3/ In the Explanatory category: @lizabio showed how a potent, drift-prone weed killer began demolishing crops while the EPA did little to curb the damage. revealnews.org/article/scient…

2/ In April, @Jasper_Craven reported that as the VA has become an increasingly attractive target for corporate lobbying, former Rep. Jeff Miller has emerged as a one-man gatekeeping operation. revealnews.org/article/how-ex…
3/ In 2018, @jasper_craven and @suzannecgordon found that private companies are racing to develop treatments for a massive surge in veterans’ PTSD.

Meanwhile, some psychiatrists are warning it’s junk science. revealnews.org/article/vas-me…

1/ 🎤 [Taps mic] 🎤

We're thrilled to announce that we've just unveiled a brand-new @reveal Reporting Network.

This one is about U visas – and all the ways U.S. law enforcement has put up barriers for immigrant crime victims. revealnews.org/welcome-to-rev…
2/ Some context:

The U visa is supposed to protect immigrant crime victims that cooperate with law enforcement.

But across the country, police are undermining it.

@lauracmorel's brand-new investigation, out today: revealnews.org/article/the-u-…
3/ How does this work?

Well, when victims pursue the visa, they are dropped into a capricious system in which law enforcement officials decide on their own which cases to support or decline.

1/ In 2000, Congress created a visa that established protections for immigrant crime victims.

This "U visa" helps them get legal status if they cooperate with cops.

We found that police across the US are routinely denying victims access to this relief. revealnews.org/article/the-u-…
2/ For years, immigrants have feared calling police for fear of being deported, even when they’re the victim of a crime.

Lawmakers created the U visa to provide temporary status to immigrant victims.

It also helps law enforcement crack down on crime.
3/ Police or prosecutors need to confirm that a victim was “helpful” in the investigation by signing a five-page form.

Without it, victims can’t even apply for the U visa.

“Law enforcement holds that power,” one Florida immigration attorney said.

06/01/2019 - 78 years ago today, the longest-serving #UnitedStates #President, #Franklin D. #Roosevelt (#FDR) addressed the 77th #Congress with his "#Four #Freedoms" speech with the intent to shift #US #foreign #policy from that of #neutrality to #interventionist.
#FDR promoted the idea that the people of the world, in all nations, shared entitlement to four freedoms: that of the freedom of speech and expression, the freedom of worship, the freedom from want and the freedom from fear.
#FDR is arguably one of the most 'successful' #US Presidents. Some would argue that on the basis of his numerous social policies such as 'the New Deal'. Others, however, would argue that his role during the second world war was more prevalent to his success & everlasting legacy.

Arguments that #libraries are beneficial really don't have anything to do with the #consent argument against #taxation, so they are really quite uninteresting, and not at all even an argumentative response to the good professor. That being said, it's important to understand…
#Libraries are terribly underfunded, when they should be a top priority for civic spending. It is not inconsistent to be pro library funding and con taxation, if you argue for a #noncoercive yet still #compulsory financing source, i.e. Just Rent #LVT. Most libraries cannot…
accept donated books, because they simply cannot afford the staff and infrastructure required to preserve and maintain an ever-growing stock of physical texts. #Libraries must therefore concentrate on what items #librarians deem important or popular in their community. …
