Last class of @resistanceschool.bsky.social Race, Media, and International Affairs 102 today and the finale was SO good. If the phrase "meeting the moment" was a person, it would be Prof @karenattiah.bsky.social. What an absolute force she is.🔥 Forever grateful to have been part of this. #WeMove
Mood. I was asked in 2019 What I would say to Mohammed Bin Salman. I said it then and I’ll say it again— I hope the spirit of Jamal Khashoggi haunts MBS for the rest of his life. open.substack.com/pub/karenatt...
My first piece for @theguardian.com on MBS’s visit to the U.S., seven years after Jamal Khashoggi’s murder. Trump’s America is beginning to look like MBS’s Saudi Arabia— which Jamal warned me about. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
The Saudification of America is under way | Karen Attiah
Jamal Khashoggi’s plight and murder was a warning sign for the US, of the impending loss of freedom and censorship that would sweep the country
theguardian.com
I will never forget having to edit Jamal’s final, posthumous piece for the Washington Post, after he was murdered. He was calling for free expression in the Arab world. You can read it here : www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/glo...
Opinion | Jamal Khashoggi: What the Arab world needs most is free expression
The Arab world needs a modern version of the old transnational media so citizens can be informed about global events.
washingtonpost.com
A reminder that seven years ago almost to the day, the CIA determined that Mohammed Bin Salman ordered the killing of @washingtonpost.com journalist Jamal Khashoggi. I hired and worked with Jamal for a year. www.washingtonpost.com/world/nation...
CIA concludes Saudi crown prince ordered Jamal Khashoggi’s assassination
Audio recordings, intercepted phone calls and other intelligence link Mohammed bin Salman to killing that Saudis say was conducted by rogue elements.
washingtonpost.com
New: I sat down with @aljazeera.com to talk about my firing from the Washington Post, being the last Black staff columnist left at the Post. And how I believe the right is not just engaging in “cancel culture”, but “annihilation culture”. Full video here: youtu.be/89qMGkK3LBc?...

I say amen sister as I read this Q&A with @karenattiah.bsky.social. “Objectivity, in my opinion, tends to all too often be a shield for ignoring information and perspectives that are inconvenient.” — Karen Attiah objectivejournalism.org/2025/10/qa-k...
Karen Attiah: My firing shows mainstream media still fails on race
Attiah sat down with The Objective to discuss objectivity and Black representation at WaPo and mainstream media at large.

Karen Attiah@karenattiah.bsky.social · 10mo agoThey canceled my work on race and media. So I built a @resistanceschool.bsky.social instead. Now we are teaching over 600 students. Week 2 of Race, Media and International Affairs starts today. We move ✊🏾💪🏾
@resistanceschool.bsky.social 102 tonight was a conversation between Jason Stanley and @karenattiah.bsky.social. Going to be thinking about this class for a long time. The tension between leaving and staying, institutions and how they’re compromised, the necessity of trust. The power of the public.
