A UN commission of inquiry concluded that Israel has committed four of the five genocidal acts defined under the 1948 Genocide Convention, and has such called on governments worldwide to stop sending weapons to Israel. mondoweiss.net/2025/09/un-i... #Palestine #Israel

Have been trying to formulate some of this for a while and I'm glad I got to write it down, including an interview with Dr. Erin Steuter, for @prismreports.org.

Today at #datajconf: we talked about what we've learned about pedagogy in the process of running datajournalismteachers.club. Focused on grounding data journalism in tools *and* humanities, teaching with a learner-centered rather than a "banking" model, and how we learn in community. Join the club!

I'm speaking today at @datajconf.com to data journalists, and trying to convince them it's a good idea to collaborate with civic sector and advocacy organizations on data-driven news stories! Very excited, a little nervous!

I’ve heard from a lot of parents who are NOT introducing their kids to generative AI but fewer who are. If you are using generative AI with your young children and are open to chatting about it, please get in touch!

By far, the most needed AI tool I learned about at #datajconf was introduced by Bette Dam asking: "Can we use an AI tool to investigate ourselves [journalists] rather than someone else?" Bette has reported on Afghanistan for decades and knows intimately how deeply flawed elite news coverage is.

I'm at #datajconf in Athens this week and one very cool thing we've done is take a tour of the library of Journalists' Union of Athens Daily Newspapers, where they've kept a history of Greek news outlets. This is one of the oldest prints they have of, I believe, a paper called Neos Aristophanes.

Four journalists were killed by an Israeli strike on a Gaza hospital today, including Mariam Dagga, a freelancer with the @apnews.com. She has a 12-year-old son, who was evacuated from Gaza earlier in the war. She was a true hero, like all of our Palestinian colleagues in Gaza. tinyurl.com/3cn5c9vb

Imagine if NYTimes journalists were being routinely massacred by a foreign state and competing media outlets responded by explaining that the Times is a mouthpiece for imperialism and propaganda arm of the US and Israeli governments such that murdering its workers was defensible.

Anas Al Sharif spent 17 of his 28 years living under a brutal blockade supported by your tax $. In 2008-09 and 2014, he survived bombings paid for by your tax $. In 2023-2025 he documented a genocide funded by your tax $. He was assassinated today with your tax $.

Yesterday, my research team and I had the privilege to host a walking tour and oral history workshop with @asadfromnyc.bsky.social. It was exactly the mix of history, journalism, community and critique I've been wanting to put together through my work with @lendercenter.bsky.social.

“It’s just a tool! People used to hate on photoshop too.” Take away my photoshop, take away my tablets, I can still draw. Take away your plagiarism machine and what are you gonna do? Shout prompts at me?

Votes are not done, and more than half the Senate Democratic caucus has voted to block weapons sales to Israel. Such an idea was nearly unimaginable before. The politics of Israel-Palestine are changing in the US.

As promised, in light of the WaPo report of Everglades camp detainees being swarmed by mosquitoes in the shower and unable to sleep at night due to being bitten, I want to briefly address concentration camp history and mosquitoes. I won't be comprehensive but will give a few examples. [1/17]

This was twenty months ago. Israeli forces have killed more than 14,186 kids since.

Even setting aside substance, “a freelance healthcare journalist reporting in the NYT on a mayoral candidate’s old college application obtained in a hack and flagged by a prominent racist who is granted anonymity even though everyone knows who he is” is one of the strangest stories I’ve ever read

ATTN IMMIGRATION ATTORNEYS/ADVOCATES: I'm working on a piece about ICE continuing to detain people AFTER they have won relief from an immigration judge. Pls reach out on Signal - tanvim.05 - if you have represented someone who has had that experience or been tracking this? TY.

See if you can spot the difference between New York Times propaganda and the Israeli press. I know it’s subtle, let me know if you can’t figure it out.

A pogrom.

Mahmood Mamdani (yes, that Mamdani): "The first cost America has paid for embracing terror is a growing erosion of democracy at home. The will to separate foreign from domestic policy is characteristic of imperial democracies and was one of the key legacies of the Cold War...

If you were too young in 2003 here is what Bush told the American people: 1) The Iraq War won’t cost a lot of money 3) We won’t need a lot of troops 4) We’ll bring peace and freedom to Iraq 5) We’ll find WMDs 6) We’ll be welcomed as liberators 7) It will be easy 8) It won’t take long All lies.

“We are setting the foundation for the next generation’s ‘War on Terror,’” said Wes Bryant, who served until earlier this year as the senior analyst and adviser on precision warfare, targeting, and civilian harm mitigation at the Pentagon. theintercept.com/2025/06/21/i...

A beautiful and profound read to start Father’s Day. “I believe we're good enough to do better."

There's something about the idea of two billionaires sniping at each other from, as the NYT put it, "their own social media platforms" -- that is, the platforms they each own -- that encapsulates something deeply deeply off about the current era

Not to be whoa is me bc I'll be fine! But trying to pay rent every month means deciding which stories to spend time on, and every single incentive structure on the internet pushes you against challenging power. This is why people end up grifting to the right!

From the reply brief @knightcolumbia.org @aaup.bsky.social & @mesa1966.bsky.social filed last night in our challenge to the lawless arrests of student protesters. knightcolumbia.org/documents/2d...

I can't emphasize enough that the most important thing journalists can do right now is publish exactly this kind of article

"At the time of Khalil’s arrest, a DHS spokesperson accused Khalil of leading activities 'aligned to Hamas'...But the government has not produced any evidence linking Khalil to Hamas, and made no reference to the group in their most recent filing."

Trump is calling for ethnic cleansing—“clean out that whole thing” was his phrase!—but the NYT manages to make him sound like a humanitarian.
