Im already throttled for telling truths so may as well keep going today:

Israel’s war on Gaza has killed more journalists than World War I, World War II, Vietnam, and Iraq combined. Image
Nearly every one of them was Palestinian. They were people who risked everything to show the world what was happening.
This isn’t “collateral damage.”

It’s what silencing the press looks like.

It’s what mass slaughter looks like. Don’t look away.
The next time they say, “well how come no one is reporting it?” Please remember — they killed the reporters.
Don’t tell me journalism isn’t dangerous.
The Committee to Protect Journalists calls Gaza the deadliest conflict for reporters in history.
You must understand: anywhere that truth becomes a threat, journalists become targets.
At least 237 journalists and media workers killed by Israel.
In 2024 alone, at least 124 journalists and media workers were killed worldwide (the deadliest year in CPJ’s history) with nearly 70% of those deaths attributed to Israel.
In that same year (2024), 82 journalists were killed in Gaza, and at least 10 cases have been classified by CPJ as deliberate or targeted killings.
Historical comparison: the Freedom Forum lists only 68 journalists killed in World War II and 2 in World War I.

By contrast, Israel’s assault on Gaza has killed over 170 journalists (most of them Palestinian.)

The deadliest war for the press in modern history.
Journalists are still your front line for the truth.

When we’re mocked, devalued, replaced by “influencers,” and killed — it’s not random, and it’s not “the cost of war.”

It’s strategic, and it’s how truth gets buried before history can write it down.
Trump’s admin is calling the press “leftist propaganda” — then replacing journalists with political influencers.

That’s not reform. It’s state-approved storytelling.
The lives and deaths of the reporters killed by Israel mattered.

Journalists lives matter.
Our work matters.
And some of us keep telling the truth — even when it costs everything.

You don’t get to answer atrocity with atrocity.
October 7 was horrific.
So is the leveling of Gaza.

War crimes don’t cancel each other out — they multiply grief.

If your outrage depends on who’s dying, it isn’t morality.
The UN, Human Rights Watch, and Amnesty have all warned that collective punishment and mass civilian targeting violate international law. This is regardless of motive.
Over 70% of those killed in Gaza have been women and children. That’s not “defense.” That’s annihilation.

Another one of the “journalists” from the ANTIFA roundtable at the White House.
Multiple arrests. Image
Image
He’s 27, and a MAGA influencer. Seems to get nearly unlimited access, like Loomer and others

That’s him with his phone behind Noem Image
Sorter was invited to the White House roundtable.
He’s been accused of getting into a fight outside an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility last week.  

Sortor’s role at yesterday’s event wasn’t just “witness” — he was an active participant in shaping the narrative. The White House gave him a platform.

Nick Shirley, who briefed the White House and POTUS yesterday, is a 2020 graduate and YouTube content creator.

He has no established record as a journalist or policy expert — raising serious questions about how voices are being selected to brief the administration. Image
Transparency matters.
Expertise matters.

Inviting influencers and calling them journalists is part of the playbook.
Eyes open.
Nick Shirley, who “briefed” the White House on ANTIFA? He’s a content creator often on FOX News.

Wake up wake up wake up people

This isn’t journalism Image
For an admin who likes to yell “FAKE NEWS” they sure enjoy hosting content creators and propaganda agents instead of journalists.
