in Gaza.

‘Here, no bombs fall. But hope does’: Palestinians displaced in Egypt long for home in Gaza, writes Athar Ihab Abu Samra in a new dispatch. Some Palestinians fled to Egypt to escape the genocide, while others were visitors stuck there after Oct. 7. All are now in endless exile.

🚨 Seattle Council voted 7-2 to expand police surveillance despite: • 1,000+ residents opposed • 60+ community groups against it • Civil rights office said no This is democratic deficit in action, ignoring overwhelming public opposition for surveillance state expansion.

A racist criminal system is now being leveraged at ports of entry to arbitrarily harass and detain noncitizens, including lawful permanent residents and green card holders, advocates warn. @vera.org @nlgnews.bsky.social @immcouncil.org @nipnlg.bsky.social prismreports.org/2025/09/09/u...
