on the challenges of creating culture as a Muslim filmmaker: “At worst, we are condemned as monsters; at best, we are objects of pity in stories that attempt to “humanize” us. We so rarely get to tell our stories from our own lens.” latimes.com/opinion/story/… #MyMuslimFilm #Sundance

Contributor: As a Muslim filmmaker, I want to tell my own story
Muslim filmmakers want to tell stories where our humanity is assumed, not up for debate.
With eyes on Venezuela, Israel is bombing Gaza and escalating its assault on the West Bank
The Israeli army imposed complete siege on Ramallah and BirZeit cities.
Words they don’t use: illegal, war, coup, international law, violation, sovereignty. This is how you normalize imperialism.
Unbearable grief. Two and a half years of just unbearable, immeasurable all-consuming grief.
We bid farewell to a heavy, painful year—one that broke our hearts beyond endurance and took from us the best among us. We lost our brave journalists, who carried the truth on their shoulders and paid for it with their lives. Each had a story unfinished, a simple dream of life:…
These fear-mongering campaigns have deadly consequences. The Chicago man who stabbed 6 year old Wadea El Fayoume had been listening to talk radio shows falsely claiming Muslims were planing a day of rage. He killed the boy, his neighbor, because he was Muslim.
“A rough year for journalists” That’s @AP’s way of describing the deadliest year for their colleagues.
Happy new year my dear fellows on this planet, I wish you a year full of activism and turning this world into our world for real
This is… more wild than I even imagined? The top editor at the New York Times argues they're not to blame for reporting that Iraq had WMDs because… they didn't know the government was lying about Iraq having WMDs. What?? It's YOUR JOB to figure that out!!!
For those baffled by NYT executive editor Joseph Kahn insisting the paper got the "Screams without Words" story right, here he is at Davos a few years ago insisting that the paper's stories about WMD in Iraq were also right.
In the ruins of Shifa hospital and despite the genocidal war on Gaza 168 Palestinian medical doctors graduated yesterday as board specialists in different medical fields.
Israel promised to allow 60,000 Caravans & 200,000 tents into Gaza 11 MONTHS ago Not a single caravan has been allowed, & Israel is restricting the entry of tents under the lunatic pretext that "Hamas might use the [tiny bit] of aluminium in tents to make ballistic missiles"
🚨Clarification: Netanyahu continues to prevent the entry of caravans, bulldozers & trucks to Gaza through Egypt's Rafah crossing, despite mediators getting assurances on this Dozens of caravans & heavy vehicles are still at the Rafah crossing awaiting permission to enter Gaza…
Average conversation with mainstream media journalist: Me: Israel is still restricting aid, food & tents from entering Gaza Journalist: But Israel denies this Me: Amnesty, the UN, WFP, UNRWA, WHO, ICRC.. basically the entire alphabet say otherwise! Even Israeli numbers prove…
Palestine is shrinking. Israel is expanding. History books are not needed to understand colonialism. It’s on live stream.
🚨 Nothing to see here. Just Israel building 13 military outposts in and around the 58% of Gaza they've stolen. But yeah, it was about the hostages, right?

Palestinians tell BBC they were sexually abused in Israeli prisons
Two men say they experienced the kind of abuse highlighted in recent reports on Israel's treatment of prisoners, which Israel denies.
The Israeli military’s own numbers tell the story of mass slaughter against an entire people but the corporate legacy media will still tell you it’s a “war against Hamas.”
Winter death toll in Gaza reaches 17 as calls on Israel to lift aid blockade grow middleeasteye.pulse.ly/j5khixxm0l
More than 1,000 charities submitted federal tax filings without language reflecting diversity, equity and inclusion efforts in mission statements from their earlier filings. Others went as far as to change their names: propub.li/3MOEVJW

Congress is trying to ram through 18 mass censorship and surveillance bills. CALL UR REPS and tell them: —NO to KOSA —NO to Section 230 reform —NO online digital ID laws —NO age verification laws —NO to the SCREEN Act —NO to the App Store Accountability Act (digital ID system)
As the severe rain and windstorm hits Gaza, bomb-damaged buildings are collapsing across the Strip. A man has just died after a wall fell on him Israel continues to block the entry of caravans and reconstruction materials
"“After the drone entered the olive press,” Karam said, “a terrifying silence fell over the hundreds of people inside. Everyone hid, trying not to make a sound. Then the drone dropped a bomb inside the press, killing and injuring many. More bombs followed. We realized that if we…
These testimonies from Al-Maghazi survivors form a critical archive of Israel’s war crimes: entire families killed, bodies unrecognizable, homes crushed by D9 bulldozers, and starving civilians shot at “aid” sites. The world must hear them. palestine-studies.org/en/node/1658078
ICE has held Leqaa Kordia, a Columbia University student, in prison for nine months for her Palestine activism. There is no daylight between the fascist forces committing genocide in Gaza and the fascist forces snatching people off the street in America. It is the same fight.
🇵🇸 The last Columbia University protester still in ICE detention, Leqaa Kordia, describes conditions inside the Texas facility where she has been held for the past nine months. KORDIA: “Right now, we’re 87 people and the capacity is 37. A lot of people are sleeping on the…
