- Really disappointed in @propublica.org management for this decision, which is out of step with both industry standards and ProPublica’s mission of accountability.
- 1/ 🚨 Yesterday, @propublica.org management confirmed that it will again deny steward representation at disciplinary meetings. Our full statement 👇
- After Texas banned abortion, the rates of sepsis in 2nd-trimester pregnancy loss hospitalizations shot up by more than 50%, @sophiechou.bsky.social and I found. But that jump wasn't equal across the state; women in Houston fared far worse than those in Dallas: www.propublica.org/article/texa...
- At UVM, the office of "Equity, Belonging and Student Engagement" is now the office of "the Advancement of Our Common Ground" vtcynic.com/uncategorize...
- I believe in ProPublica’s mission, and in my amazing coworkers who uphold those values every day. I hope that management will agree to our requests for basic union rights, like allowing stewards in performance meetings that could lead to discipline.
- Today, we issued a letter — signed by 70% of our unit — to @sengelberg.bsky.social and @robinsparkman.bsky.social asking them to uphold ProPublica’s values of fairness, transparency and accountability at the bargaining table.
- "Cuts in this area will have an outsize effect in Vermont, where high housing costs, low supply and a soaring homelessness rate are hampering the economy and undermining the state's inclusive aspirations."
- Update: We just published the code behind our analysis of second-trimester pregnancy loss complications in Texas: github.com/propublica/t...
- When we set out to do this analysis, we hoped to build on an existing methodology to study severe complications in early pregnancy — but there wasn't one. So, in consultation with dozens of experts, @sophiechou.bsky.social, Lizzie Presser and I developed our own. Here's how we did it:
- “By firing us, you’re going to cut down on how much revenue the country brings in,” Nershi said in an interview. “This was not about saving money.”
- NEW: The Trump administration claims gutting federal agencies will save money, but cutting the IRS means the government collects less taxes. “If you’re interested in the deficit and curbing it, why would you cut back on the revenue side?” one expert asks. By @andykroll.bsky.social

- "In total, museums, universities and agencies across the country returned more than 10,300 Native American ancestors to tribes last year. The total makes 2024 the third-biggest year for the repatriation of ancestral remains under NAGPRA"
- When @propublica.org first published data and reporting on the tens of thousands of Native American human remains and artifacts held by museums and universities, compliance with the nation’s 30-year old repatriation law shot up. Today, we update the data to show where thise institutions stand now.

- requested an archive of my twitter data and this is what i got back in its entirety is this a joke
- Homelessness is at record highs in Vermont, but the state isn't tracking deaths of those who are unhoused. @sevendaysvt.bsky.social and @vermontpublic.bsky.social identified at least 82 people who died while apparently homeless between 2021 and 2024. Important reporting:
