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

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:
niemanlab.org/2017/04/with-i…
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.

The trial of accused Charlottesville attacker James Fields continues this week, but there is a lot of other white supremacist and far right court involvement happening elsewhere this week, too. It’s all on first-vigil.com but I’ll post some synopses here.
In Indiana, William Lustig, who is alleged to be part of an Aryan Brotherhood-related group, is due in court today for an initial appearance for methamphetamine possession. He's one of nine suspected members of a white supremacist prison trafficking ring.
Also today, in the Federal Courthouse in Charlottesville, Ben Daley, from the Rise Above Movement featured in the Pro Publica documentary, will have a bond review hearing. He will have witnesses testifying.
