| 1638873614547136513 | @LailaAlarian I’m already blocked. People need to reckon with how horrible a human being this is; calling for genocidal solutions to her personal problems - homeless people, trans people, Palestinian people - and then hiding behind her kids when criticized. A loathsome person. | 8 |
| 1638909783381258240 | Delighted to see former colleagues @FemiOke, @YoungRJeremy and @LailaAlarian honoured with the Edward R. Murrow Award for their vital film "No Country for Haitians.” Richly deserved. https://t.co/eWu4Loa1r0 | 8 |
| 1640617216877166592 | Our #MCJN mentor, executive producer of @AJFaultLines on @AJEnglish @LailaAlarian and her team, show in their new film “The Imprisonment of Julian Assange,” how a case like this can set a dangerous precedent for journalists around the world.

| 1640702518807126016 | The @AJFaultLines short doc on #Haitian #Refugees & the racialized US policy that has impeded their access to even a screening interview is as heart-wrenching as it is instructive. Congrats & thank you @LailaAlarian, @FemiOke & team. | 4 |
| 1638874207915327488 | @LailaAlarian And we must never forgive or forget her boastfully and trollingly posting about her attendance at a Trump Hanukkah ceremony in the immediate shadow of the Tree of Life massacre, when we were in trauma over a Trump-inspired massacre. Traitorous to us. | 3 |
| 1638970081903366145 | @LailaAlarian @richterscale She blocked me because she was tweeting about how war was probably the only solution to Iran, so I asked if her kids would be fighting that war, or just other peoples kids | 3 |
| 1638911444698685442 | Big congrats @YoungRJeremy @LailaAlarian @FemiOke for “No Country for Haitians” @AJFaultLines - such important work on Haiti, country to which US routinely expelling asylum seekers despite US gov assessments too dangerous & lobbying to get Canada & others to send security force https://t.co/dYOVRBHKTp | 3 |

| 1638871883205468161 | @LailaAlarian She ain't gonna give me a straight answer either. I teach about 20 ppl like her every wk, and have for the past 15 yrs. | 71 |
| 1638911967414063105 | @LailaAlarian @mehdirhasan Sadly she is not walking this back at all. https://t.co/LXmOATVKa2 | 65 |
| 1638997873164681217 | @LailaAlarian Says a lot abt her that she never deleted this. Says a lot abt Twitter that she is apparently still in good standing w that tweet is still up. I reported the tweet. We'll see if incitement to genocide (at least against Palestinians) is consistent w current Twitter standards... | 38 |

| 1638975395969003528 | @katekilla @LailaAlarian Honestly, I'm near the edge of my rope. Too much willful ignorance to deal with, too much quiet, stick-my-head-in-the-sand ignorance, too. | 32 |
