- Transparency should be something we can all agree is important. We are asking @propublica management to stop denying colleagues their right to a shop steward in meetings that can 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.

The bill was prompted by @propublica.org reporting on three Texas women who died after they miscarried and doctors delayed or denied care. www.propublica.org/article/texa...

- 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:

But that was still the tip of the iceberg. Now the mole is coming forward.

The detective had 3 plaques mounted in his home inscribed with the same Hemingway line: “There is no hunting like the hunting of man."

There were debates over whether to commit acts of terrorism. And they gave a unique, remarkably intimate window into questions like: Why do so many cops join militias?
- Reposted by Cassandra JaramilloOutraged by Jan 6, he spent two years getting inside the top ranks of militias like the Oath Keepers. He was stunningly successful. He penetrated a new generation of militia leaders, which included doctors, cops & government attorneys. This is his story. www.propublica.org/article/ap3-...
