Okay I did not expect tears. (Me, not her.) Thinking of, and admiring the folks protesting for justice. On a #Jan25, no less. ❤️

BREAKING - Americans are just discovering their star journalists don't actually do journalism, and that their media primarily exist to serve or justify the state's agenda. 🤷🏽

Yemen deserves so much better than this. Than those.

It was very telling that for three days, none of the major TV anchors would have me on air one-on-one to talk about my firing from the Washington Post over Charlie Kirk. The first offers were from Black media, independent media, Substackers, and podcasters.

while our eyes are on another terrorist regime's actions, the RSF is doing the UAE's bidding in #Sudan.

Much of the affected region has become mostly inaccessible to the UN and aid groups.

Just followed a good seventy people, many of whom old colleagues, contacts and acquaintances I've not connected with in many years. Which is possibly why you clicked on this. So, hello! I hope you've been well. Do stay in touch. ☺️

Left: headline @reuters.com ran describing an attack that killed 20, including 5 journos, one of them their own. Right: updated headline after being rightfully mocked by everyone on the planet. No mention it was IN A HOSPITAL. Google still shows both headlines side by side! #CameraWasTarget

I'm imagining a film, where a company has perfected commercial time travel, and that is their ad to get people to purchase their "move to the 80s" package. Inevitable disaster/hilarity ensues. Starring Matthew Broderick, naturally. (Someone write that script. I demand a guest appearance)

My full statement on the Gaza Famine :

Every one of these protests is a terrifying experience for the asylum seekers - the wider atmosphere in the country is horrible & Labour’s reaction craven. But it’s worth remembering how much of this is generated by politicians & media openly desperate for broad unrest which simply isn’t happening

A CT state rep posted a story about reports of ICE activity in his district and asked neighbors to "look out for another" and contact advocacy groups. Libs of TikTok posted it, calling for him to be charged and tagging ICE & DHS. ICE shared it, tagging the Justice Dept. This is protected speech.

As Egypt built its High Dam, Sudan’s Nubian valleys quietly disappeared underwater, displacing thousands, burying ancient sites and submerging a lost homeland.

Just watching this excellent interview of Sigrid Kaag - I've not been following closely enough but is she no longer serving as UN Special Coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process? (she does not appear in the 'Leadership' page unsco.unmissions.org) www.youtube.com/watch?v=pWhv...

It's been extremely heavy to watch the violence in Suwayda unfold and with it, the dehumanization of the "other," the weaponization of those vulnerable, the terror of civilians, and the destabilization of Syria. @timep.bsky.social stands with the victims and has these words to offer.

Oh yeah I forgot to post this here but fortunately someone did it for me It might be preaching to the choir that "it has AI in it" is not compelling *marketing* but I write about how it's also bad *UX* because it sidetracks the team away from making good design decisions, and prioritizing the work.

Jumaa al-Hasan, a young Syrian, drowned on the night of 2-3 March last year in the north of France, during an attempted police interception. A new investigation from The New Arab can reveal that the police did nothing to save the 27-year-old and the fire brigade only carried out a minimal search⬇️

Since December we have been investigating the Assad regime's killings in Saydnaya prison. Based on interviews with 21 former detainees, we show the extent of the atrocities committed in the prison, including an incident in March 2023 in which some 600 men were executed in one week:

"I was shocked to see one of the nurses who I worked with carrying my daughter... she was dead." This broke me. Dr Khaled Hamouda, Gaza surgeon, in tearful testimony to 'Gaza: Doctors Under Attack,' the film they didn't want you to see. Full film, that the BBC dropped, from Zeteo: gazadoctors.film

One day away. Happy pride month all!

As a Harvard alum, I've watched the uni fire professors and students for upholding moral positions, send foreign students files to DHS, threaten protesters with the police. None of that bothered the lot of you, did it. Only a financial threat did. Garber and friends - and the uni - can get fucked.

The head of Ru's delegation to the talks w Ukr is not a diplomat but a PR guy/amateur historian/ex-culture minister who likely ghostwrote Pu's 2021 essay denying the existence of a Ukr nation and definitely wrote Ru's school history textbooks. This profile in the NYT outlines his supremacist...

There is a really key point in this interview with Zoe where she's asked why more cruelty won't stop immigration. Her answer is absolutely accurate: "Why because in these circumstances migration is life" (not doing so being death). Cruelty is no deterant. It's just cruelty.
