This is how federal agencies have used minor traffic stops, especially targeting moped delivery drivers, to funnel people into immigration detention and deportation. More than 40 videos analyzed with our partners @bellingcat.com shed light on the tactics. www.youtube.com/watch?v=d1iP...

We just published this visual investigation of more than 100 videos to find patterns in ICE raids in LA. You can see how these raids mirror the raids that a court halted in CA's Eastern district earlier this year. @bellingcat.com @calmatters.org @evidentmedia.org www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Bux...

Here's @theweekendmsnbc.bsky.social and @eugenedaniels2.bsky.social featuring our latest documentary report "Fighting to Serve" and the story of Maj. Erica Vandal, who's now facing a ban from the U.S. military as a transgender service member. Watch the full doc: www.youtube.com/watch?v=E0pl...

It was an absolute honor to accept this year’s News & Documentary Emmy Award for Video Journalism. Our mission has always been clear: to make the truth evident. This recognition belongs to the journalists who risk everything to stand by that mission.

Glad to see @evidentmedia.org winning the News Emmys Award for Outstanding Video Journalism for our investigation A Hidden War, which you can see below www.bellingcat.com/news/2024/04...

"The Army is literally the only lifestyle I have ever known ... it's incredibly difficult knowing that it's likely going to be taken away." @danming.bsky.social spent time with a support group of trans soldiers facing the military's purge. Here's what they told us. www.youtube.com/watch?v=E0pl...

Join us in a few minutes @evidentmedia.org 's first virtual advance screening, for our upcoming short documentary "Fighting to Serve" — link below

Last month, Operation: Return to Sender screened in San Francisco, Bakersfield, and Los Angeles to incredible audiences — including a standing-room-only crowd in Bakersfield. Huge thanks to @calmatters.org for partnering with us to bring this story to life. Photo credit: Larry Valenzuela

"Kasper’s naturalization continued unimpeded. He corresponded with immigration officials numerous times over the next 10 years, and says agents never warned him that a critical document was missing." This is who ICE arrested. A guy who forgot to fill a form. Because his wife had had a stillbirth.

Puerto Rico became a tax haven for the wealthy, with hopes that money and jobs would trickle down through the economy. Instead, cost of living went through the roof. @natashadeltoro.bsky.social reports in "Paradise for Sale." www.youtube.com/watch?v=Al_N...

🚨 The identity of the man behind MrDeepFakes, one of the largest, if not the most popular, platforms for deep fake celebrity pornography, is finally revealed. A must read!

Great to see that "A Hidden War" the doc that @bellingcat.com worked on with @evidentmedia.org covering home demolitions in Gaza and illegal outpost expansion was nominated for TWO News Emmys. Full doc here: vimeo.com/1042499084 @nickwaters.bsky.social here: www.bellingcat.com/news/2024/04...

You can see our documentary partnership with @evidentmedia.org and @calmatters.org covering the border patrol raids that took place 300 miles from the border in California here: www.bellingcat.com/news/2025/04...

Great conversation here with @danming.bsky.social on rising U.S.-China tensions and the themes of our @evidentmedia.org doc “Arming the Pacific.” Thank you @natashadeltoro.bsky.social and AJ’s The Take for the in-depth discussion. youtu.be/sgd2W_Z399A?...

As part of the #USClimateActionSummit, we are proud to present "Museum on Fire," our upcoming documentary that charts the impacts of climate change on humanity's cultural heritage. Join us for the premiere on April 21 in collaboration with @climategroup.bsky.social. vist.ly/3m29wpa

Our partner @bellingcat.com analyzed 50 civilian videos showing U.S. Border Patrol's sweeping raid in central CA. Data obtained by @calmatters.org shows Border Patrol had no knowledge of criminal history for 77 of the 78 people arrested. @evidentmedia.org doc here www.youtube.com/watch?v=m93x...

"The people here ... they've been in our operations for some 30 years. They're hard-working people that don't deserve to be harassed." Our report w/ @calmatters.org and @bellingcat.com reveals the reality behind border patrol's sweeping arrests in central California. www.youtube.com/watch?v=m93x...

An investigation into obtained arrest records contradicts the U.S. Customs & Border Protection's messaging that Operation Return to Sender was a "highly targeted” law enforcement action. Full report from Evident, @calmatters.org, @sergioolmos.bsky.social & @bellingcat.com: evidentmedia.live/44fZ1mX

A U.S. border patrol unit traveled 300 mi. to carry out sweeping arrests in Bakersfield, California. Officials claim it was a "targeted" operation, but evidence gathered in this investigation from Evident, @calmatters.org and @bellingcat.com shows otherwise. Full report: evidentmedia.live/44fZ1mX

I talked about AI and video journalism with @dexdigi.bsky.social. We have more concerns than solutions, but there’s value in putting a consistent focus on this stuff.

The U.S. military is not always eager to offer looks at their training, so why was the Army willing to showcase jungle training school? “I think they think it makes them look cool in a way." – @danming.bsky.social Watch the full documentary now: evidentmedia.live/3FyhBfK 🎙️ @dexdigi.bsky.social

If you shop on Etsy, Amazon, or other e-commerce platforms where AI scams are fooling customers, this is worth a watch.

AI opens up possibilities for creation — and for fraud. When almost anyone can make almost anything without human expertise, the errors and distortions can have real-world impacts. @evidentmedia.org partnered with @bellingcat.com and @koltai.bsky.social to show how. www.youtube.com/watch?v=hvYq...

This is a very cool and very valuable deep dive on AI scams we’re dropping tomorrow with @bellingcat.com. Stay tuned!

Evident celebrated our launch with a great crowd in DC and surpassed our founding donor fundraising goal on the spot. We are so grateful for everyone who has supported Evident, a nonprofit newsroom, and our mission to create documentary journalism for the public good.

The Pentagon just called off a briefing for Elon Musk about its plans for a potential war with China, according to NYT. I recently traveled to Hawaii, Okinawa and Guam to report on these very plans, and the communities who would be on the frontlines of such a war. Watch here:

DC friends, come through!

How is the U.S. Army preparing for war with China? We joined Jungle Training School to help you see how intense and representational it is. Watch the full report now: evidentmedia.live/3FyhBfK CW: Reporting contains moments of violence @danming.bsky.social

Love this decision from @wired.com to make its coverage of public records freely available. Journalism has to be transparent and accessible to reach the people who need it most. "The news business isn’t just any business." 100% this.

Hello, new @bsky.app friends! I’m part of a team that just launched @evidentmedia.org, a nonprofit producing documentary journalism for the public good. We cover AI, human rights, environment + more. Here’s our latest on the Pacific islands caught between the U.S. and China. youtu.be/UnM3YEwT4M8?...

Why are thousands of people in Japan protesting the United States’ military presence there? @danming.bsky.social reports from Japan and explains why American Marines are pulling out of Okinawa. Watch the full documentary: evidentmedia.live/3FyhBfK

"Who gets killed first if there should be a war? Absolutely, our people. The island of Guam." The U.S. military has made the island territory of Guam a key foothold in its pivot against China. That also makes Guam a target. Watch the full video: evidentmedia.live/3FyhBfK #documentaryjournalism

This report from @danming.bsky.social starts with a trek through US Army Jungle Training School and ends with an inside look at local pushback to an expanding military footprint on Guam. Valuable insight into how US-China tensions increase pressure on territories and allies. youtu.be/UnM3YEwT4M8?...

The U.S. and China are on a collision course in the Pacific, leaving American allies and island territories in the line of fire: “We don't have any rights.” Correspondent @danming.bsky.social reports from Japan, Hawaii and Guam. CW: Moments of violence Watch more: youtu.be/UnM3YEwT4M8
