From cyanide spills in Liberia to the global AI supply chain. Our new investigation with @AP reveals how a major polluting miner sells its gold to a Swiss refiner supplying @NVIDIA. Picked up by @washingtonpost & @ABC Supported by @pulitzercenter thegeckoproject.org/articles/cyani…

Bea Mountain Mining, Liberia’s largest gold miner, repeatedly polluted rivers relied on by communities. The release of cyanide, arsenic and copper at dangerous levels is posing serious risks to human health. Story by @EdDavey1 & @AlAviram for @geckoproj. bit.ly/4rIz0W2

Who does #Gaza belong to? Leaked plans shared with me by @sharifkouddous at @DropSiteNews show U.S. plans for a 25,000-person “planned community” in #Rafah With so much external involvement and potential surveillance, how much say will Palestinians have in their future?

☠️ Cyanide and arsenic released by Liberia’s largest gold miner has repeatedly poisoned waterways in a remote western part of the country. Gold from the mine is sold to Swiss refiner MKS PAMP, which is in the supply chain of Nvidia and Apple. 👉thegeckoproject.org/articles/cyani… #liberia

Glad our story is getting traction with a wide audience - if not with a regulator Follows our earlier investigation into chromium-6 in drinking water from nickel for EVs, where people living near the source of ‘clean’ materials face the dirtiest impacts thegeckoproject.org/articles/clean…

One of Indonesia’s biggest nickel producers found heavy metals in fish near its mines. It then deleted the warnings and told communities the fish were safe. Nickel from Harita feeds into global EV supply chains, including those of Tesla, BMW, Toyota. thegeckoproject.org/articles/how-a…

This aerial image from the 1960s shows that the 'yellow line' of Israel's redeployment in Gaza is roughly matching with the border of the area's coastal sand dune, leaving Gaza without the absolute majority of its agricultural areas on the fertile soils in the east.

Hats off to all involved in this reporting. First known case of a US technology company withdrawing services provided to the Israeli military since the beginning of its war on Gaza. But as noted, Microsoft still maintains commercial relations with the IDF in other areas.

Was a pleasure collaborating with @martiorosz at @ZDF, @EliMoskowitz_ and the Deutsche Welle team on this story.

🎙️Our #nickel investigation in Indonesia was featured on @prx @livingonearth 🎧Listen to reporter @AlAviram on how Harita Nickel - a major supplier used by global EV companies - repeatedly contaminated water with a highly toxic chemical. 👉🏻Tune in: loe.org/shows/segments…

You couldn't make it up.

Mariam Abu Dagga, murdered by Israel today She recently donated her kidney to save a life. She was a mother, a journalist & a longtime witness to Israeli crimes Israel murdered her brother in 2018 when he was protesting the siege at the Great March of Return She covered those demonstrations where the IDF butchered & maimed over 34,000 peaceful protesters, including Razan Al-Najjar the paramedic murdered with a direct sniper shot. Mariam was also Razan's close friend Israel fully wiped out Mariam's hometown Abbasan in Khan Younis.

new: an Israeli spy-chief met Microsoft’s CEO and built one of the world’s most invasive surveillance systems, collecting “a million” Palestinian calls an hour, storing them on Microsoft servers abroad & using them for air strikes in Gaza and WB. (Reported with Harry Davies)

.@AviramLiane’s doc is out: A portrait of Dr Lina Qasem-Hassan -one of many Palestinians propping up Israel’s medical system while facing persecution & ethno-nationalism on steroids. Defiant. Heart-wrenching. In dark times, Lina offers a glimmer of hope. m.youtube.com/watch?v=KI8uiO…

Not random settler terrorism or the actions of a lone wolf. But violence facilitated and encouraged by the Israeli state.

One way to support @FranceskAlbs is to read, circulate, cite, quote, and teach the rigorous reports she has written on self-determination, carceral system, child rights, genocide, and corporate complicity. Here is a list:
