    In the video, Bisan finds dozens of USA labeled shells among the rubble. I visually verified through research the labels on the casings do indeed indicate they contained U.S. manufactured toxic weapons the Israeli forces used to destroy the buildings.

    @wizardbisan finds devastation on an almost unimaginable scale when she returns to Khan Younis. As more than 80% of buildings have been destroyed, she spends time with the Palestinians who are trying to make homes among used bullet casings and bomb shells.

    How did a small communist-led state in India flatten the curve ahead of the rest of India and the U.S.?

    Producing this latest Bisan report of destruction from Khan Younis, I found myself repeating the same sentiment as @wizardbisan says in the video: “this cannot be real.” Truly post-apocalyptic.

    My latest reporting on how so many immigrants, including Asian Americans, have almost no choice but to living in dangerous, illegal basement apartments.

    Basement apartments in New York City turned into death traps during Hurricane Ida, filling with water in minutes. Yet immigrants are forced to live underground, despite unsafe conditions, due to a lack of affordable housing in the city.

    As an Asian living in the U.S., I couldn't ignore the rise of violence against the AAPI community that breaks my heart. Too often, Asian voices are not amplified in the media but it's time that changed. #StopAsianHate #StopAAPIHate #AsianAmericans

    This Filipino American man was slashed across his face with a knife while standing on a New York City subway platform. He is one of the latest victims of a spike of attacks against Asian Americans.

    I'm not surprised Cop City activists have been arrested for "domestic terrorism." Atlanta's politicians openly told me in an interview here since September they were investigating forest defenders as domestic terrorists.

    @wizardbisan and our AJ+ Reports team won a PEABODY for the reporting from Gaza!!! Amid this honor, Bisan is enduring bombardment in Rafah. Fleeing city from city, for the past seven months Bisan has tirelessly documented the everyday realities of Palestinians. And it's ongoing.

    Confused about what's happening in Gaza? It's okay, it's not too late to educate yourself on the Palestinians living under Israeli apartheid. Watch this informational explainer to understand.
