  • Missing Kids and the Media Part 1 (Immigrantly)

    Today's episode is about the disappearance of Sofia Juarez the day before her 5th birthday and the TikTok video 18 years later that reignited the search for her. Sofia Juarez’s case is related to "Missing White Girl Syndrome,"—a term used to describe the overrepresentation of missing white women and girls in the media. This is a special two-part feed drop from our friends at Immigrantly.

    Hosted by Saadia Khan and Asad Butt.

    Produced by Immigrantly & Rifelion Media.

Smith-Kramer and his friends are all Native American and members of the Quinault Nation. A pickup truck shows up and starts doing doughnuts on the patch of gravel nearby. Soon Smith-Kramer is run over. Saadia and Asad Share the story.

                                        About Invisible Hate

                                        From the publisher's feed

                                        Invisible Hate shines a spotlight on the hidden world of hate crimes in America—acts fueled by race, religion, sexual orientation, and other biases that too often go unreported and unpunished. Hosts Saadia Khan, a human rights advocate and social entrepreneur, and Asad Butt, journalist and founder of Rifelion Media, dig deep into these overlooked incidents, asking the pressing question: Why does the system ignore so many hate crimes? Each episode examines a specific case, analyzing its details and uncovering the social and legal challenges that affect its classification as a hate crime.
