    When you hear "Police Say" in a news report, be aware the reporter means they have no idea if what comes next is true or not. I worked with survivors of a deadly attack on antifascists in Portland and @ForensicArchi to show how the police misled the public theguardian.com/us-news/2024/f…

    Elon Musk's Twitter just suspended the account of antifascist researcher @chadloder likely to suppress reporting on right-wing extremists. As I reported, Loder's painstaking research identifying a Proud Boy who attacked police on Jan 6 was cited by the DOJ theintercept.com/2021/11/10/pro…

    I deleted a tweet mocking Andrew Tate's arrest because these details of the horrific crimes he is accused of make it clear that this is not a funny story, but a deeply disturbing one for his victims diicot.ro/mass-media/382…

    I looked into it, and despite what @PressSec says @elonmusk told her, the US has spent exactly $0 on condoms for Gaza, not $50 million

    This tweet was just edited to remove video @Israel presented as evidence that Gaza hospital was struck in an outgoing barrage fired by militants — likely because NYT reporter @AricToler had already noted the clip was recorded about 8pm local time, 40 minutes after hospital strike

    It is worth watching this CNN video from the moment Emory Econ Professor @CarolineFohlin came across the violent arrest of a protester on campus and asked the police, with shock, "What are you doing?" That's all that prompted an officer to hurl her to the ground and handcuff her.

    Kavanaugh boasted in his yearbook that he and his friend took part in drinking 100 kegs of beer in 1982-1983; if those binge drinking sessions we know took place are not noted in his calendars, they are not a full record of his activities.

    Here's video of @GovLarryHogan saying Maryland's National Guard was repeatedly denied authorization to deploy to defend Congress on Wednesday during the 90 minutes after a panicked phone call from senior House and Senate leaders who were hiding from the president's mob

    “I was actually on the phone with Leader Hoyer who was pleading with us to send the guard,” Maryland Gov. Hogan. But Hogan said Maj. Gen. Timothy Gowen, head of the Maryland National Guard, was *repeatedly rebuffed by the head of the National Guard on the federal level.* Why?

    Mission accomplished. While everyone was distracted by his blue-check removals, Musks's Twitter deleted labels that alerted users that they were reading news from state-run propaganda outlets of authoritarian governments. Potemkin news channels now free to inject disinformation.

    The White House is playing "Live and Let Die" before Trump's arrival at a thinly disguised campaign event in Ohio that the state's governor cannot attend because he just came down with Covid-19, the disease that killed over 1,400 Americans yesterday.

    Strange, there was a community note on this tweet a while ago, citing my reporting that what @PressSec said @elonmusk told her is not true, but now that note has been removed. I wonder why? Here are the facts again, for those who prefer not to be lied to:

    An appalling Republican ad during the Democratic debate attacked @AOC for the genocide in Cambodia a decade before her birth, but it was a Republican president, Richard Nixon, whose secret bombing created the conditions for the Khmer Rouge to seize power static.theintercept.com/amp/debate-ale…

    Talking to the police while an officer is kneeling on the head of a protester is not interfering, it is potentially preventing a murder.
