1/ We worked with @newsy and @propublica to figure out why so many rape cases go unpunished in America.

A rundown of #CaseCleared …
2/ The investigation showed how police can claim high levels of success for clearing rape investigations, even when suspects walk free and victims feel abandoned.

3/ In Part I of our two-part podcast, we examined the role of police.

We went deep inside the Austin Police Department to hear from a whistleblower about the pressure she faced to clear cases in ways she felt wasn’t honest ...

revealnews.org/episodes/case-…
4/ ... And we heard about the consequences of police letting a suspect with a thick investigative file against him go free. revealnews.org/episodes/case-…
5/ Part II, out last weekend, looked at the role of prosecutors.

We examined how rape myths continue to influence juries and prosecutors, even when they’re proven wrong by science, evidence and apparent confessions.

6/ Our partners at @newsy have produced a two-part documentary series on the topic, as well.

Watch the first chapter here:

7/ And the second chapter here:

1/ Before leaving office, @SecretaryZinke rejected scientists + bypassed Congress to build a “lifesaving road” on a pristine wildlife refuge.

Our reporting suggests the real purpose is transporting seafood – and helping the world’s biggest fish processor. revealnews.org/article/trumps…
2/ For six decades, the Izembek National Wildlife Refuge, tucked along the coast of the Bering Sea in Alaska, has been protected as one of the wildest nature spots on Earth, remote enough to escape development.
3/ That began to change about a year ago, when Zinke signed a land swap that aimed to create better access between the cannery town of King Cove and a nearby airport.

Part of the deal was building 12 miles of road.

1/ In this week’s episode: Officials from @NatlParkService heaped pressure on scientist @Dr_Caffrey to get her to remove all mentions of manmade climate change from a trailblazing scientific report.

It’s part of a larger pattern. revealnews.org/episodes/silen…
2/ Maria Caffrey, a University of Colorado researcher under contract with the @NatlParkService, spent years calculating how much flooding 118 national parks should expect from sea level rise and storm surge.
3/ But after @realdonaldTrump took office, the release of Caffrey’s research was stalled. Officials began trying to censor it.

We reported that first, in April 2018: revealnews.org/article/wipeou…

1/ Tech cos @Oracle, @PalantirTech & others gave some weak excuses for trying to keep their diversity numbers secret.

They said:

*Other companies would steal their workers.

*It would invade employee privacy.

*And the kicker: They'd face bad PR. revealnews.org/article/oracle…
2/ We challenged those excuses, suing the government. We won.

Now, government contractors can't hide their EEO-1 reports, which show their workforce broken down by race, gender and broad job category.
3/ It also means we can see the wild arguments they have made for hiding their numbers.

Buckle up.

THREAD: 2018 has seen a diversification of quality reporting and uptick in exposure of the mass repression of #Uighurs and other Turkic Muslim minorities in western #China, by media, academics, and civil society groups across the world.
.@RFA Uyghur Service should be commended for its long-standing and fearless reporting on the situation in #Xinjiang, way before the current human rights crisis began to unfold. See its reporting here: rfa.org/english/news/u…, esp. the series of interviews w/ victims/families.
Despite government restrictions, major international media outlets have produced several deep-dive investigative pieces, based on satellite imagery, interviews with victims and/or their families, procurement documents on Chinese government websites, and field visits.

Thread of recommendations for students handing in essays in the humanities, specifically history. Written as I mark.
At the very start of your assignment, before you even type an introduction, you should make sure it is clear what question you are answering. I like seeing it in italics on the opening page, but this may vary. Either way, don't keep the marker guessing.
Titles are nice. There is no rule saying that your essay has to be titled "Jeffrey Atkins - Research Essay."

They're sometimes hard to come up with but they make a good impression with even a little thought.

Most men that I know, men who respect women as equals, are shocked when allegations come out about people like #HarveyWeinstein, #BillCosby, #LouisCK. They are in shock when men they know are accused of sexually harassing or assaulting women. THREAD 1 #BelieveWomen #RWU #MeToo
Some men find it very hard to believe that these things are so common, because they would never DO those things. If I were a man and I hadn’t experienced harassment and inappropriate behavior multiple times, I would probably find it difficult to believe. 2 #MeToo #BelieveHer
I decided to share about what I’ve experienced, so that good men who respect women can start to understand that these things happen to women know they know, work with, are related to, and love, every day. Their friends, neighbors, coworkers, relatives. 3 #sexualharassment
