I hired Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi in 2017, and worked with him closely until he was murdered by the Saudi regime in Istanbul -- simply for expressing himself.
I put my safety on the line for years to push publicly for justice and accountability in his murder.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.
This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.
It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

The disparity btwn what’s actually happening in Los Angeles and the way it’s being mischaracterized is one of the biggest stress tests of modern media in recent memory. Botted socials, AI, old clips, declining literacy—it’s like seeing a broken emergency response system hit by a storm.

@maddow.msnbc.com big fan of yours mam. I have noticed a hole in your coverage/commentary over the past few weeks. I would love for you to weigh in on the heartbreaking massacre that is happening in #Gaza. Again, big fan of yours. Please make a podcast series or write a book about this conflict. TY

Happy 43rd b’day to “Combat Rock” — the iconic LP by @theclash.com that featured “Rock the Casbah”.
When writing, Joe Strummer said, “I started to think about what someone had told me .. that you get lashed for owning a disco album in Iran."
(Hence the line, “Shareef don’t like it.”)

Europe can’t rely on the strength of the transatlantic relationship to help contain Russia’s threat – it must lead from the front and be the true force of support that Ukraine needs. Not just for Ukraine’s sake, but for a free and sovereign Europe.

@fantasyball365.bsky.social thoughts on caris? He's inconsistent but is playing well in limited minutes. probably worth a hold in deeper leagues. He'll need an injury or trade to really get on the standard league radar
