.@ForeignAffairs published "Who Is to Blame for the Humanitarian Crisis in Gaza?" by Israeli Ambassador @yechielleiter They did absolutely no fact checking The following 🧵from Alex Smith @Alexand74195770, who resigned from USAID over Gaza, details the errors

Breaking: This is Caesar, the Syrian who smuggled thousnds of photos of people Assad killed under torture. He was the head of the Forensic Evidence Department in Military Police in Damascus, and whom the Caesar Syria Civilian Protection Act named after. @lrozen @garancelecaisne

What a historical moment. Today, the world learned the identity of Caesar, the defector who smuggled 53,275 photos of detainees tortured & killed by the Syrian regime: Farid al-Mathhan, formerly of the Forensic Evidence Dept of the Damascus Military Police. He's from Daraa.

Still in #Syria searching for my father. Thousands of families are searching for loved ones, desperate for any piece of information. For years, the Assad regime denied our pain, denied our demands, and gaslit us about their arrests. We won’t be silent. We demand the full truth

On this day in 1963, THE BELL JAR was published. This is my first Faber edition, published under her real name, in 1966. #sylviaplath #thebelljar

Wrote this for the University of Wisconsin Center for Journalism Ethics. "Referring to Arabic words without offering an accompanying translation is a lazy method employed by journalists intent on setting a scene without actually interrogating it." ethics.journalism.wisc.edu/2024/12/04/rep…

AOC team made a flyer in Arabic Not only are the letters not connected (like they should be), they’re also arranged backwards

“But then isn’t translation precisely an infinite series of choices?”
