“Overlooked” or deliberately ignored?

After being shot by an Israeli sniper yesterday, Gazan journalist Fadi Al-Wahidi is now in a coma and permanently paralyzed, according to doctors. I couldn't find any mention of Fadi’s story in Western media; it's been completely overlooked.

If it wasn’t enough that Ron DeSantis killed the free call program, the state has also joined 13 other Republican-led states in a lawsuit fighting the FCC’s new rules that would lover call fees nationwide.

Free prison call program rewarded good behavior, cost taxpayers zero. DeSantis killed it miamiherald.com/news/state/flo…

People need to understand. The recent warfare on encampments is 1) not the *initiation* of warfare but an escalation and intensification of long ext'g practices and 2) like shown here, an intentional broadening of attack to include journalism + advocacy/resistance/organizing.

Earlier I narrowly avoided arrest while filming a homeless sweep in Skid Row. An officer said they were going to write me a ticket but another suggested they take me to jail. Then they told me to put my phone away and struggled to cite the law that I allegedly violated. @LATACO

As older Americans wrestle with debt, some have turned to activism. Donahue organizes with Debt Collective. “We’ve bailed out corporations, we pay for wars, while those of us working and trying to survive are not considered, particularly elderly people.” nymag.com/intelligencer/…

Thank you to the Members of Congress standing with the 33,000 @IAM751 and W24 members holding the line for fair wages, retirement, job security, and a better future. Your support strengthens our fight for what’s right. #OurFuture2024 #OneDayLonger #UnionStrong

NEW: 30 members of Congress, led by @RepJayapal and @USProgressives, call on @Boeing to return to the negotiating table for a fair contract with 33,000 IAM members. The offer falls short of worker demands, even as the company compensated its CEO more than $32 million in 2023.

When you clear people from downtowns, they seek shelter in more dangerous and remote areas like riverbeds. They don't just disappear like the cops and government want them to.

“How was [historic atrocity] allowed to happen?” basically like this

I deleted this because we just don’t know if it’s true or not—and it’s something that shouldn’t be shared without substantial evidence to back it up (like the Canadian mass graves—which turned out to be mere phantoms).

You say this while: Multiple cop cities are being built NOW Many people can't afford rent and are going homeless NOW We're in a climate catastrophe and fossil fuel is being extracted NOW Kids are still in cages NOW Hundreds of thousands have no healthcare or are underinsured NOW…

Suit yourself. But if Trump wins, your chances are gone and probably won't come back. think about that.

The @CityAttorneyLA wants the city to pay $450K for lawyers relating to a whistleblower claim made against her. Hydee pushed a prosecutor to charge an organizer at the behest of AIPAC. When prosecutor said no, Hydee started spying on her. We shouldn’t pay for Hydee’s corruption!

Journalistic malpractice for @nytimes author @sharonNYT to edit my tweet out of context when quoting me in this latest piece about Columbia university. Why not include the full tweet where October 7th is mentioned as a day of resistance against Nazism and Zionism? Too nuanced?
