it’s legit radicalizing stuff that people are being arrested for these beliefs while the political establishment is, at the same fucking time, starting to agree with them

The other journalists killed: reporter Mohammed Qreiqeh, videographers Moamen Aliwa and Ibrahim Zaher and operator Mohammed Noufal.
The Israeli murder of Palestinian journalists is always intentional, always met with silence. And that's why it keeps happening. don't look away

Sickening. Every journalist in America should think deeply about the fact that most American politicians are willing to accept and indeed facilitate the murder of our colleagues.

The silence of so many Western journalists to the slaughter of their colleagues in Gaza (whose reporting they’ve relied upon) is already shameful.

But, this headline from Reuters tonight is unforgivable.

Parroting Israel’s grotesque, discredited & transparent lies.

Fuck Reuters.
The headline reads: Israel kills Al Jazeera journalist it says was Hamas leader

Hey, I'd like to draw some attention to Alaa's family today, especially the twins, Ella and Ellen. They are sweeties and they need help with basic necessities like food and water.

Their story continues in this thread.
An illustration of two young girls, holding hands, smiling, and waving at the viewer. Speech bubbles above their heads say "Hello!!" "My name is Ella!" "My name is Ellen!" "We are twins!" The girls are gesturing between them to an older boy who is also smiling and waving at the viewer, while saying, "Hi!" The girls are saying, "This is our big brother! His name is Musa!" An illustration of the three children in a living room doing various activities. Musa is sitting on a couch with a tablet, and a zoom in shows he is playing Minecraft. Ella is drawing on a piece of paper with crayon. Ellen is spinning around with musical notes around her. The text on the image says, "We like to play together in our home! Musa likes Minecraft! Ella loves drawing! Ellen loves dancing!" A picture of Ella, Ellen, and Musa, together with their mother and father, looking towards the background, which is a photo of the destruction in Gaza. The text on the image says, "But our home was destroyed by bombs, so we can't play there anymore."

WaPo has more photos here (gift link), just boggles the mind wapo.st/4m3C3Wy
(slides 6 and 7 state that all of these photos were taken on a flight where the journalists weren't explicitly told in advance that they couldn't photograph, hoping that blunts any IDF fallout)

There's no organized effort or call-to-action happening that I know of regarding what's occurred over the past few days. But I will say:

Every single person right now spreading the word helps. It helps her (& his) victims. It helps keep them accountable in the court of public opinion & liability.

Genocide from starvation apparently doesn't count if there was a preexisting condition according to the New York Times.
A tweet from NYTimes Communications (@NYTimesPR) reads: "We have appended an Editors' Note to a story about Mohammed Zakaria al-Mutawaq, a child in Gaza who was diagnosed with severe malnutrition. After publication, The Times learned that he also had pre-existing health problems. Read more below." Below the tweet is an image with text on a dark blue background. The text states: “Children in Gaza are malnourished and starving, as New York Times reporters and others have documented. We recently ran a story about Gaza’s most vulnerable civilians, including Mohammed Zakaria al-Mutawaq, who is about 18 months old and suffers from severe malnutrition. We have since learned new information, including from the hospital that treated him and his medical records, and have updated our story to add context about his pre-existing health problems. This additional detail gives readers a greater understanding of his situation. Our reporters and photographers continue to report from Gaza, bravely, sensitively, and at personal risk, so that readers can see firsthand the consequences of the war.” — A spokesperson for The New York Times.

I have had multiple people reach out saying 'what she did to me wasn't as bad, so I shouldn't speak up.'

Y'all: SAY SOMETHING

It's not a competition. What Saige is doing to Omar is worse than she did to me. She preys on people who won't or can't fight back. Now is your chance

Jordon Brown fucked up.

His clout-chasing, parasocial amateur run at drama hurt people and forced victims to air deeply personal information to clear their names.

He will, and maybe should, get to move on from this mistake.

But any minority who did the same would have their life haunted forever.

I posted this on Insta a couple days ago! I think the misinformation has been largely cleared up (the creator who “reported” it took the video down with an apology, other involved parties have provided info, and there seems to be a healthy convo about how to read legal documents), but just in case!
There is currently an online rumor going around that one of my best and closest friends, Omar, was arrested. I can tell you…. this simply is not true. I am his roommate and can account for his whereabouts on most days. On the day in question he has multiple receipts and alibis and, most importantly, I SAW HIM AND KNOW THAT HE WAS NOT ARRESTED. His ex partner is posting things in such a way to make it seem like he is a dangerous criminal, and it’s not the first time she has publicly distributed misleading information. I’ve known Omar for almost 20 years. Omar is ace and does charity work for the LGBTQ community. I have known him to be a kind person who is socially conscious and aims for representation in the characters he creates. For the last year he has aimed not to take profits from the online D&D games he plays and instead donates his wages to things like Trans Lifeline. He isn’t even prominently in the TTRPG world anymore other than this, yet he has stayed in the space in a small handful of select games only for the sake of his friends who he made commitments to, and for the fact that he can then donate. Some of the reasons he took a step back from the space in this last year is because of a new job and new relationship. But another big reason was because of the toxic relationship he endured, the sadness and fear he felt about his ex, and the fact that she is a figure in this space. In one of the videos spreading this rumor, some comments call for Omar to drop out… …of the panels he is on for an upcoming convention, Gen Con. I’d like to set the record straight that weeks ago, I personally advised him to drop out of those panels and not attend the con because I knew his ex would be there and I had a bad feeling that she was ramping up some sort of attack on him. Omar excused himself from those panels on my advice, long before these posts happened. He also had to make venue security aware when he went to do a public show, for fear that she would try something. If you see any news that he is no longer on the panels, please know that it is not because of any punitive action. Lastly I’ll add that I’m very disturbed and saddened by this turn of events. I wish everyone involved much healing, but for anyone who might be involved in this: please don’t drag my friend down in the process without any evidence or research. Luckily I think that his reputation speaks for itself with how willing his partner, friends, and community are willing to speak to him. In the future everyone will have their day in court and that is where I believe the truth will come out ❤️

I'm very much at the periphery of this, but let it be said loudly that I believe Kelly, I believe @dailydael.bsky.social, and I believe Omar in this. I have a story about Saige...

That Saturday I was at Comic Con. That night, the rumor spread to me. But I check my sources.

What Saige deliberately did to B. Dave’s and *countless others* (mostly POC) careers is IRREPARABLE.

And the fact Carlos is in on it too? Holding their victims back from being cast in Dropout?

Evil.

Alright, here's what Saige did to me.
If you're a PoC you are not safe around her.

The last THREE YEARS have been heartbreaking and soul-crushing, and I'm SO glad to finally be able to speak out publicly.

I'm still at SDCC, so I may add more later: www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/rcfsd...

Believe them!! This shit has been going on for so long and was not my story to tell publicly but has been so painful to watch friends go through.

I’ve seen what Surena, Omar, B Dave and *more* have been through and was so vocal about it behind the scenes but not everyone would listen-
ifycomedy.com Ify Nwadiwe @ifycomedy.com · Jul 28
Spoke with Surena, checked in, and I’m only going to say a few things. (Even if she did say I can let the chopper sing) The only reason I’m saying anything is because while everyone wants to step away “until they have all the facts”, that didn’t stop many people from spreading the lies via texts.

Many in LA TTRPG are terrified to speak up about their accounts re: Saige & Carlos is because Saige has been spreading lies nonstop over the past two years to *anyone* that would listen to her. They've ruined several POCs careers.

Carlos is the EP of Dimension 20 & a Producer at Dropout.

Speak up.
