Dakota Johnson's comment on the failure of MADAME WEB needs to be screamed from the rooftops.

This feature from the Intercept on the NYT’s botched reporting on Oct 7 assault propaganda is a damning must-read

Mack is one of the loveliest humans you’ll ever meet.

He’s an insanely talented investigative reporter, deeply sourced & truly cares about his work. I loved collaborating with him when I had the chance.

He & Ben Makuch were also trailblazers in their coverage of accelerationism

Mack carved the path for a lot of the excellent far-right reporting we see today. He’s an expert in the darkest corners of the internet and their terrifying real word implications. And he’s a loyal, kind colleague. He’s going to kill it wherever his work ends up next

forgot to check twitter and now i’m crying

i really am so bad at twitter but evy was a dream to work with. she’s so good at finding sources quickly, actually she’s good at doing everything quickly. she’s also super collaborative and just an all-around dream to work with and i feel deeply lucky we worked together

Evy was an absolutely transformative hire for our team. She’s whip smart, on top of all news, a TikTok/social wizard, and frankly everyone just loves her. I can’t wait to see where she lands

The far-right is desperate to make “trans terrorism” a thing. So desperate, in fact, that it’s willing to push out incorrect or false information just to shore up their baseless narrative that trans people are inherently dangerous.

A great piece from my colleague Ben Hunte !

Weird how this just keeps happening, I wonder if anyone warned that anti-trans laws would be used to harass any woman perceived as insufficiently feminine

Some of the journalists laid off today and this week WERE the hardest-working and most valuable people in their newsrooms. They did the jobs no one else wanted to do. They got the most clicks. They got scoops. There is NOTHING you can do to avoid being laid off.

Surprised so many are shocked that the Israeli UK ambo doesn't support a future Palestinian state. She is not an outlier in Israeli politics: many don't believe in Palestinian sovereignty. Here's some examples 🧵:
Former PM Bennett tells me Palestine should be 'less than a state'

A released Palestinian prisoner says in Arabic that Israel held them in the cold w/o electricity, 'sprayed us w/ pepper spray' & 'left us to die.'

She never mentioned Hamas or a word like it. Yet BBC translated to: 'No one helped us. Only Hamas cared...We love them very much.'

The essay, “The Ongoing Nakba,” would have been the first from a Palestinian scholar published by the Harvard Law Review. The decision to pull it from publication is “unprecedented”.. my latest The Intercept theintercept.com/2023/11/21/har…
