As all eyes rightfully turn to #Gaza, the violence escalates in the #Westbank.
The olive harvest, a crucial time for Palestinians, has turned into a life-threatening moment. Many have been killed in their fields.

For Palestinians in the West Bank, this year’s olive harvest has become a life-threatening undertaking. As settler ram up their attacks, farmers are being forced to choose between their lives & their livelihoods. @hanaselias reports @thenation & @972mag.

[+972 Magazine @972mag]

Escalating violence by Israeli settlers has dangerously coincided with the olive harvest season, which occurs between October and November each year.

@hanaselias reports for +972 and @thenation.

Curious, @NYCTSubway how are bus routes chosen? Is it by the mta bus company, or do you work with urban designers?

[More Perfect Union @MorePerfectUS]

NEW: NYC Taxi drivers are on day 5 of a hunger strike. Thousands of drivers are $500K+ in debt after being deceived by the city.

They’ve lost their homes, retirement savings, and some have been driven to suicide.

But @NYCMayor is pushing a plan to bailout banks, not drivers.

In December 2019, we had our first premiere at @cjsdocumentary doc fest!! Watching your film on the big screen for the first time is terrifying. We were so honoured to have shared this moment with Somia and… https://t.co/54rPRRUX3a

So happy that our short doc "Holding Fire" was selected by @dcshorts for its September festival! It's a difficult time for first time filmmakers trying to showcase their work, but I'm grateful for festivals making it work no matter what. @hanaselias

[Dream Defenders @Dreamdefenders]

How did we get here? Why does police brutality happen and why does it happen so often? Why does the U.S have the largest incarcerated population in the world?! Let's take a look at the timeline of mass incarceration…

I've been seeing a lot of tweets of people noting how kitted out police are vs care workers & I actually did a quick break down of the cost of gear to kit out an officer vs how much it costs to kit out a care worker in PPE. A thread 1/11 #GeorgeFloydProtests #Covid_19

[The New York Times @nytimes]

A tanker truck barreled through thousands of peaceful protesters in Minneapolis as the crowd rushed out of the way. The driver was arrested and officials said no one was hit, though some protesters told local media that they had seen people with injuries.
