NEW: I profiled Nick Shirley, the right-wing YouTuber behind the viral Minnesota “fraud” video. He’s built a following off xenophobic content, painting immigrants as “taking over” American cities and platforming figures like Islamophobe Tommy Robinson. theintercept.com/2025/12/31/n...

New from me @theintercept.com: the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation’s legacy will always be that of a tool of Israeli occupation and genocide, instrumental in the killings of 1000s of Palestinians and worsening a manufactured famine. Not whatever “success” GHF claims. theintercept.com/2025/11/25/g...

The tech giant deleted the accounts of three prominent Palestinian human rights groups — a capitulation to Trump sanctions.

SCOOP: YouTube deleted accounts of 3 major Palestinian human rights organizations— Al-Haq, Al Mezan, and the Palestinian Centre for Human Rights — as a part of the Trump admin's campaign to stifle accountability for alleged Israeli war crimes. ✍🏽w/ Nikita Mazurov theintercept.com/2025/11/04/y...

I just don’t think we’re freaking out enough about this SNAP cut. I have spent my whole career working with people who rely on SNAP for food. People who work multiple jobs. Who have kids. What do you think happens when 1/8th of the population can’t buy food anymore? Everything is going to collapse.

After Israel's new wave of bombings in Gaza that killed 109+ Palestinians, Taqwa Ahmed Al-Wawi, a writer/poet in Gaza, spoke to 60 residents in Gaza for @theintercept.com to ask whether they think the "ceasefire" is holding. Nearly all said "THERE IS NO CEASEFIRE." theintercept.com/2025/10/30/g...

This my official (late) announcement that I'm thrilled to share the podcast series I've been working on with a dream team over the last few years. Collateral Damage is a gutting examination of the half century long war on drugs that has built a massive war machine aimed at the public.

Breaking: Days after Trump officials toured the new U.S. base in Israel, the Israeli military launched strikes on Gaza on Tuesday, killing at least 20 Palestinians. U.S. Vice President Vance downplayed the strikes as "little skirmishes here and there." theintercept.com/2025/10/28/c...

On Friday, ICE kicked off a scheme to offer thousands of dollars to unaccompanied children as young as 14 in exchange for agreeing to be deported.

BREAKING: We've obtained a government memo revealing the start of a new ICE operation that targets unaccompanied immigrant children 14 years or older, pressuring them to take $2,500 if they agree to be deported. 💻@theintercept.com theintercept.com/2025/10/03/i...

“I am in utter shock and disbelief the government has punished my father for simply doing his life’s work of journalism,” said Oscar Guevara...“My father should have never had to face over 100 days in detention. He is the center of our family. He is the reason our home feels like home.”

"The Trump Administration is waging a secret war against undisclosed enemies without the consent of Congress, according to a confidential notice that was sent to several congressional committees this week and obtained by The Intercept." by @nickturse.bsky.social theintercept.com/2025/10/02/v...

ICE targeted Leqaa Kordia for protesting the war in Gaza. To keep her in detention for six months and counting, the Trump administration made her get sworn affidavits from family members in Palestine about money Leqaa sent them for food, fuel, and medical bills.

My latest digs into how Trump’s “peace plan” for Gaza joins a litany of U.S.-brokered deals in which Palestinian rights are sidelined for Israeli control. The deal allows Israel to indefinitely occupy Gaza and resume its genocidal campaign at any point, experts said. theintercept.com/2025/10/01/t...

My latest: As the United Nations convened in NYC this week, 10 new countries recognized Palestine as a state. Despite this, these 5 nations still ship WEAPONS TO ISRAEL, funding the genocide in Gaza. Critics called this a "performance of justice." @theintercept.com theintercept.com/2025/09/25/p...

The Week the World Woke Up to the Genocide in Gaza Pressure is mounting against Israel in the U.S. and around the world. Will it mean anything on the ground in Palestine? More must-read reporting by @jonahmv.bsky.social for @theintercept.com theintercept.com/2025/08/06/i...

My latest: —More human rights groups declared Israel's war on Gaza a Genocide —UK/France/Can prepare to recognize Palestinian statehood —A majority of Senate Dems voted AGAINST an Israel arms deal —60% of Americans disapprove of Israel's offensive But what does this mean for Palestinians in Gaza?

For my first stab at hosting the @theintercept.com podcast, I couldn't have asked for a better guest: @leahlitman.bsky.social spoke with me and @jesswash.bsky.social about SCOTUS, vibe-based constitutional scrutiny, and, of course, "Pride Puppy."
