We hit the $10k goal in four hours. That's incredible (and restores my faith in humanity, just a little bit), but there are so many folks still in need. We're now aiming to raise $25k—please help in any way you can!
Many, many of my amazing coworkers were laid off from Vice weeks ago—and haven't gotten a dollar of severance due to the Vice bankruptcy. Please donate, share, and help in any way that you can: gofundme.com/f/VICEunion

This is the type of life saving reporting we lose when newsrooms close down. So proud of the @VICEWorldNews APAC team doing such impactful and important journalism. Ironically, today is the team’s last day.
Just in: We're shortlisted for two awards at the Society of Publishers in Asia. Big congrats to @JCGotinga @natashya_g @AlMcCready1 @rachel_cheung1 @hellokoyu @gav_butler Couldn't ask for a better sendoff sopawards.com/the-sopa-award…

Ah, the irony of this headline today, of all days. Marcos Jr was referring to climate change…but on the 50th anniv since his late dictator father declared martial law, thinking of the thousands killed, tortured & missing still suffering from “historical injustice” #NeverForget

For weeks, we traveled the country to understand why 31 million voters chose a dictator’s son & what it means for the country. It would be unfair to attribute Marcos’ victory to just disinformation or any single factor. A lot is at play…and at stake. WATCH our piece on @Showtime

Today is Russia’s Victory Day... War crimes are being committed across Ukraine. The Donbas region is being bombarded every day. This senseless, bloody war continues. Please watch. m.youtube.com/watch?v=IvNc9y…

This is how I want to remember Pierre Zakrzewski. Big smiles. Fantastic human being. Kind, generous & radiates an upbeat can-do energy. From Kabul to Kyiv, he never stopped wanting to help. He was found dead alongside Ukrainian journalist, Oleksandra Kuvshynova. RIP Miss you.

Here are some of the headlines from many of the top news networks in the world. All of them without a mention of the slain Ukrainian producer Sasha Kuvshynova. Inexcusable.

A reminder: As foreign journalists, we are just that- foreign. We’d be nothing without our local collaborators. Instead of fleeing war with their families, they work to add incalculable context and expertise for the world to gain. RIP Sasha Kuvshynova, who made us all better.

Just left roadside spot near Irpin where body of American journalist Brent Renaud lay under a blanket. Ukranian medics could do nothing to help him by that stage. Outraged Ukranian police officer: “Tell America, tell the world, what they did to a journalist.”

TX judge temporarily blocks state from investigating parents who support gender affirming care for their children. @VICENews
This ruling applies to the one family who brought the lawsuit. The court scheduled another hearing for next Friday to decide whether this block should be applied more broadly. So, families could still be investigated for the next week, at least. @VICENews

Galina buried her son today. Through her tears, she told me she hopes that one day Putin will feel this indescribable pain she is feeling. #Mykolayiv #Ukraine

Today, Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy (@ZelenskyyUa) snuck me and my @VICENews crew into his besieged presidential fortress for an interview. He thinks Putin will soon negotiate:"I think he sees that we are strong." w/@adamdesiderio.
