Investigative podcast The Missing Sister uncovers dark truths about IUIC @CharlieBCuff @WonderyMedia podcastingtoday.co.uk/invest…

One of the most disgusting things I have read in quite some time.
Daniel Raab, an American from Chicago who became a sniper in the IDF, brags about how he killed unarmed Palestinian teenagers in Gaza.
The callousness with which he brags about his war crimes will send chills down your spine.
But it also reveals a complete lack of ability to see Palestinians as humans. To him, the Palestinian he had just killed was nothing more than an insect, and as a result, Raab could not comprehend why the victim's teenage brother was devastated by his death and sought to retrieve his body.
So Raab murdered the brother, too.

170,000 people go missing each year in the UK. The case of Fiona Holm provides proof of how little help most families of missing people get. In 2025, it is time to reallocate resources away from Operation Grange (Madeleine McCann) and to these families. theguardian.com/uk-news/2025… – at East, England

Naftalin: Both these deaths were preventable. My clients are deeply pained by the inference that Naomi & Fiona were both treated w/contempt by the police because they were black women with mental health conditions & not therefore considered to be deserving of protection or help”

Naftalin: “Both Naomi Hunte & Fiona Holm were vulnerable black women who called on the police for protection from Carl Cooper, a man who was known to the Met to be a serial perpetrator of high-risk domestic abuse” 2/3

Nowhere is the racism of the UK media laid more bare than in its coverage of dead women. Some of the victims in DHRs I have done get acres of coverage; others are barely mentioned.

Eleven years ago today, in the early hours of 22 July 2013, 16 year-old Dwayne ‘Gully Queen’ Jones, was beaten and stabbed to death by a mob in Irwin, Montego Bay. Hundreds of persons at the dance, scores of witnesses, but no one charged, and no justice for a young #Jamaican. Never again.

Today, while covering the massacre by Israeli occupation forces in the Beit Lahia project, I was shocked to discover that one of the homes targeted in the airstrike belonged to my cousin, Haj Mohammed Al-Sharif (Abu Jihad), his wife Khitam Al-Sharif, and their children: Majd, Ihsan, Rawan, and Jehan Al-Sharif. His sister Suad Al-Sharif (Arouq), along with her son Mohammed Arouq, his wife, and their children were also martyred.
It's my last week @nytimes (for a while🤞🏾) and so thrilled that it coincides with the publication of this beautiful piece put together by @derrickbryson and the Projects & Collaborations team. Everyone's worked so hard on this nytimes.com/interactive/2024…
When Harlem Was ‘as Gay as It Was Black’ is a history lesson, a celebration, a condemnation, all rolled into one. As @derrickbryson writes: “Over roughly two decades, Harlem became home to Black artists, musicians, authors and socialites of all sexual stripes.”
