Our beloved Alice Wong has joined the ancestors. It was one of the great honors of my life to call Alice my friend, co-author & co-conspirator. She was a true genius, a force of nature the likes of which the world has never seen before. I love you, Alice, and am equal parts grateful and devastated

Anyone else noticed how Nazi rallies get the go-ahead fairly easily from state governments, then the horrified public reaction is weaponised to pass anti-protest laws, which are then used to quash anti-genocide dissent and justify police assaults on small brown women? You picking up on this, too??

For all the BS capitulation to Jill Segel that's happened in Australian unis, I was pleasantly surprised to be in a work all-staff where the host referred to it as "the genocide in Gaza", without any qualifying statements around Hamas & "antisemitism" (bonus separation of zionists and Jewish folk)

My real fucking problem with his keighleyness is that (and this could just be an algo thing) I've never seen him give interviews, or do anything interactive outside of social media and his events. Which highly reduces the chances for good journalists to call him on his shit to his face.

Yes, no one should really be talking to the New York Times.
It is increasingly clear that there is a crisis of trust in legacy media, five-alarm fire stuff. It is bad for any news outlet to have a reputation that wards off people it should be talking to, and the wary are growing in number

"For the past two years, +972 has worked closely with a team of freelance reporters inside Gaza."

"[T]hey have sought to piece together the fragments of life, loss, and resistance."

The genocide through their eyes: An illustrated timeline
For two years, our team of journalists in Gaza illuminated what Israel sought to keep hidden, while enduring the very displacement, starvation, and loss that they reported on. This is what they saw.

Peston: A boycott of a democracy? How dare you

Peston: Wow would you look at the time
