We live in a time when the federal government considers it taboo to name officers. I asked @sergioolmos.bsky.social about his team's decision to identify five Border Patrol officers who spent last year traveling the country and violently arresting people -- and the inevitable criticism they'd face.

It was huge fun having @tobyballnh.bsky.social back on the Seen for a member-only bonus episode @maritalks2much.bsky.social & I cannot apologise enough to Toby for what we subject him to 🔎 Fun episode though with heaps of fantastic recommendations #truecrime #truecrimepodcast #crimesky #truecrimesky

for the weekend crowd: I dug into a new podcast that pins a bunch of notorious murders on a long-dead Jewish man from San Diego. It's the ugliest true crime property in recent memory. [gift link] defector.com/michael-conn...

@tobyballnh.bsky.social I’ve lived my entire life without watching a single episode of Ancient Aliens. Well, more like Ancient FAILiens… Podcast life RIP to my Tubi recommendations

Sara Jane Moore, who tried to assassinate Pres. Gerald Ford in 1975, died today at age 95. A divorced housewife, she'd spent 18 months as an informant for the FBI on San Francisco's radical underground. A wild story and the subject of my podcast Rip Current. You can listen here: shorturl.at/SeaqU

MAJOR RULING: Appeals court tosses key evidence from Elwood Jones case. Officer who found victim's pendant can't be cross-examined (he's dead), so his testimony is OUT of the retrial. Prosecutors once called this evidence 'better than a fingerprint.' #TrueCrime #Podcasts #Journalism

The Slocum Massacre is such an important story. This week’s Crimes of the Centuries: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/c...

Remember: There is nothing natural or inevitable about extreme inequality; it’s the result of an economic system that values wealth and power over human dignity and justice. It doesn't have to be this way.
