@antoniacere Very excited for you and the team!

I am signing back on to this cursed app for the first time in months to say I am also working here with Matt and the rest of this amazing team! I am so excited to work with people whose work I have admired from afar for years. If you live in LA — or even if you don’t — subscribe!

@juliaturner Love this, esp the Randy Newman ref! Exited to read/connect!

SOME PERSONAL NEWS: For the last year I’ve been working with a terrifyingly talented team to put together L.A. Material, a new local news outlet covering Los Angeles. We’re launching TODAY, so please check us out at lamaterial.com.

Border Patrol agents have been roving from city to city over the last 15 months, far from their home bases in California and elsewhere along the U.S.-Mexico border, engaged in an unprecedented mass deportation campaign.  A collaboration w/ @CalMatters Evident and @bellingcat

Excellent piece by @KimGhattas on what U.S. Israel’s end game in this war and for the region

Well worth a listen!

Please stop saying the Iranian diaspora supports this war Many of us oppose both Israel and Trump's unprovoked war AND the Islamic Republic We are terrified for our loved ones in Iran cowering under the bombs 550 Iranians have already died. This war needs to end NOW

NEW for @newlinesmag: I wrote about how we verify strikes such as the one on the elementary school in Minab, Iran. The death toll from this strike is now at least 150. I touched on the collaborative nature of open-source work, and how researchers like @ChrisOsieck, @NemoAnno (and many more) coming together to do this reporting is vital in times like this: newlinesmag.com/running-notes/…

@laura_nelson @corinnepurtill it's a great detail

So many great Los Angeles moments in this @corinnepurtill piece but this might be my favorite part:

@iAnonPatriot permission to post?

Iranian Americans are now CELEBRATING in the streets of LA, while liberal white women are protesting.. LMAO

You could launch a full-up newspaper from the 300 people laid off by the Washington Post 3 hours ago. Instantly. Business. Sports. Metro. Ukraine. China. AI & tech. They'd start writing this afternoon! A 300-person newsroom would cost about $80 million a year (running a little lean). Just saying. I hear there are some billionaires out there looking for places to invest.

Today, @thenation has suspended all coverage in an initiative called "A Day for Gaza." All the work shared on the website today will come directly from The Strip. "In sharing “A Day for Gaza,” we hope to breach the silence that has descended around Gaza, and to do so by offering a microphone to some of the 2 million people whose stories demand to be told. We also want to extend an invitation—and a challenge—to our colleagues across the media industry to recommit to telling the story of Gaza. We owe its people—and the hundreds of our fellow journalists who have given their lives to bring us the truth from Gaza—nothing less." You can read the full Editorial Statement here, as well as all the published pieces on the website. thenation.com/article/world/…
