me at kickoff of every world cup game: oh this is nice to put on in the background, maybe the team with cool jerseys will win me 90 minutes later, literally every time:

Something worth mentioning since we're in the middle of our summer fundraising drive — this podcast, like everything on @propublica.org's site — is free! Currently we're running what we call "house ads" that help explain our nonprofit model — not ads to make $$$. For the public, not for profit.

👀 ProPublica merch is finally here (I'm partial to the crew neck): www.rayguncustom.com/collections/...

Amazing story about how Starbucks launched a "Tank" marketing campaign in South Korea on the anniversary of a massacre by the military.... including a slogan referencing the beating to death of a student. AI did it. Emails were signed off unread by managers www.theguardian.com/world/2026/j...

this is such a good example of someone asserting that incivility lives in actions that hurt people, not in questioning those actions

NEW: An investigation by @thecity.nyc, based on a database of more than 1,200 lawsuits, shows that ICE agents in the field have seized Latinos in numbers that far exceed their share of the undocumented population.

Imagine for a moment yr car is towed (facepalm). But then 15 days later the tower SELLS your car (what?!) And THEN 2 local reporters get wind of it & report on it for YEARS. That's the latest Paper Trail ep (produced by me!) @propublica.org. A satisfying listen. www.propublica.org/podcast/conn...

It’s happening! Tulsa screening of “Toxic Ground,” a @propublica.org + @readfrontier.bsky.social documentary, tonight! Featuring the Meredith family and other Oklahomans impacted by oil and gas pollution. www.propublica.org/article/okla...

Delighted and shocked to learn last night that we won a National Magazine Award for some of our immigration reporting - including our story on how the Venezuelan men Trump sent to a Salvadoran prison were tortured, and on the dramatic midnight raid in Chicago. 😃 www.propublica.org/atpropublica...

Alright, here's my contribution to the Is-Bluesky-Dying discourse: Bluesky is a record store davekarpf.beehiiv.com/p/bluesky-is...

👋Hi! I’m Jessica Lussenhop, and for the last 4 years, I served as ProPublica’s first Minnesota-based reporter. But now I’ve got big news: On May 14, ProPublica is launching a brand new podcast! It’s called “Paper Trail,” and I’ll be your host. Thread 🧵

horrible. this country’s turn away from science based medicine in the name of “wellness” is killing children and will kill a lot more. www.propublica.org/article/more...

Really we all should root for a Knicks-Sixers playoff series every year because it’s one of the few matchups where the teams commute back and forth via chartered Amtrak trains instead of chartered flights. Tons of C02 emissions saved (Sixers boarding train pics from 2024)

Makeover Day 💅 www.propublica.org/article/why-...

So proud to be a Pulitzer winner along with my friends @harucoryne.bsky.social and @ginnymonk.bsky.social who all worked so hard on this messy data together!

HOLY SHIT @pablo.show CONGRATS!!!

Final: Sixers hold on for a 109-100 win and will advance to face the Knicks in the second round. It's the first time the Sixers have beaten the Celtics in the playoffs since 1982. They had lost the previous six series against the Celtics, including 3 in the Joel Embiid era.

My spirit watching this sixers game 🙏🏽

Good Morning America interviewed Cherise Doyley about her traumatic birth experience, first detailed in @amyyurkanin.bsky.social's reporting for @propublica.org. Thankful that this story is still keeping Black maternal health in the spotlight. www.goodmorningamerica.com/video/132491...

Final: Sixers dominate down the stretch, holding Boston to just 11 points in the 4th on their way to a 113-97 win, forcing a Game 6 in Philadelphia on Thursday. Joel Embiid tallied 33 points and 8 assists on 12-23 shooting in his second game back after having his appendix removed.

love winning in the garden twice this series. still alive 🌸

Nice Timing for the White House Correspondents Dinner: F.B.I. Said to Have Investigated Times Reporter After Article on Patel’s Girlfriend www.nytimes.com/2026/04/22/u...

🌸🔥TYRESE 🔥🌸

You may have seen the stories of Cherise Doyley and Brianna Bennett recently across your TL. Florida judges forced them to undergo C-Sections, despite them refusing. Their right to decide their medical care was stripped when they were made to testify during a court hearing while actively in labor.

Staggering numbers from DHS: from 01/01/25 - 02/16/26 - 363 pregnant, postpartum, nursing immigrants deported - 16 miscarriages recorded - 498 pregnant, postpartum, nursing people “booked out” of ICE detention (meaning they were detained and then left) @shefali.bsky.social reporting in @19thnews.org

New: Kristi Noem claimed to the Senate yesterday that Corey Lewandowski has no role approving contracts at DHS. But internal DHS records and interviews with current and former agency officials contradict her testimony: www.propublica.org/article/kris... w/ @josh-kaplan.bsky.social

With his fourth three tonight, Tyrese Maxey has just passed Allen Iverson and is the new all-time leader in made threes in Sixers history.

Bad Bunny held 500 years of colonial violence, all the peoples of this hemisphere, the plantation that is the game - and showed us we get to dance through the repair. Messy, impossible, necessary. Made us proud...gave us fuel? Let us hope, Américas! open.substack.com/pub/artworld...

This is correct. But it also misses the point. Normal humans find this hard to fathom but billionaires *like* losses. They *need* losses. Losses provide ownership/control/power/entertainment while offsetting income and reducing taxes. This isn’t about the Washington Post losing money.

We lost Michael "5000" Watts last week and I wrote about him, his major label collabs, Sly Dunbar (also RIP) and the concept of canons.

A note from our editors:

The 2026 edition of @blackfilmarchive.bsky.social's 28 Films for the 28 Days of Black History Month is out. A good number of these are available online for free. Thank you @mayascade.bsky.social 🖤 #BlackHistoryMonth #BHM2026

“As journalists, our first obligation is to bear witness and to inform. When those obligations are met with detention or prosecution instead of protection, we must ask: what message are we sending about who gets to report and who gets silenced?" @amandabecker.bsky.social @19thnews.org

I didn't really know him, but he once offered to buy and ship bootleg Eagles gear to me. He seems like a really nice and funny guy.

My ProPublica colleague @cengizyar.com was on @wbur.org's On Point today, talking about the ongoing events in Minneapolis. Listen to the whole episode here:

I’ve been in Minneapolis the last few days reporting on the ICE raids happening across the city. This morning federal agents shot and killed a man, identified by the AP as Alex Pretti. This marks the third shooting by federal agents since Operation Metro Surge started in Minnesota last month.

American Indian Movement (AIM) patrols have returned amid rising tensions in Minnesota with ICE. Nearly 100 volunteers are helping watch over elders and community members as federal agents outnumber local police and confrontations continue to draw protests and legal action.

Thanks @democracynow.org for giving me a chance to share a new @propublica.org investigation from @mckenziefunk.com & me Here's the story: www.propublica.org/article/vide...

NEW: After doctors sent her home with a racing heart, Ciji Graham came to believe the best way to protect her health was to end her pregnancy. But new restrictions in NC and nearby states made finding an abortion provider difficult. www.propublica.org/article/nort...

BREAKING: We've found 40+ cases of agents using banned chokeholds & other moves that can cut off breathing People have had seizures. They passed out. “I felt like I was going to die” said 16-yr-old citizen Admin won't say whether any agents have been punished www.propublica.org/article/vide...

If you followed immigration news this year, please support the many, many local journalists who made it possible. Nonprofit media needs support! I kept returning to @lataco.bsky.social @calmatters.org @wbez.org @blockclubchi.bsky.social @documentedny.bsky.social @statesnewsroom.com & so many more

NEW: The Trump administration has argued that Fed board member Lisa Cook may have committed mortgage fraud by declaring more than one primary residence on her loans. We found that Trump once did the very thing he claimed could be a crime.

the people shaking their heads about fans booing the Eagles offense have failed to consider that they deserve it

A new @propublica.org investigation highlighting the trauma of family separation as a way to deter new immigrants from coming and to terrify those who are here into leaving: www.propublica.org/article/ice-... There's been so much deep work this year synthesizing what's happening on the ground.

hey merch freaks, we have new merch I hope you can … CHIP IN … 😉 www.thecity.nyc/merch-store

Watch our reporter Lizzie Presser discuss Tierra Walker's story on @msnowreports.bsky.social: “What I want to be clear about is that this isn’t a bug in these [abortion ban] laws, this is a feature ... Anti-abortion activists have fought hard to keep health exceptions outside of these laws.”

This 100 percent tracks with what I see on a daily basis
