MAYOR is out in virtual theaters today!

PREDATORS is now streaming on @paramountplus What's the legacy of the iconic TV show "To Catch a Predator?" How do we prevent abuse? What does our entertainment say about us? @davidosit asks these questions and more in the documentary PREDATORS

Predators Dir. David Osit (@davidosit) U.S. DOCUMENTARY COMPETITION #Sundance

More doctors say that decades in war zones did not prepare them for Gaza; that horrors defy description; that Israeli snipers shot children in the head. #Genocide_in_Gaza Day 289 We Volunteered at a Gaza Hospital. What We Saw Was Unspeakable. politi.co/4d2wORK

Kids and families playing football. Israel hated that. So they bombed them. Simple as that.

a Zionist fanatic at the Oxford Union angrily asks George Galloway if he is racist because of his opposition to the genocidal Israeli occupation, and is applauded by the audience. Here's Galloway's response that gets the audience to applaud him by the end:

New York City libraries are facing a $58.3 million budget cut that could force most branches to reduce service to just five days a week. On the Day of Action for Libraries, tell @NYCMayor & @NYCCouncil: #NoCutsToLibraries investinlibraries.org/dayofaction

@JFKairport gate 4 at terminal 7 has had a broken jet bridge for 90 minutes and we’ve been unable to disembark. our pilot has had no comms from ground crew. they’re unloading our bags but no new gate, no one fixing problem. can someone please tell us what’s going on?

Palestinians: From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free The US: That's antisemitic Netanyahu: From the river to the sea, it will all be Israel and there will never be a Palestinian state The US: Here's $14 billion dollars and some more bombs for genocide

i'm only here on X to proudly share the announcement of @FW4Palestine, a coalition of film workers using their platform to call out loudly and peacefully for a Free Palestine

A Health Ministry spokesperson estimates that 200-300 Palestinians were killed in one go when the IOF struck the hospital. Just like that, Israel can massacre hundreds of people with the full backing of the white “civilized” world. We are witnessing a devastating genocide.

Today, I'm thinking of all those in Israel and Palestine suffering unimaginable pain, trauma and fear. The horrific attacks on civilians in Israel were deplorable. This cannot justify the indiscriminate killing of Palestinians, who are paying the price for a crime they did not commit. Half of Gaza’s population are children. Trapped in an open-air prison without food, water, gas or electricity, they are watching their homes turn to rubble with nowhere to go. We should condemn the use of violence against all civilians, Israeli and Palestinian. And we must renew our calls for an immediate ceasefire to prevent any further loss of life. In times of war, we need more voices for peace — and the only way to achieve peace is to end the occupation.

Another piece of hypocrisy to anticipate: The media will certainly refer to the massacre Israel is about to commit in Gaza as a “response,” but no ever refers to Palestinian violence as a response to a STATUS QUO of murderous Israeli violence & brutality & land theft & apartheid.

@GoodVibePolitik even harder for me to stomach is the baked-in ultimate justification of any and all actions, however evil, murderous or immoral, for the sake of preserving what we love

Just found out that one of the creators of The Last of Us rooted the story in his perspective on Israel’s occupation. He grew up as a settler in the West Bank and the story is largely rooted in a settler’s perspective on the futility of “cyclical violence” and I hate it so much.

It's been 3 years since MAYOR premiered, but because of COVID it took this long to plan our premiere in Ramallah. Last week, we finally got to screen the film there - and gave Mayor Musa his Emmy Award plaque.

My new book, TRACERS IN THE DARK, is out today. It draws on 11 years of reporting, since I wrote the first print magazine article on Bitcoin in 2011. It's the most epic true crime/detective story I've ever come across as a reporter. I hope you'll read it. amazon.com/Tracers-Dark-G…

MAYOR just won an Emmy! Here is Director @davidosit accepting the award on behalf of "anyone with the courage to stand publicly with Palestinian rights in the west."

The #DocEmmys Award for Outstanding Politics and Government Documentary goes to @POVdocs Mayor (@PBS).

@saeedtaji glad you are unharmed, so angry this happened to you

@StadiumChants @zillowgonewild i wish i could remember! i only recall that they were in a sea kayaking club together

@zillowgonewild i hung out in this house as a child, my father was friends with the man who lived there. i'd run around with his 6 year old son, there were tons of secret passages and nooks and attics. i forgot it existed. it was kid heaven!
