Every time I speak with Eslam she asks me to help getting her @soma-eslam.bsky.social account restored. She had a whole community on Bluesky and it was unfairly taken from her. If you want to email [email protected] to ask for it to be restored it would maybe be helpful ❤️
pay it forward this holiday season and help out Eslam. She was an active Bluesky user supporting her family in Gaza, but she was banned months ago for no reason, even though she was complying with requests to ID herself. Now she barely gets any donations. Email moderation and give if you can.

🧵This 58-year-old nurse from Maryland is seen being violently dragged along the ground by officials in Ghana.
Trump deported her there.
This abhorrent & disgusting abuse of a woman who saved American lives and cared for injured and ill Americans for 30 years.
All the details below are worse.

this aspect of things has been on my mind so much lately. early career people are getting screwed perhaps the hardest of all, not just in journalism but across all kinds of fields. relentless focus on output discourages learning & growth. saving time at any cost actually has a high price in the end

my parents tell me every time i see them about how they don’t know what’s true on the internet anymore and yet that’s basically where they get all their information now so once again i am asking: how are we supposed to talk to older people about this shit
one insidious thing about gen AI is it's not just causing us to mistrust dodgy images, it's also making us mistrust images that look perfectly normal. this is gaslighting in a very literal sense bc the technology is undermining the trust we have in our own ability to perceive reality!
