1/ NEW: Federal authorities in VA announced today that 4 men have been arrested in connection with the violence at Unite the Right in Charlottesville in Aug. 2017. We’ve reported on 3 of those men before. We first identified Tom Gillen & Ben Daley in this video last October.
2/ We ID’ed another of the men indicted today, Michael Miselis, back in July, when we discovered he was working for a Defense Contractor with a US government security clearance. propub.li/2OA98wQ
3/ One day after our story published w/ @frontlinepbs, Miselis lost his job with Northrop Grumman. When we confronted him, Miselis told us we “had the wrong guy.” propub.li/2IAhXks
@frontlinepbs 4/ All 3 were part of a violent white supremacist group called the Rise Above Movement, which is based in Southern California. @ACInvestigates has been on the case since the beginning — new story coming soon.

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.

1/ We tell stories with data, design, photography, illustration, audio, video and more. Look at some our favorite visual stories to see why we don’t just rely on words. propub.li/2COhMRx
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:

3/ You’ll be working with all those folks — and collaborating with many others here to help deliver on ProPublica’s mission: to do journalism that makes waves and can have impact.

Tomorrow, Virginians decide whether to vote Corey Stewart into the US Senate.

Tomorrow marks 451 days since 8/12/17, the weekend when violent neo-Nazis came to beat & murder people on the streets outside my home.

How is Corey Stewart responsible?

Let me count the ways.

(1/55)
Most of the world is familiar with the scenes of tiki torches, swastikas, and mob beatings from the weekend when white supremacists, neo-Nazis, Klansmen & genocidal bigots of every stripe all teamed up.

But this story starts months before Charlottesville became #Charlottesville.
Six months earlier, an unlikely friendship began between an irrelevant blogger looking for exposure and an underdog candidate trying to make a name for himself. Over months of joint events, Corey Stewart and Jason Kessler cultivated a mutually beneficial alliance. (3/55)

Federal prosecutors indict a #Russian🇷🇺woman alleged to be the chief accountant of an *ONGOING* Kremlin campaign to influence 2018 ELECTIONS in the US & EU (including troll farm Internet Research Agency) financed by "Putin's Chef," Yevgeniy Prigozhin.🤬

cnn.com/2018/10/19/pol…
One major #Russian🇷🇺social-media theme was to exploit white supremacy👉🏼trolling NFL protests against #racist policing, #immigration, the Confederate flag & “the #Charlottesville ‘Unite The Right’ rally” that killed Heather Heyer in Aug'17.

Goal: INFLAME and DIVIDE US.🤬
Pivoting off a piece by "right-wing blowhard" Michael Savage, the #Russians🇷🇺 sought to “forcefully support” Savage’s message that “any attempt to remove Trump is a direct path to **civil war** in the US."😳

In light of the arrests of several members of the Rise Above Movement (RAM) in relation to the events at Unite the Right in Charlottesville, few points need to be made, as we watch the State go after a small Alt-Right group over a year after the events in Cville.
First and foremost, the strategy and tactics used by police on A12 was informed by 'intelligence' gathered through DHS and Fusion Centers, that was clear: antifascists are the biggest threat to public safety and civil order. shadowproof.com/2018/03/07/doc…
Documents released from West Coast Fusion Centers, which in theory would have monitored the actions of RAM members, especially at Berkeley events, had the same conclusion, even directly stating that "ANTIFA" was "greatest threat to public safety." itsgoingdown.org/manufacturing-…

There was little to no incident in Charlottesville, Va rally today because the police did their jobs unlike a year ago when the Mayor purposefully had law enforcement to stand down; #Charlottesville
The liberal MSM is making Antifa seem as though they are a peaceful law-abiding group. NOPE! They hid behind black scarfs like the Klan hiding behind white sheets. Both are EVIL and hate groups.
#FakeNewsCNN is gleefully reporting that the Antifa outnumbered other groups. And? They were there to create chaos. The left seems to embrace lawlessness.

The far-Right wants Joey Gibson of #PatriotPrayer to reforge a 'big-tent' fighting force to return their movement to where it was before #Charlottesville. There's only one problem - Gibson surrounds himself with groups that took part in #UniteTheRight. itsgoingdown.org/unite-the-righ…
After the death of Heather Heyer in Charlottesville, the far-Right was in a state of disarray. Predictably, many attempted to use conspiracy theories and fabricated lies to explain what had happened as a "setup" to "silence conservatives," or instead, as a "Soros" false-flag.
Leading the pack was Alex Jones + like with Sandy Hook claimed that Charlottesville was false flag. He stated: "I thought Trump’s response was great…we know that Soros has been planning this..and like trying to create provocative events...the whole thing looks staged to me…”

1/ Leaked chats from the #Charlottesville organizers show a group trying to control bad impulses for good publicity. revealnews.org/article/in-cha…
2/ The murder of counter-protester Heather Heyer showed that those efforts were ultimately unsuccessful.
3/ In a conference call, an organizer advised attendees it was okay to think all non-whites should be killed, but don’t tell that to media.
