1/ Thread: This is a story about what happens when you say no to #MS13.

@hannahdreier spent the year reporting on the gang on Long Island. This story is from her and @Ksurana6.

It is long. It is riveting. It is graphic.
2/ Jonathan came to the US from Honduras in 2013, to be with his mother on Long Island.

Later, he remembered how lonely it had been — so he liked to be the first to welcome new immigrant teens when they showed up to Bellport High.

That’s how he met Gerson Saravia.
3/ Jonathan introduced Gerson to his friends, including:

-the Morales brothers, from Guatemala
-Alfred, a Salvadoran-American freshman

Soon, Gerson was coming over to their houses after school to play video games.

2/ Waste removal is one of the most dangerous jobs in the country, and every night in New York private trucks zigzag across the city making hundreds of stops each. We charted one driver’s journey with this interactive map: propub.li/2sb7CEc
3/ Speaking of waste removal, we produced this explainer video on deaths caused by drivers of trucks owned by Sanitation Salvage, a Bronx trash hauler that has defended its record but has since surrendered its operating license:

1/ Hi. Do you like our storms — and how we use social to *do* journalism?

Do you think about how journalism can be done differently — and have experience doing it?

Well, happy Wednesday. propub.li/2CKixLb
2/ We’re hiring someone to lead our audience and engagement team. You’ll be overseeing more than a half-dozen journos — our social folks & our engagement reporters, who do deeply cool work:

Trump and Mussolini: 11 Key Lessons from Historical Fascism

Italian fascism provides a better model for our moment than Nazi Germany—and the comparison is not encouraging.

By: @Anis_Shivani for @AlterNet

1/
Fascism is a religion. The 20th century will be known in history as the century of fascism.
〰️ Benito Mussolini

2/
I’d like to draw some comparisons and contrasts between our present situation and that of #fascist Italy between 1922 and 1945. I choose fascist #Italy rather than #Nazi #Germany because it has always seemed to me a better comparison.

1) This is my #Qanon thread with Q posts from March 15th to the present.

Q posts can be found on the following sites, though some users receive warnings when accessing them on mobile devices:
qanon.pub
qanonposts.com

My theme: "Bring the Rain"
2) First, a correction:
I posted a list from the Office of Foreign Asset Control and said the list contained names of people affected by the December 21 Executive Order by POTUS. Some names may be due to the EO, but most are not. OFAC has published a monthly list for years.
3) #Qanon posted this.
