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

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
This seems like a big deal and I ask if it goes against the @nytimes policies. As @zei_squirrel found, one of the authors of the “mass rape” story, Anat Schwartz, apparently liked posts saying Gaza should be turned into a “slaughterhouse.” Anat has reported on Palestinians.
And as @RBrulin points out, the post that the @nytimes Anat Schwartz liked was mentioned in South Africa’s application to the ICJ as an example of intent to commit genocide
@RBrulin @nytimes Anat Schwartz seems to have had little to no journalism experience before reporting for @nytimes. She calls herself a “storyteller.” Very concerning to assign a high stakes investigation to someone with very little journalism experience and apparent disregard for Palestinian life
This is Dr. Khaled Al Serr. He’s a general surgery specialist at Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis, Gaza. After more than 20 days under siege by Israeli forces, there have been reports that soldiers abducted him and 8 other doctors. He hasn’t been heard from for more than 34 hours.
This is the last video that Khaled is believed to have shared from Nasser hospital. He discusses how an ICU patient died after the electricity cut out after the Israeli occupation forces invaded the hospital.
According to @HCWWatch, 10 doctors and nurses released from Israeli detention have testified that they were subjected to torture and cruel, inhuman, and degrading treatment.
