I’m going to thread any MMFA layoff announcements here.

I can’t recommend any of my colleagues enough — they’re all incredibly talented, smart, hardworking people who you should definitely hire:

[Ari Drennen @AriDrennen]

Many of my best colleagues at Media Matters lost their jobs today. I'm sharing their announcements in this thread. However you feel about our work, it should worry you that any billionaire could do this to any outlet at any time for any reason. It's a sad day for free speech. 🧵

[Angelo Carusone @GoAngelo]

Media Matters has won its lawsuit against Texas AG Ken Paxton.

Paxton (at Elon Musk’s encouragement) launched an investigation into Media Matters.

We sued asking court to bar him from proceeding. We were just granted our injunction.

Big win for us and free speech!

Lost amid the justifiable outrage provoked by NBC/MSNBC hiring Ronna McDaniel is that MS's flagship Morning Joe has been cheerleading Israel's genocidal military campaign from the start.

This morning, the ADL's Greenblatt compared a keffiyeh to a swastika (via @noah_dowe)

Staggering. For those who still cannot see why an immediate ceasefire is needed.

The "0 years old" alone lasted for 33 seconds.

No other media outlet in the world will tell you this.

[Omar El Akkad @omarelakkad]

If any Western journalist was subjected to this horror, every reporter and media organization would condemn it. There would be no hiding behind some convenient interpretation of objectivity or neutrality because everyone would suddenly remember that silence is neither.

Bidding farewell to his third child in around two months.. Aljazeera correspondent Wael al-Dahdouh lost his eldest son Hamza in an Israeli airstrike today.

In October, he lost his wife and 2 other children in the ongoing Israeli attacks.

[Abid Hussain @abidhussayn]

More than 300 Pakistanis were aboard Adriana, which drowned off the southwestern coast of Greece, resulting in death of more than 700.
@AliaChughtai and I traveled to Gujarat and Kashmir to meet some of the families.

This is their story. For @AJEnglish

Earlier this week, a journalist in Gaza made one of the war's grimmest discoveries: four dead babies, their bodies decomposing on the beds in Al-Nasr Hospital where they had been left. This is the story of what happened: https://t.co/Dy7SJqrN1A [paywall free]

Hi. Am working with @catebrown12 and other @washingtonpost colleagues to gather accounts of people who have lost their jobs after posting, commenting, or speaking about #Palestine #Gaza and #Israel. Is this you? Reach me here or at maham(dot)javaid(at)https://t.co/nLiho9SfLP

What are the odds these residents are allowed to return to whatever is left of their homes? Do you understand what we’re witnessing here?

[Abid Hussain @abidhussayn]

I recently spent some time with an Afghan family who were forced to move here due to fears of reprisal from the ruling Taliban.

“We had a great life, a normal life, and that is the one thing that I miss the most. I don’t think I can ever get that again.”
