My report from Chicago on the Trump administration's war on immigrants and how people are pushing back, protecting their neighbors through newly-formed community safety networks, spontaneously confronting ICE agents in the streets & more — at @newlinesmag newlinesmag.com/reportage/chic…

Fascinating read from @LovedayM that offers a deep on the ground perspective to the chatter in Washington

Israeli strikes on #Tehran’s fuel depots didn’t just hit infrastructure — they blanketed a city of 10 million in toxic smoke. An investigative report used satellite imagery, wind modeling, geolocated footage, and eyewitness accounts to track how the plume spread across the city after the March 7 strikes — and how it affected civilians. Important work by @weatherwar, @ChrisOsieck, @ntabrizy, @wammezz and good journalism from @NewLinesMag. newlinesmag.com/reportage/the-…

On March 7, Israeli airstrikes hit four oil depots in Tehran and Karaj, sending smoke and pollutants across the city. @newlinesmag verified damage and tracked how plumes spread, showing that civilians faced immediate health and environmental impacts.  newlinesmag.com/reportage/the-…

NEW: China’s loyalty to Russia isn’t just a strategy, it’s a century-old “Russian complex,” shaped by a shared history and a deep moral recognition, writes @byzantinepower for @newlinesmag. newlinesmag.com/essays/the-rus…

Arab leaders in the Gulf have been at odds over who to blame for their position between Iran, the U.S. and Israel. That conversation was happening behind the scenes. Now it has burst into the open, write @FaisalAlYafai and @Chrysographer in @newlinesmag. newlinesmag.com/spotlight/thos…

NEW: A generation in the Gulf will not easily forget what has occurred in the Iran war, and the psychological wounds will outlast the drone and missile attacks, writes @SinemCngz from Doha for @newlinesmag. newlinesmag.com/first-person/i…

A writer who grew up in Kuwait during the 2003 Iraq War finds herself reliving the same fears, this time in Doha. A superbly written first-person essay by @SinemCngz for @newlinesmag, taking us back in history & back to the moment newlinesmag.com/first-person/i…

“The Soviets were inside our land — we could see them. The Americans were in our villages. We could fight them face to face. But Pakistan, their jets fly above. Their drones watch everything.” | @fazelqazizai newlinesmag.com/spotlight/paki…

📽️How did Jeffrey Epstein’s ideas gain intellectual cover? @lsmwilson shows how evolutionary psychology helped legitimize his views on women and race — while $20M a year in academic funding lent them a veneer of respectability. youtube.com/shorts/l3eDd-1…

“The Sirens We Remember” ✍🏻I wrote a piece for @newlinesmag – quite long but a personal one – on an overlooked dimension of the war: its psychological & social imprints, how it recalls past traumas & collective memory of #Gulf, based on my own experience. newlinesmag.com/first-person/i…

An exclusive investigation reveals the substantial air pollution unleashed by Israel’s recent strikes on fuel storage sites across Iran’s capital. By @weatherwar, @ChrisOsieck, @ntabrizy & @wammezz. newlinesmag.com/reportage/the-…

As Muslims around the world mark Eid al‑Fitr, a reminder from @MEdwardsJO of the rich diversity of Islamic practice: In northern Lebanon’s Akkar, Sufi communities keep centuries‑old rituals alive through music, dance and collective celebration.  newlinesmag.com/spotlight/sufi…

"Shameful." In an extraordinary interview, Pentagon whistleblower @WesJBryant sounds the alarm about what he calls a lack of concern for civilian casualties by the US in Iran. He was part of a Pentagon unit tasked with mitigating civilian harm, but it was gutted last year in government cuts. Worth watching in full.

Israeli settlers have increasingly used violence against Palestinians in a bid to drive them from their homes in the occupied West Bank. But sexual assault appears to be a new weapon in these settlers’ arsenal of intimidation, pointing to a troubling new level of violence. cnn.it/4du8vj6

Sometimes you wonder, if he wasn't such a terrible person and just chose to be in it for the memes, how wonderful our timeline would have been.

You might remember the images out of Iran showing black plumes filling the sky after Israeli air strikes hit major oil depots on March 7. In this exclusive @newlinesmag investigation, @weatherwar, @ChrisOsieck, @ntabrizy & @wammezz show the substantial air pollution left behind

Asked why he didn't coordinate with allies before going to war with Iran, Trump says, "We didn't tell anyone about it. Who knows better about surprise than Japan? Why didn't you tell me about Pearl Harbor, OK?"

“There’s smoke all over the city. I’ve had severe shortness of breath and my eyes and throat are burning,” said one Tehran resident. “In many places, the fires are still going. From where I am, I can see that there’s another explosion and smoke coming from the west of Tehran. Unfortunately, things are terrible.” This model by @weatherwar shows smoke dispersion over Tehran under recorded wind conditions following strikes on four oil storage sites. The green layer shows the potential transport of airborne particles during the first 12 hours after ignition, based on wind conditions. The geographic spread of the plume overlaps with densely populated areas of the city. newlinesmag.com/reportage/the-…
