“Our existence here is political.”

Irish rap trio @kneecapceol are no strangers to controversy or for standing up for the oppressed – from Palestine to Cuba. @dena spoke to them about their music and their politics.

[AJ+ @ajplus]

Israel has just charged settler Yinon Levi with killing Palestinian human rights defender Awdah Hathaleen last year. But how likely is a conviction?

@dena spoke with Awdah’s cousin after the news broke.

[AJ+ @ajplus]

Did you know some pro-Palestine activists have been held in solitary confinement, while others are being sentenced as “terrorists”?

@Dena explains what’s happening to those who took direct action to protest Israel’s genocide.

Comment des corps donnés à la science ont-ils fini dans un programme de formation de médecins militaires israéliens ? Regardez l’enquête d’AJ+ menée par @Dena Takruri.

[AJ+ @ajplus]

Americans who signed up to donate their bodies to science after death are now backing out after learning they could end up on an operating table in front of Israeli military surgeons. @dena explains.

[AJ+Español @ajplusespanol]

Médicos militares israelíes se están formando con cadáveres proporcionados por dos universidades estadounidenses, todo ello sin el consentimiento de los donantes. @Dena.Takruri nos lo cuenta en este documental.

A must watch investigation by @Dena

[AJ+ @ajplus]

Israeli military medics are training on dead Americans. And it’s all happening thanks to a little-known connection between two U.S. universities and the Navy.

@Dena reports in collaboration with the student journalists who broke the story about the body donor program.

[AJ+ @ajplus]

Why are bodies donated to two California universities ending up in trainings with Israeli military medics in Los Angeles? @Dena investigates this in her latest Direct From documentary that drops on May 11. Click the link to turn on your notifications on YouTube🔔

[The CCR is on bsky (@ccrjustice.org) @theCCR]

@RutgersU canceled a graduation speaker because of his views on Palestinian rights. That’s unconstitutional. CCR has sent a letter to Rutgers demanding they reinstate Rami Elghandour as the 2026 School of Engineering convocation speaker.

[Noura Erakat @4noura]

Do better @RutgersU. Thousands of your students and faculty want to hear @RamiElghandour speak. You are disrespecting all of us when you cancel him bc “~5 students” complained. What about the 1000s of students who deserve to be represented?

[Dena Takruri @Dena]

I know @RamiElghandour. Rutgers picked the wrong guy to cancel.

[Prem Thakker @prem_thakker]

NEW: Months ago, Rami Elghandour (biotech CEO & "The Voice of Hind Rajab" EP) was invited to give a Rutgers grad speech.

It's now canceled. Because some students complained about his posts.

He takes us inside the cancelation in his first video interview:https://t.co/PKD0O0bVni

Ahmed Shihab-Eldin, an American journalist, has been detained for 46 days in Kuwait under new security and fake news laws. The Kuwaiti government must release our friend & colleague immediately. Journalism is NOT a crime. Sign the petition: https://t.co/7pVs4oEaY4 #FreeAhmed

[Chris Murphy 🟧 @ChrisMurphyCT]

This is part of a larger trend of governments - including the Trump administration - trying to censor journalists reporting on the realities of this war.

Ahmed Shihab-Eldin must be released immediately.
