Leonardo Garcia Venegas, 25, was working at a construction site in coastal Alabama when ICE agents tried to take him to the ground as he yelled, “I’m a citizen!” They held him handcuffed for more than an hour and dismissed his REAL ID as fake. Two weeks later, he wrongfully held by ICE agents again.

"As many as 15 people a month typically became too weak to work in May and June." Because it's 100 degrees. And there's no air conditioning. @robwdavis.bsky.social on a factory that makes Nike clothing, with photos by @sbmaneyphoto.bsky.social www.propublica.org/article/nike...

Grateful to The @oregonian.com for featuring our reporting on Nike in Cambodia so prominently today. Story: www.propublica.org/article/nike...

Nike claims they pay workers 1.9 times the local livable wage. Workers’ pay stubs tell a different story. Spend time with this investigation by @robwdavis.bsky.social and the stories of women I photographed in Cambodia, who worked grueling hours — still not earning enough to make ends meet.

NEW: Nike says most of the 1.1M people making its products earn 1.9X their local minimum wage. We obtained a payroll ledger for a Cambodian factory that supplied Nike for two years. 1% of the workforce earned that much. Team effort with @sbmaneyphoto.bsky.social. www.propublica.org/article/nike...

"Not only have vaccination rates for measles, mumps and rubella fallen, but federal data shows that so have those for pertussis, diphtheria, tetanus, hepatitis B and polio." by @deldeib.bsky.social + @sheinvestigates.bsky.social / @lucaswaldron.bsky.social + @sbmaneyphoto.bsky.social

How the reality crime show “The First48” painted “a wholly inaccurate picture” that led to a wrongful conviction. Read the full @propublica.org investigation by @jlussenhop.bsky.social 📸 by me ~ www.propublica.org/article/firs...

ProPublica's @sbmaneyphoto.bsky.social moved back to her native California on Jan. 4. Three days later, the LA wildfires began. As an investigative newsroom, ProPublica doesn't usually cover breaking news, but SB knew she had to document what was going on. Her first stop was Altadena.

After a two-week break, the NPPA newsletter is back. I penned this week’s reading list. There are photos from Election Day, Ukraine, data from Women Photograph on freelance editorial rates, a wonderful essay by @sbmaneyphoto.bsky.social, and more. 🔗: nppa.org/news/730

My job is to make photographs, but a big part of the fulfillment I get is from making connections 💙 read the full story I wrote for @propublica that goes behind the scenes into the why & how of telling visual stories. www.propublica.org/article/tips...
