After reporting he was raped while in ICE detention at Delaney Hall, a gay asylum seeker from Colombia (who is married to a US citizen) was transferred from the Delaney to a different facility in Mississippi with no explanation. Staff are also denying him his HIV medication.

I don't think anyone will survive in the Gaza Strip in the end. Israel continues the massacre. This bombing is 500 meters away from my tent in Deir al-Balah.

This is exactly the kind of censorship that artists are worried about with these massive studio mergers btw

Never ask a woman:
- her age
- her salary
- how long she's been a Knicks fan

The full interview with @ScottPelley . https://t.co/69OMAPlcrn

[Jim LaPorta @JimLaPorta]

Factual thoughts….@ScottPelley and @mhenryschuster were embedded with my Marine infantry unit in 2009—it was incredibly violent in Helmand. They told our story well. Years later, my unit suffered multiple suicides, they came back to cover that too. I wrote him when I was hired.

[Jeremy Barr @jeremymbarr]

Chief correspondent Jim Axelrod reported the story on the CBS Evening News. "It's been a tumultuous three days for CBS News," he said."

A pretty transparent story about the controversy ... and a look back on Pelley's career.

Then Tony Dokoupil offered his own recollection on working with Pelley: "He believed freedom of the press — to quote Madison — was the right that guaranteed all the others, and the stakes are always that high. And that if you made it to CBS News you were among the best in the world. He worked every single day to live up to that standard." (The show then rolled the tape on some of Pelley's past work.)

[Ben Mullin @BenMullin]

Scott Pelley just issued a statement on Bari's remarks this morning:

[Natalie Korach @NatalieKorach]

Charles Forelle, a top Weiss deputy and managing editor of CBS News, interjected, telling Pelley that he was being "rude."

"This is not actually productive," Forelle said. "This is not an interview."

"It's working for me," Pelley replied.

BREAKING:

Israel is dropping white phosphorus bombs on civilian areas in the village of Arnoun, Nabatieh, South Lebanon.

These are internationally banned munitions — and Israel is unleashing them against civilians.

Today marks Nakba Day, an annual day of remembrance to commemorate the expulsion of more than 700,000 Palestinians between 1947 and 1949 during the creation of the State of Israel and the year that followed.

Inea is a New Yorker and a Nakba survivor. She shared her story with us — one of home, tradition and memory over generations.

[New York Magazine @NYMag]

“Sometime last year, my block in Crown Heights started turning orange,” writes Adriane Quinlan. “When the sun set, our windows burned in the apricot tones of the old sodium-vapor lamps.” The shift began with one window, but the spread was swift — up and down the block there were shades of marigold and poppy, Werther’s Butterscotch and Gatorade. From the West Village to Williamsburg, windows became filled with safety-vest orange.

“I bet there is a caveman-brain-related thing where it’s comforting to be in the glow of a fire,” says Dan Goedeker, a director of photography. “Orange is a resistance to the sterility of modern life,” speculates Quinlan’s neighbor Grace Ginsburg, who turns on her orange lamps when she’s done with a day’s work on backlit, bluish screens.

Quinlan observes how we’ve hit peak orange in our lighting: https://t.co/Q40I3qcORs

He murdered Renee Nicole Good.

Shot her three times and then called her a “f*cking b*tch”.

Her last words? “It’s ok dude I’m not mad”.

He got three days administrative leave before being transferred to another state.

No punishment. No accountability. No justice.

Councilmember @OsseChi was arrested a bit ago while attending a protest against an eviction in Bedstuy.

NYPD officers can be seen tackling him to the ground in this video posted on Instagram:

[Piper French @PiperSFrench]

The woman whose home Chi is defending is Carmela Charrington, who has been in Rikers for 6 days now for for fighting the theft of her family's home. "Our community is pretty much gone," she told me last month. Said people need to be asking: "How did it happen? Who did it?"
