This is the result of 7+ years of Trump's attacks on @Ilhan, Somali-Americans, & the Muslim community.   Everyone, regardless of party, must speak out against this fascistic abuse of power.   If they can do this to a sitting Congresswoman, they can & will do it to anyone.
BREAKING WSJ: The Trump admin's investigation into Rep. Ilhan Omar is aimed at building a case to strip her of her U.S. citizenship and ultimately deport her, according to U.S. officials and other people familiar with the probe. wsj.com/politics/policy/ilha…

The War on Terror always comes home
Very strong ‘George W Bush puts a 20 year old Heritage kid in charge of the Iraqi stock market’ vibes except it’s the U.S. government this time.

A reminder to foreign journalists descending on Damascus: prisoners are human beings who deserve dignity and should not be treated recklessly or used as pathways for clicks. Please treat people with the dignity that they’ve been deprived of for decades.

Another image in the years of attacks against Al Jazeera. As much as Israel attacks our Palestinian colleagues, bombs their offices, and puts a hand over their cameras – it will never suppress the power of their story

It’s still weird to be watching Aljazeera and not see or hear Shireen Abu Akleh reporting, especially on days like this. 💔

Another chapter ending near and dear to my heart – watching what @balloutd and the @kerningcultures team poured into changing the podcast game was always inspiring. My favorite after all these years is still the Sabah episode. But I know the next chapter will be even brighter ✨

End of the DC road for @AJStream today for its last broadcast, the show is set to move to Doha. It's been a decade-plus of DC shows and countless people who made it what it is over the years. End of an era.

Really great episode of @AJEPodcasts on the wave of travel vloggers doing videos from Syria without the slightest regard to everything the Syrian people went through – one even named his video from the hammam “I was tortured in Syria” podcasts.apple.com/se/podcas…

“It’s such an intimate violence.” Egypt’s government is building a new future for Cairo – but at what cost to the people? 🎧 #AJTheTake and @thedigradio’s Omar Etman discuss ⤵️

This is an excellent podcast report on the corrupt persecution of journalist José Rubén Zamora in Guatemala, certainly better than anything I’ve seen in the US print media. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcas…

Just a reminder that there are ~2 million podcasts in the United States. We're in the peak news podcast era, and Malika has won best host for news at #TheGracies twice. Are you listening to The Take yet? @AJEPodcasts @mmbilal

In November, the FBI announced an investigation into the killing of Al Jazeera journalist Shireen Abu Akleh, but it’s unclear where the probe stands. 🎧 #AJTheTake spoke with @Harbpeace to discuss: aj.audio/TheTake-550

Man v machine: a debate that's found its way into the writers' strike. Producer @neginowl & I had fun delving into the intricacies (ie, getting creative in a way AI could not 🤖) with screenwriter @johnaugust, who told @ajepodcasts what we'd lose with AI: aj.audio/TheTake-548

Great to see @AyoCaesar on The Take.
The coronation of Charles III is a moment the UK has been waiting for ever since the death of Queen Elizabeth II. But will the Crown’s attempt to shine a light on diversity during the event fall flat? 🎧 We hear from @AyoCaesar on #AJTheTake: aj.audio/TheTake-545
