⚡ NEW on Reveal: #AfterAyotzinapa, episode 1

It’s been over seven years since 43 students from the Ayotzinapa Rural Teachers’ College in Guerrero, Mexico, were taken by armed men in the middle of the night. They were never seen again. revealnews.org/podcast/after-…
The disappearance of the #Ayotzinapa students sparked a movement. The 43 became symbols of Mexico’s forced disappearance crisis.

In recent decades, tens of thousands of people have gone missing in Mexico. Almost no one has been held accountable. revealnews.org/podcast/after-…
Why?

➡️ The culture of impunity is so ingrained that families often don’t go to police for help, believing they’re either corrupt or too afraid to investigate. revealnews.org/podcast/after-…

🎧 This week on Reveal, we’re looking back to an event that happened on New Year’s Eve in 1944.

It’s a story — nearly lost to history — about an American war crime during World War II. 🧵 revealnews.org/podcast/take-n…
In December 1944 during the Battle of the Bulge, German troops killed 84 U.S. soldiers who had surrendered.

The incident is referred to as the Malmedy Massacre, and it was splashed across U.S. headlines at the time. bit.ly/chenogne-tw
Two weeks later, U.S. troops committed a similar massacre against German soldiers who had surrendered in Chenogne, Belgium.

But unlike the Malmedy Massacre, what happened in Chenogne did not get the same coverage. bit.ly/chenogne-tw A photo of Chenogne, Belgium

🧵 After a Reveal + @MotherJones investigation prompted action in Congress, a major Dominican sugar exporter razed workers’ homes as US diplomats drew near.

“They didn’t tell me anything. They just came and started breaking houses.” motherjones.com/politics/2021/…
@MotherJones The homes were in a settlement in the Dominican Republic known to residents as Batey Hoyo de Puerco, or Pig Hole, and an estimated 230 Haitian cane cutters and their families lived there. motherjones.com/politics/2021/…
@MotherJones The settlement’s demolition is just one of a wave of actions taken by the billion-dollar Central Romana corporation — one of the biggest suppliers of raw sugar to the United States — following our two-year investigation released in September. bit.ly/reveal-sugar

🧵 Files obtained by Reveal and @wamu885/@DCist show how D.C. Metropolitan Police Department officers avoided accountability and remained on the force, even after internal affairs investigators determined they committed crimes. revealnews.org/article/dc-pol…
@wamu885 @DCist The records, which have never before been made public, show:

The department’s internal investigators concluded that at least 64 people who currently serve as MPD officers committed criminal misconduct. revealnews.org/article/dc-pol…
@wamu885 @DCist The department sought to terminate 24 of those officers.

In 21 of the 24 cases, an internal panel of three officers blocked the terminations and instead issued much lighter punishment.

The panel was led by Robert J. Contee, who is now chief of police. revealnews.org/article/dc-pol…
