hello world!!!!!!

Hello to my BlueSky community!!!!!!

Quarterly proof of life post

These images were used to give the impression that the average Gazan is on the brink of death due to an Israeli-made famine. That is not true.

There is widespread suffering in Gaza. The fact that these kids are stuck in a war zone without proper medical care is tragic enough. No need to lie.

You’re totally right to want proof! Here’s our reporting that just came out tonight: www.thefp.com/p/they-becam...

I recently looked up the Arabic translation of some of the names of the emaciated children used in coverage of the alleged famine in Gaza.

It turns out that many of them were sick before the war and have long, complicated medical histories. Our reporting shows they do not represent the average.

NPR still hasn't corrected their sloppy journalism.

Don't forget this when your station's next pledge drive rolls around. They will ask you for money.

Don't give them a cent.

The New York Times issued an editor’s note, correcting their glaring omission about this child’s health.

Has @npr.org?

Alternatively, what steps is @npr.org taking to affirm that they did not promulgate lies or omit key facts?

Readers and listeners deserve to know how you are working to confirm your reporting.

Hi @npr.org—are you planning to issue a correction or at least an editor's note to your story on Mohammad Al-Motawaq?

There is major contention surrounding the basic facts of your reporting, and readers deserve to know that.

My latest: the Cuomo campaign has virtually no ground game operation.

Zohran Mamdani? Oh he’s got ~50,000 volunteers and growing.

Mamdani Outhustled Cuomo. It Could Make Him New York’s Next Mayor. Zohran Mamdani's surging mayoral campaign is powered by 50,000 volunteers, with last-minute help from socialists from Atlanta.

Hi from Tablet Magazine’s Sinai Awards, where they just honored Alice Nderitu, the UN’s former special adviser on the prevention of genocide.

She had the courage to refuse to label Israel’s war against Hamas a “genocide.”

Bluesky—is this what this app is about?

The Leftists Celebrating Joe Biden’s Cancer Joe Biden 'ought to seek out treatment in a cancer ward in Gaza,’ one person told The Free Press.

"Oh, great. I hope it hurts."

That's how a 34-year-old nonbinary socialist responded when they found out Biden had cancer.

They're not alone: I spoke with far left activists from across the country not shedding a single tear for 'Genocide Joe.' www.thefp.com/p/the-leftis...

Literally a delicacy!!!!

Does Israel have the right to exist?

“Yes.” - Zohran Mamdani via his campaign when I pressed them on it a fourth time
