- After eight years, I was laid off from @theintercept among many brilliant colleagues. I had just cut short my maternity leave to cover the war in Gaza. Journalism will break your heart but there are so many stories to tell, now more than ever. I'll keep at it, somewhere. 🖤
- The fight over the right to boycott is headed to the Supreme Court. I wrote about this a few months ago, and it is a huge deal with implications we cannot even begin to see yet.Breaking news: The Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled today that boycotts are not protected by the First Amendment. @ACLU has confirmed it'll take the case to the Supreme Court, with huge implications for free speech in America.🧵
- New from me: Biden moves ahead on Trump plan to build Israel embassy on stolen Palestinian land
- After Rachel Corrie was crushed to death by an Israeli bulldozer in 2003, the U.S. government did nothing to ensure that such a killing would not happen again. So it did. My latest, with photos from the brilliant @kholoodeid interc.pt/3z1XgtA
- New from me: Israeli forces deliberately killed Palestinian American journalist, report shows
- My latest, and last, @theintercept story. How the ADL’s Anti-Palestinian Advocacy Helped Shape U.S. Terror Laws
- Twenty years after the world first saw photos of detainees tortured while in US custody at Abu Ghraib, one of the thousands of men who were abused there is at long last set to testify in a US federal court. My latest, and first for @GuardianUS.
- On this day, in 2003, an Israeli soldier in Rafah drove a bulldozer over American peace activist Rachel Corrie, crushing her to death. Her family fought for years to get the US govt to do something about it. Thinking of them & everyone in Rafah today.
- Like 1.3 million Palestinians who have fled there, @aselmousa is living through hell in Rafah right now. Still, she’s documenting what is happening to her fellow Gazans. So humbled to work with her on this heartbreaking dispatch from Rafah.
- Earlier this year, I traveled to both sides of the Green Line to look at how Israel's policies — upheld by the judiciary – serve its regime of racial domination over Palestinians. The recent mass protests are about preserving that system. My latest.
- Ukraine's collaboration legislation leaves little room for the complexities of war and people’s need to survive it. Earlier this summer, I met with one of thousands of Ukrainians accused of collaborating with the enemy. This is her story.
- “I Have Lost Everything”: In Federal Court, Palestinians Accuse Biden of Complicity in Genocide My story on today's historic hearing @theCCR @DCIPalestine @alhaq_org
- Exclusive: Harvard publisher cancels entire journal issue on Palestine shortly before publication. My latest.
