This is damning.

Proud to have been part of the team that computationally analyzed the New York Times' biased coverage of Israel and Palestine. This is part of a broader effort by Writers Against the War On Gaza @wawog_now, who released today a tour-de-force exposé of NYT: newyorkwarcrimes.com/

"Israeli and American officials’ quotes outnumber Palestinians nine to one." I can't vouch for the analysis but having read the NYT coverage from the start this seems like an undercount if anything...

I was arrested today at a protest in LA that closed down the 110 freeway at rush hour to demand a ceasefire in Gaza and an end to U.S. complicity in Israel's crimes against Palestinians.

BREAKING: 75 American Jews & allies were just arrested shutting down a Los Angeles freeway to demand a ceasefire, and an end to U.S. funding of war crimes against the people of Gaza. Millions face death by bomb, bullet, starvation & disease in Gaza. No more business as usual.

Drivers were outraged, some got violent. But the real outrage is that daily life continues as usual even as our government enables Israel's destruction of the very possibility of life for millions of Palestinians. Shut it down.

It's going to suck if Elon Musk buys Twitter but imo it's just as bad that Jeff Bezos owns the Washington Post. As @AlecMacGillis lays it out in FULFILLMENT it was a pretty obvious bid for DC influence at a time Amazon was massively ramping up lobbying. (great book btw)

This guy isn't Ukrainian! He is a Russian neo-Nazi named Alexei Maximov aka "The Fly". I met him in St. Petersburg. Long story.

He turned up a lot during Maidan. I think they were planting him to get images of "Ukrainian neo-Nazis." Not saying they don't exist, but he's not one of them. xitter.cf/idx19/sta…

They deleted the tweet, but this is the Russian neo-Nazi who people are falsely claiming is a Ukrainian neo-Nazi.
