Sincere gratitude for the families who opened their homes to the us & shared their stories. We don’t take that responsibility lightly. Congrats to the team who worked on this: Senior Producer @KaviChek, Correspondent @alisonaher, Cinematographer @acspelman, editor @warwickmeade
You can watch "The Search" here, which looks the crisis of indigenous women going missing. @AJFaultLines traveled across the western US to Washington, Montana and New Mexico to find out what more could be done to address the problem.
Last week, Congress finally took some action to address the #mmiw crisis passing two bills, Savanna’s Act and Not Invisible Act. Indigenous women face murder rates that are more than 10 times the national average. Laws are meant to improve tracking, solving preventing cases
Congratulations to our colleagues at @AJEnglish news who were also honored by @najournalists for their coverage of the National Inquiry into Missing and Murdered Indigenous Girls. @shihab_rattansi@Jetbelgraver and Adrian Wilson

Seymour Hersh writes that Israeli insiders and American officials tell him there will be “heavy American bombing” of Iran as early as this weekend and that all will be “under control” if Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei “departs.”
If true, this suggests that the Trump administration is once again using the media to mislead the public and that Trump won’t take two weeks to decide what to do. It would also confirm that this assault is all about Israel’s longtime goal of forcing regime change in Iran.
This is horrifying. Hersh writes that Trump delayed the bombing of the centrifuges in Fordow because “he wants the shock of the bombing to be diminished as much as possible by the opening of Wall Street trading on Monday.”
Israel went into overdrive to deny it killed Palestinians at an aid site in Gaza on Sunday but @CNN investigation “points to the Israeli military opening fire on crowds of Palestinians as they tried to make their way to the fenced enclosure to get food.” cnn.com/2025/06/04/mid…
More than a dozen eyewitnesses, including those wounded in the attack, said Israeli troops shot at crowds in volleys of gunfire that occurred sporadically through the early hours of Sunday morning.
The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), the US and Israeli-backed aid initiative that runs the site, said that Israeli forces were operating in the area during the same period.
As 2024 comes to a close, I wanted to share all of the films on Palestine that @AJFaultLines released this difficult year and encourage you all to watch, share and screen them. 🧵
In March we released “The Palestine Exception” which looks at the crackdown on criticism of Israel on college campuses. In a prescient decision, our team filmed with student activists at Columbia even before the encampment.
In June, we released “The Night Won’t End,” a feature-length documentary investigating civilian killings by the Israeli military and the US role in Israel’s war, following 3 families as they grieve and try to survive.
On MSNBC Joe Scarborough is blaming Trump’s win on progressives for using pronouns.
And now he’s blaming anti-genocide protests on college campuses.
And now Chris Matthews is saying that Democrats lost because they let in “millions” of migrants into the country. This rhetoric is indistinguishable from Fox News.
As @nytimes continues to come under fire for anti-Palestinian bias, Adam Rasgon is joining their Jerusalem bureau. Only days after Israel killed Al Jazeera’s Wael Al Dahdouh’s wife and children, Rasgon co-wrote a @NewYorker piece smearing Wael’s journalism as “Hamas propaganda.”
That article was one of the lowest points for western journalism since Oct. 7 and that’s saying a lot. While Israel was caught repeatedly lying to the media, Rasgon and his co author chose to smear a Palestinian journalist risking his life daily whose family was brutally killed.
Here’s an important thread by @SanaSaeed about that atrocious article
