A group of settlers just lynched Hamdan Ballal, co director of our film no other land. They beat him and he has injuries in his head and stomach, bleeding. Soldiers invaded the ambulance he called, and took him. No sign of him since.

@apophaticism Do you feel like you lost something out of your undergrad years?

[Demetri @AsiaLens]

Navarro did not respond to multiple requests for comment before we published. He now says it is "crazy stuff". Story updated with his denial, but we stand behind the story.

Quite the sharp Grade 11 class in Revelstoke: these creative writing students came up with a formal definition for “tariffism” amid looming U.S. import taxes & are looking to take the word to Oxford. #revelstoke #revy @RevelstokeRevue

As much as large market, region-wide outlets try to cover every council across the Lower Mainland, fact is, they can’t.

Local outlets are so, so important. Some of the best accountability pieces have been done by these reporters.

[Brent Richter @BrentRichter]

I worked at all of these outlets earlier in my career.
This is just awful.
I don't know who, if anyone, is left dedicating coverage to these communities.

This is terrible news for local news. These outlets did such great work to inform their communities. Local newsrooms matter so much more than people think they do. Im so sorry to all the amazing journalists who worked so hard for these newsrooms.

NEW: Trump nominee Kash Patel disclosed he’s receiving $1 million-$5 million in shares of a Cayman Islands holding company directly tied to a Chinese corporation the Senate & a pro-Trump nonprofit accuse of “slave labor.” Patel says he won’t divest. (cont’d)

[Bethany 貝書穎 @BethanyAllenEbr]

In many cases, these orgs provide our last window into what is actually happening in China. They do the painstaking, risky work of tracking Chinese censorship, tallying local protests, uncovering rights violations, & documenting the Uyghur genocide.
