NEW: In an investigation for @realchangenews.bsky.social, I found that Seattle’s UCT storage program rarely returns belongings collected at sweeps to homeless people. Only 1 in 15 instances, or 7% of the time, led to property going back to its original owners. Most was disposed of after 70 days.

The MAGA sponsor of H.R.9495, New York Rep. Claudia Tenney, has personally received an award from U.S. organization the Israel Heritage Foundation, which has very close ties to Israeli government officials.

“If any other type of organization had the types of relationships that the NYPD leadership has to the Israel Heritage Foundation, this would be viewed as an egregious, dangerous conflict of interest,” said Chenjerai Kumanyika, an assistant professor of journalism at New York University....

‘Maybe we need to kill more civilians,’ speaker told gathering hosted by pro-Israel nonprofit in NY At an Israel Heritage Foundation event in May 2024, Martin Oliner called for Israel to “take the lessons” from the atrocity of the U.S. atomic bombings in Japan. prismreports.org/2025/03/27/i...

Further reporting reveals intimate connections between the Israeli government and Trump presidential campaign, including an Israeli official who ran a get-out-the-vote campaign supporting Trump from inside Israel prismreports.org/2025/09/17/i...

In the 1960s Army intelligence spied on U.S. citizens, including NAACP, Black Panthers, and peace activists. During Trump's first term, SOCOM ran black box tests on information warfare specifically targeting U.S. citizens during the 2020 protests. What is Hegseth planning now?

Why would Trump want to attack the top law enforcement official who regulates nonprofits? prismreports.org/2025/09/17/i...

The top Republican party official in the United States apparently had a private meeting with Netanyahu just two months after he was hand picked by Trump to be RNC chairman in 2024. Hosted by the Israel Heritage Foundation and off-the-books of the RNC’s campaign finance filings.

Prism's investigation reveals that the Israel Heritage Foundation has met with top Israeli leaders & forged close ties to Trump admin, all while operating as a tax-exempt 501(c)(3) religious org, Glen Stellmacher reports. With their connections, IHF advocates for hard-line pro-Israel policies.

To find one RNC employee we named in this story, I exported the entire RNC payroll, went down line by line searching each name to try and find a photo match. After half a day and 190 lines of payroll, I found the staffer, who has since been hired within Trump's DOJ.

During the 2024 campaign, RNC chairman Michael Whatley, his senior advisor and numerous Trump donors traveled to Israel with the IHF. The travel appears to be off the books of campaign finance filings. Later, the IHF met with an Israeli official who ran a pro-Trump get out the vote campaign.

Relevant to Seattle’s push to expand CCTV coverage across the city in the wake of 2020 where SPD was using traffic cams to monitor protests. In London, CCTV was initially introduced for traffic control and metamorphosized into countersubversion and protest surveillance tech

What’s omitted in this report is the fact that probable cause can be established and federal criminal charges filed against any foreign national on U.S. soil under 18 U.S.C §2441 (war crimes). If the ICC did not exist, U.S. law enforcement can still arrest anyone on PC for war crimes.

It's clear the city has no interest in preserving 13 years of the monitoring team's internal records or disclosing them publicly. I asked the Seattle city archives. They said they don't ask for records. City attorney said the monitor is not part of the city, so 🤷‍♂️ SPD: 🦗🦗🦗

Bruce Harrell's office has continued to delay my public records requests concerning city coordination with ICE: www.hardpressed-info.com/seattle-mayo...

114 unique users accessed Guardian One aerial surveillance this year alone according to unpublished data I received this week.

To buy or not? There are 603 pages here. Has anyone reported on these before?

Seattle PD has not been truthful in the past about their use of surveillance technologies. Extraordinary skepticism should be levied against the department, which has a history of racist actors, false claims, stalking, misuse and misidentification

Missing context: ▪Israel Bonds are controlled by Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, who said "We conquer, cleanse... we annihilate everything that still remains" - May '25 ▪Israel Bonds NY Chair Martin Oliner said "Maybe we need to kill more civilians" - May '24

Why @jay.bsky.team completely censor a news report? Not a good look for Bluesky censoring reporting of a genocide.

@moderation.bsky.app has labeled our story as “graphic” & censored an interview with a physician about Gaza. If it’s too graphic for Bluesky to see, you can only imagine what it’s like for the children Dr Syed treats to live through. You can access front-lines movement journalism at prismreports.org

When the public wants to know if an officer who harmed them has a history of harming others, why does Seattle's Office of Police Accountability stand in the way? Why refuse to confirm the identity of an officer associated with an OPA complaint?

New Seattle PD chief gets a $50k bonus after helping promote SPD’s federal monitor’s consulting business, that hired SPD’s chief operating officer. The public gets stonewalled if you ask SPD more than 2 questions.

This is the guy, Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, who determines where Israel Bonds money is spent.

ICE has denied my FOIA request for the warrant for the arrest of Israeli National Cyber Command Director Tom Artiom Alexandrovich in Nevada on felony charges of Luring a Child with Computer for Sex Act.

Kari lake tells a federal judge she wants Newsmax to run on Voice of America. She's also saying she's the CEO of its federal parent agency. There's no documentation of that. And she may not be eligible for it under the law. My updated story: www.npr.org/2025/08/13/n...

“Kari Lake tells a federal judge she wants Newsmax to run on Voice of America.”

Orange is a protest color in Israeli society signifying a desire for permanent Israeli settlement in Gaza. In 2005 when Israel disengaged from Jewish settlements in Gaza, the hard right draped themselves in orange in protest.
