Tens of thousands of disabled workers in the US are legally paid less than the minimum wage, sometimes less than $1 per hour. Really proud to have partnered with @AmandaMoMorris and @JaxAlemany for more than 9 months on this three-part investigationšŸ‘‡šŸ¼šŸ§µ washingtonpost.com/wellness/…

To be clear: Some facts are neither in dispute nor unclear. Our photographer was clearly marked as Press. She was clearly beaten. These are not partisan or risible statements, but indisputable. We urge a thorough investigation and accountability.
The Prime Minister’s Office: The facts surrounding the confrontation near Abu Falah, during which Washington Post photojournalist Heidi Levine was allegedly assaulted, remain unclear and are under investigation. Israel unequivocally condemns violence against anyone—Jews, Arabs, Christians or journalists. Those responsible will be held accountable. But serious questions remain. Reports indicate some 200 Arabs and far-left activists confronted approximately 40 Israeli youths. Footage shows masked individuals on both sides hurling objects, amid reports of fireworks fired at Jewish youths. Other footage appears to show Levine knocked down and immediately helped to her feet by the same unidentified individual. The investigation must establish the facts, including who initiated the violence. We will not allow disputed incidents to be exploited to demonize the hundreds of thousands of law-abiding Jewish residents of Judea and Samaria. The facts must determine the conclusions. Not the headlines.

These are all photos by Heidi Levine, the @washingtonpost photojournalist assaulted by Israeli attackers today in the West Bank. She was covering Palestinian families picking their autumn olive harvest. Israeli soldiers did nothing to stop the violence. washingtonpost.com/world/202…

Masked Israeli settlers attacked Palestinian villagers on Friday, setting olive groves on fire and slinging rocks. Caught in the attack was Post photographer Heidi Levine. ā€œThey just kept kicking me and kicking me, like probably 50 times,ā€ Levine said. wapo.st/4yt6dHY

This video captures settlers beating Heidi. They clubbed her, kicked her. Pulled her up off the ground to beat her more. Robbed her of all her equipment. If she didn’t have a helmet—and if she was Palestinian—she could be dead.

The Post conducted a year-long investigation to quantify for the first time how #measles vaccination rates at schools across the country had declined since the pandemic, including: - a data-rich animation showing county-level decline rates nationwide - a search tool revealing rates in local counties and school communities - the ability for parents to see vaccination rates at their child’s school  (cc @caitlinsgilbert, Joshua Lott, Dylan Moriarty, @LaurenWeberHP) washingtonpost.com/impact
