holy fuck

[The New York Times @nytimes]

Breaking News: Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva defeated Flávio Bolsonaro to stay president of Brazil, halting the right’s march in Latin America. Follow live updates. https://t.co/vr6TetYb1D

[Jack Mirkinson @jackmirkinson]

Today in @thenation: a jaw-dropping investigation from Emmet Frazier (@moresycamore) on the damage that corporate and political interference caused to Scientific American. The stuff that Emmet uncovered from inside the magazine is NUTS. A must-read. https://t.co/uDhJh72xG9

[Christopher Shay @ChrisBurkeShay]

Earlier this year, Sarah Chihaya was diagnosed with MSA—a terminal neurodegenerative disease. Right now, she can no longer read or write—this will be her last piece. And it's a brilliant one about Emily Brontë and unknowability. https://t.co/BHfV6MdUNL

[Tisya Mavuram @tmavuram]

My first in @thenation as a staff member! I wrote about Zohran Mamdani's predicament with the NYPD: https://t.co/1YRCyUYNql

[Merrick 🦂 @punishedmother]

I think a lot of even left-leaning people are inclined to downplay one of the more famous current comedians calling all women “whores” on one of the country’s most well known shows bc of how misogynistic it is on here daily but that’s actually really scary and bad he did that

[Jack Mirkinson @jackmirkinson]

UPDATE: Ever since @thenation published this piece two months ago, people have been asking for a way to support Maryam and her family—who remain in ICE detention.

Maryam and her team have now launched a website for you to be able to do just that: https://t.co/NiA0pdiPcY

[Jack Mirkinson @jackmirkinson]

Today in @thenation: a harrowing piece written from inside the Dilley ICE detention center by Maryam Tahmasebi, a green card holder who's been locked up along with her husband and son for months despite none of them committing any crime. https://t.co/CeMlfwGToa

[The Nation @thenation]

Over the past month, the Turkish government has launched an unprecedentedly severe crackdown on the LGBTQ community. What's going on? https://t.co/AR8hSaVb16

[Christopher Shay @ChrisBurkeShay]

Sarah Chihaya on why Anne Carson's “The Glass Essay” "is indisputably the greatest breakup poem ever written." As fine an essay as you'll ever read. https://t.co/xkYvW5iBtH

[Jack Mirkinson @jackmirkinson]

zohran is being confronted with the inevitable reality that you cannot wish the nypd's malign presence in nyc away, no matter how much you might not want to deal with it. at some point, something's gotta give

[Timmy Facciola @TimmyFacciola_]

Darializa Avila Chevalier is on the front lines and got knocked down as NYPD and protestors shoved and fought over police barricades

[Ariana Jasmine @arianajasmine__]

Hey so ICE shooting a car with a 5 year old child in it is exactly what the IDF does to Palestinian families

[Luca Saeed @cityascanvass]

For all the moral panic about Hasan Piker, establishment Democrats have no issue hanging around a truly unrepentant bigot: Bill Maher. My latest for @thenation

https://t.co/sM2D9dZFff

[Jack Mirkinson @jackmirkinson]

zohran will survive being protested. mayors get protested! he is a full and very powerful adult, and he wanted this job.

[Jack Mirkinson @jackmirkinson]

one of the saddest things i've seen on here in some time

[Jack Mirkinson @jackmirkinson]

Read this.

[Mohammed R. Mhawish @mrmhawish]

"The world remembers Gaza again this week. Had Palestinians wanted remembrance after each date we experienced atrocity, a full, long year wouldn’t have enough days. We have been faithful victims, though, haven’t we?"

I write @thenation on "the anniversary"https://t.co/4XOTRSgMDK

[Jack Mirkinson @jackmirkinson]

rather than read whatever war crimes apologia brett mcgurk has spewed out, read @AkbarSAhmed's book detailing exactly the kind of unrepentant genocide enthusiast mcgurk is https://t.co/7Tfm8V7sTd

[Harrison Mann @Harrison_J_Mann]

Surprisingly damning review in the NYT of Brett McGurk's Gaza memoir:

[Citations Needed @CitationsPod]

In Ep 244, we examine the media obsession with "political mavericks" who "buck party orthodoxy"—almost aways with either trivial interventions or, as is most often the case, throwing vulnerable populations and causes under the bus.

[Abubaker Abed @AbubakerAbedW]

So happy beyond words to see these two incredibly relentless & talented young journalists & writers from Gaza surviving the genocide & relocating to the UK.

Ahmed Abu-Shawish, left, and Ali Skaik, right, have made Palestine so proud through their immensely profound reporting.

[ellafanger @ellafanger]

Wrote about the arrests outside Netanyahu's speech at the UN for @thenation: https://t.co/FnzW5kHrEE

[Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib @RepRashida]

Netanyahu is the architect of the ongoing genocide of the Palestinian people. He is a war criminal and a fugitive charged by the ICC.

He can, and must, be arrested and prosecuted for crimes against humanity.
