How the UK government has backed itself into a corner over Palestine Action: the country is now full of terrorists, legally speaking - average age 59, arrested for holding a piece of cardboard. My latest for @newlinesmag

The right-wing tech billionaire Peter Thiel’s move to Argentina is about more than fleeing taxes, prepping for catastrophe or an affinity with libertarian President Javier Milei — it is about a new kind of power, argues @palabarces for @newlinesmag. https://t.co/vfxZbQxUpi

To @kevinolearytv & Republican lawmakers in Utah, Box Elder County, a deep-red pocket of the state where residents trusted elected officials, loved the military & supported high-security development projects seemed like the perfect place to put the nation’s largest data center.

“Across Colombia, illegal armed groups are vying for control … teenagers are increasingly targeted — drawn in by a calculated vision of belonging, power and money — to fill the ranks. Social media has become the ideal vehicle to communicate this message.”

🧵One of the most unsettling stories to emerge from Syria’s postwar reckoning: a well-known Damascus hairdresser is now accused of a hidden role inside Assad’s prison system.

A thread about the environment and land tenure that came out of a chat with @erinclarebrown

[Erin Clare Brown @erinclarebrown]

In a conversation with my brilliant colleague Jos, we realized one of the themes that runs through @newlinesmag coverage is how systems of land ownership and management impact on people and the environment, and vice versa.

[Lydia Wilson @lsmwilson]

My latest for @newlinesmag was an epic investigation into why the @britishmuseum has taken Palestine off labels - all that's needed is an open conversation to explain the reasoning, but an email I just received from them show how unlikely it is to happen, which is a real shame 🧵

[Erin Clare Brown @erinclarebrown]

Stop everything and read this. An investigation into how a @WorldPressPhoto award-winning photograph of an execution in Bosnia came to be — and the chilling realization that a man was murdered for the camera. https://t.co/jIztOYEY3C

[Danny Postel @DannyPostel]

Drop whatever you're doing and read this @newlinesmag article by the political scientist Hussein Banai, which is the single most incisive — and chilling — piece of analysis I believe has been published, anywhere, on this subject of ultimate urgency.

When I heard about Chomsky in the Epstein files, I knew there'd be people I'd worked with - and there were. I pulled on the threads to find a horrifying situation in academia, and wrote it up for @newlinesmag. https://t.co/Nrpc2fIRUC

A Libyan journalist met Saif al-Islam Gadhafi in the desert weeks before assassination.

🚨 Dear @newlinesmag readers,

A letter from our Middle East and Newsletters Editor, @kshaheen:

[Hassan I. Hassan @hxhassan]

Mongolia produces some of the world’s finest cashmere. But as brands market “sustainable” fiber, herders face debt, dying pastures and a collapsing steppe.

Reporting from there by @aidou_dadel, @SaraManisera & Daniela Sala for @newlinesmag https://t.co/BFaA1f9SvA

Ancient Egypt was at the heart of the occultism that flourished in Britain early in the 20th century. @jos_betts looks at how the association changed the lives of two of the period’s magicians, in @newlinesmag. https://t.co/e3JfePzdCR

[Jos Betts @jos_betts]

A history essay I wrote for Halloween about ancient Egypt, Aleister Crowley, the Black occultist Rollo Ahmed, and what practitioners thought magic was really for in early C20 Britain, in @newlinesmag: https://t.co/yDNO4o0tVo

My report from Chicago on the Trump administration's war on immigrants and how people are pushing back, protecting their neighbors through newly-formed community safety networks, spontaneously confronting ICE agents in the streets & more — at @newlinesmag
