We wanted to put our findings about modern-day redlining directly in front of the people who are affected by the issue.

Like, RIGHT in front of them.

A public transit agency has tried to block our efforts. But we intend to keep fighting. revealnews.org/article/back-o…
Read the investigation that kicked things off: revealnews.org/article/rape-s…
And hear our two-part radio documentary on the topic.

Part 1: revealnews.org/episodes/case-…

Part 2: revealnews.org/episodes/case-…
Finally, it bears repeating: This is an issue ALL OVER THE U.S.

Our story just scratched the surface. If you're a local reporter who wants to dig into your own city's data, get started here: propublica.org/datastore/data…

1/ New story from our #CaseCleared project with @newsy and @ProPublica:

Over 2017-18, Baltimore area police prompted sexual assault victims to waive their rights to an investigation hundreds of times.

The practice goes against the advice of experts. baltimoresun.com/news/maryland/…
2/ It also can lead to cases being "exceptionally cleared."

Read our investigation into how exceptionally clearing cases can make a police department's stats look better than they are – and allow alleged rapists to re-offend. revealnews.org/article/rape-s…
3/ Of more than 300 rape cases reported to Baltimore County police in 2016, 214 were "cleared." More than half of those were exceptionally cleared. @baltimoresun: baltimoresun.com/news/maryland/…

1/ Remember @Dr_Caffrey, the climate change scientist who fought the @NatlParkService’s efforts to censor her work?

She’s about to be out of a job. revealnews.org/blog/scientist…
2/ Caffrey worked under contract with the National Park Service.

Last year, @ShogrenE reported that the agency had attempted to scrub a landmark report she’d worked on of *all* mentions of manmade climate change. revealnews.org/article/wipeou…
3/ Following our reporting ...

*Democratic members of Congress called for an investigation: revealnews.org/blog/democrats…

*The park service released the report with all the references reinstated: revealnews.org/blog/national-…

1/ NEW: The FBI is dismantling a special unit charged with investigating war crimes and hunting down war criminals living in the U.S.

Human rights advocates are worried scrapping this unit will jeopardize prosecutions. revealnews.org/blog/fbi-is-di…
2/ The unit, which was created a decade ago and has its roots in federal efforts to hunt Nazis living in the United States after World War II, has had a hand in many high-profile prosecutions.
3/ One of these was the Liberian warlord Thomas Woewiju, who agents found living a quiet life in Philadelphia:

Good morning! ☕ A nugget from the upcoming @DCHCMPO Board meeting: Growth in vehicle miles traveled (VMT) is outpacing population growth in the Triangle and throughout North Carolina. dchcmpo.legistar.com/gateway.aspx?m…
@DCHCMPO As more people move here, they encounter land use patterns, transportation infrastructure, and policy making that encourage driving as the primary or only travel mode. So what do they do? They drive.
At the state level, resources through @NCDOT to make lasting, substantial changes in nonhighway infrastructure are paltry compared to those for road widening, intersection and interchange "improvements," and other projects that reinforce driving as the best and only travel mode.

Earlier on #eNCA403 from the @StateCaptureCom with Dan Moyane and crossing back to @UvekaR. Mzwanele Manyi resumes this morning, at his third day of speaking under oath. Proceedings are now in session.
#StateCaptureInquiry Chairperson Deputy Chief Justice Raymond Zondo says he will address issues around the inquiry later on. Advocate Vincent Maleka greets Manyi who says, “Morning Mr Maleka, before we start...” Manyi says he wrote to the inquiry on some housekeeping issues.
#StateCaptureInquiry “Mr Maleka’s posture actually confirmed my fears,” says Manyi. He says Maleka’s posture was prosecutorial, not inquisitorial and claims he is being treated as an accused, “here I am here treated as a hostile witness, so to speak” and he does not know why.

They couldn't find one #POC to remember for #RepealedThe8th.

Make no mistake, this is how we are stamped out of history created off our backs.

Because this is 'Remembering the Women Whose Campaigning Led to This Historic Voting Turnout' for posterity.
Sure, I didn't have even the startup loan, or the ability to source popup stores, or mass produce a single branded product behind a Middle Ireland four-letter name,

but @irishtatler still saw fit to include a photo of ppl wearing my merch in print? So why not give a voice?
Also, it is. CRIMINAL. that @JanetOS_ - included in #BBC100Women, a key rallying force behind ARC, blatantly and unceremoniously silenced for being too 'inconvenient' and diverse and honest in her approach to the ref because she'd been personally affected by it - wasn't included.

About to start the #BUFvsATL tweet recap. Buckle up and follow this #thread for all the hottest takes on Sunday's game.
Andre Roberts going back to returning the opening kickoff I see. I'm not sure if he actually tries to read the field or just takes off...
Falcons run game was dominant in this game. Outside of some runs that were stopped for a loss, ATL was having plenty of success there.
