Remember the immigration raid on the apartment complex in Chicago almost two months ago? The one with the Black Hawk helicopter and federal agents rappelling on ropes? @ProPublica decided to take a deeper look. We found little evidence to support the government’s claims. 🧵

NEW: What happened to the Venezuelans after a raid at a Chicago apartment. From an amazing @propublica.org team: @melissa-sanchez.bsky.social, @jodiscohen.bsky.social, Sebastian Rotella, @tchristianmiller.bsky.social, @mariamelba.bsky.social and so many others. www.propublica.org/article/chic...

We at @propublica.org looked into the immigration raid that happened in Chicago's South Shore in late September. We found many of the Venezuelans detained in that raid, looked into them, and spoke to several of them.

You probably saw videos of a nighttime raid in Chicago. Agents rappelling from a helicopter, bursting down doors, questioning brown-skinned immigrants. We investigated -- and found little evidence to support the government’s claims about Tren de Aragua. www.propublica.org/article/chic...

We can’t produce fearless investigative journalism without job security and a fair contract. After almost two years of bargaining, we need your help. Show your support for @propublica.org workers by adding your name to our petition: actionnetwork.org/petitions/te...

We ❤️ @ire.org! @propublica.org employees wore buttons & flyered at the IRE gala to rally support for our fight for a fair contract. The future of investigative journalism depends on protecting the workers who make it possible. You can help by signing our petition: actionnetwork.org/petitions/te...

late to this, but hugely honored @propublica.org's immigration stories were named finalists in the Loeb Awards for business journalism in the explanatory category. Stories still worth a read, imho, even a year later: Mine & @mariamelba.bsky.social's contribution: www.propublica.org/article/immi...

Four journalists were killed by an Israeli strike on a Gaza hospital today, including Mariam Dagga, a freelancer with the @apnews.com. She has a 12-year-old son, who was evacuated from Gaza earlier in the war. She was a true hero, like all of our Palestinian colleagues in Gaza. tinyurl.com/3cn5c9vb

NEW: In March, the Trump administration announced a massive purge of workers at the nation's health agencies. We asked them how many workers were laid off, pushed out or left. They refused to give us numbers. So we conducted our own analysis... 🧵 projects.propublica.org/federal-heal...

There's a great guide in the @columjournreview.bsky.social today on how to support the most urgent issue in our time as journalists: press freedom in Gaza & protecting Palestinian journalists www.cjr.org/feature/urge...

“Palestinian journalists like Anas al-Sharif have been able to tell their own people’s story directly to the world. And Israel is methodically killing them for it, while many of their Western colleagues and international journalistic institutions remain shamefully silent”— my latest @theguardian.com

As a @propublica.org subscriber, I couldn’t be more disappointed. To think that they do such great work and treat their employees so carelessly. I’ve asked about this frequently but never get a response from management. Practice what you preach, folks!

Over the past 16 months, @thenation.com has published regular dispatches from Lujayn, a teenager in the Gaza Strip. Lujayn has endured huge loss and trauma. Now she, along with the rest of Gaza, is starving. But she is still writing. This is her latest. www.thenation.com/article/worl...

Don't miss any of @mohamhawish.bsky.social's work, most especially this moving, heavy feature: www.thenation.com/article/worl...

“Gaza, in this ongoing catastrophe, cannot be regarded as a distant territory. It has become the trembling fulcrum upon which the gyre of moral collapse turns.” lithub.com/gaza-through...

It's been 737 days of negotiating and anti-labor shenanigans. Please support our fight for equitable practices by following our Guild on bluesky and instagram.

I love working at ProPublica. I would love it more if it could guarantee us just cause protections. Go union.

We can’t produce fearless journalism @ProPublica without knowing our jobs are secure. That’s why I walked out for lunch today — to show support for Just Cause protections that apply to every @ProPublicaGuild worker, every time.

We want a fair and equitable process with robust just cause. We deserve no less than our peers in other unionized newsrooms. I’m not in NY but still lunching out in support.

ProPublica is doing some of the best journalism out there right now, and their staff deserve protections and fair treatment. @propublica.org needs to agree to the guild’s demands so that their staff can be protected while they do their important work.

I’m lunching out with my colleagues today because we at the @propublicaguild.org deserve a fair, progressive disciplinary process

We’re holding a lunch-out today to demand that @propublica management agree to a fair discipline and performance evaluation system. Just today, a member of our Bargaining Committee and Unit Council was fired as a result of ProPublica's flawed system.

Barely an hour ago, Palestinian journalist Anas Al-Sharif warned us all: “If this madness doesn’t end, Gaza will be reduced to ruins, its people’s voices silenced, their faces erased — and history will remember you as silent witnesses to a genocide you chose not to stop.” Israel just killed him.

Sickening. Every journalist in America should think deeply about the fact that most American politicians are willing to accept and indeed facilitate the murder of our colleagues.

When Israel labeled six journalists in Gaza - incl Al Jazeera correspondent Anas al-Sharif - “terrorists” last year, press freedom groups expressed alarm. “The fear is that these six will now possibly be targeted,” @rsf.org’s Rebecca Vincent told me at the time. time.com/7098857/isra...

Truly, how long can we let this happen? What are we going to say to young journalists years from now about how our institutions collectively did nothing?

There is a level of shame I feel at this that is difficult to express. How long will it take for western journalism institutions to condemn this? How many more Palestinian journalists will be killed by Israel by the time this happens, if ever?

Israel assassinated journalist Anas Al-Sharif and his entire Al-Jazeera TV crew in Gaza today. CPJ warned of Israeli smear campaign against him, but few Western media outlets or journalists spoke out in defense of their Palestinian colleagues. Their silence is cowardly and shameful.

Shocking reporting by @nicolefoy.bsky.social and McKenzie Funk. Immigration officers are using escalating tactics to make arrest quotas. projects.propublica.org/trump-ice-sm...

A must-read from @mohamhawish.bsky.social: "'Some don’t speak,' [Nour Jarada] told me. 'They stare, sometimes scream. Most cry for hours, unblinkingly.' Children have asked Jarada if they could go back to school, as if normal were still hiding somewhere nearby." www.newyorker.com/news/the-led...

“[Sundus] says she sometimes wishes she could hide her children inside her eyes and keep them there, safe, where nothing could ever touch them. There is nothing poetic about that image when it comes from a place like Gaza. It’s the logic of war.” www.thenation.com/article/worl...

As a journalist and emerging public historian, I spent much of the past week reading through transcripts of oral histories made and collected by residents of Kerr County, Texas – where flash floods killed more than 100 people this month. There’s one recording that stood out to me. 🧵
