We found that people of color in dozens of cities were being denied home loans at rates far exceeding their white counterparts. revealnews.org/topic/kept-out/
As Amazon’s big yearly sale begins, Sen. Bernie Sanders released a report on the danger for Amazon workers: warehouse injuries skyrocket around #PrimeDay.
We first exposed this Prime Day problem five years ago at Reveal. 🧵
In 2019, @willexamine obtained groundbreaking internal data from Amazon. It showed the company’s obsession with speed had turned its warehouses into injury mills: The rate of serious injuries at Amazon warehouses was more than double the national average. revealnews.org/article/behind…
Then, we obtained 2019 data and records that showed Amazon deceived the public about its safety crisis – even as injury rates got worse. They were higher at warehouses with robots. And they spiked around Cyber Monday and Prime Day. revealnews.org/article/how-am…
On Aug. 26, 2023, a white supremacist murdered three Black people at a Dollar General in Jacksonville, Florida.
For many residents, including Reveal's @Al_Letson, a native of the city, the tragedy is a deadly manifestation of a growing and more targeted problem in the state. 🧵
"We must be clear. It was not just racially motivated. It was racist violence that has been perpetuated by rhetoric and policies designed to attack Black people, period. We cannot sit idly by as our history is being erased," State Rep. Angie Nixon says.
In recent years, Florida Gov. @RonDeSantis and the Republican-dominated legislature have passed a series of bills targeting minority groups. The policies have banned books about Black history in schools and criminalized what teachers can and cannot teach.
As @raeoflion investigated cases where police criminally charged sexual assault victims w/ false reporting, she found a second problem: Media coverage splashing victims’ names and mugshots all over their community, parroting police statements that they lied about being raped. 🧵
In our @netflix film, @victimsuspect, Dyanie Bermeo talks about being booked and released, falling asleep in her dorm room and waking up to a police Facebook post about her arrest. It said that she lied about being assaulted. netflix.com/victimsuspect
Local media wrote stories about her arrest, and the criminal justice major’s life was forever changed. The next year, she was acquitted. @raeoflion found glaring holes in the police investigation, too. But the stories saying she lied were still online.
NEW: A state lawmaker is calling for Kentucky to regulate anti-abortion crisis pregnancy centers after a Reveal investigation found that most centers aren’t subject to the same kind of oversight as other medical clinics. revealnews.org/article/kentuc…
Rep. @SarahForKY filed House Bill 489 after Reveal published a story about a Kentucky nurse, Susan Rames, who reported infection control issues at a pregnancy center where she volunteered. revealnews.org/article/this-n…
The center was using an expired disinfectant to sanitize equipment used in transvaginal ultrasounds.
And that disinfectant had no efficacy against HPV, a widespread sexually transmitted infection responsible for more than 90% of cervical cancers.
🧵: There’s a theory about how kids learn to read that’s been proven wrong by cognitive scientists.
New on 🎧 Reveal, we explore how teaching materials based on this flawed theory made it into classrooms all over the country. revealnews.org/podcast/how-te…
1/ Today, Education and the Workforce Committee Chair @VirginiaFoxx tried to stop the pending release of federal contractors’ diversity data.
We’ve been fighting for its release. Naturally, she came after us, too.
@virginiafoxx 2/ We’ve successfully sued the @USDOL twice, challenging their refusal to make public the diversity reports that federal contractors must file.
Now, they’re about to release some of the data – and provide an unprecedented look at the nation’s workforce.
@virginiafoxx@USDOL 3/ Foxx demanded that the Labor Department pause, saying it’s “surrendering employee privacy to the left.”
In a letter to @Jennyryang, Foxx calls us a “left-of-center journalism organization.”
