1/ The Trump administration is considering whether to revive a college accreditor, ACICS, that had allowed predatory for-profit schools to thrive.
nytimes.com/2018/04/01/us/…
2/ A former for-profit college executive, now advising Education Secretary Betsy DeVos, has reportedly been involved in the bid to reenergize ACICS.
politico.com/newsletters/mo…
3/ As it happens, we’ve done a lot of reporting abt ACICS & how it failed to protect students. When compared to other accrediting agencies, their schools and students:
*have lower grad rates
*have a harder time repaying loans
*are more in debt

4/ ACICS accreditation allowed billions of taxpayer dollars to flow to the schools as financial aid. propub.li/2pVOZDS
5/ Who was on ACICS’ board? A lot of for-profit college execs.

6/ All these problems resulted in the Obama administration moving to effectively kill ACICS: propub.li/2pZewfm
7/ And now…. it may be on its way back.

1/ Thread: This is a story about what happens when you say no to #MS13.

@hannahdreier spent the year reporting on the gang on Long Island. This story is from her and @Ksurana6.

It is long. It is riveting. It is graphic.
2/ Jonathan came to the US from Honduras in 2013, to be with his mother on Long Island.

Later, he remembered how lonely it had been — so he liked to be the first to welcome new immigrant teens when they showed up to Bellport High.

That’s how he met Gerson Saravia.
3/ Jonathan introduced Gerson to his friends, including:

-the Morales brothers, from Guatemala
-Alfred, a Salvadoran-American freshman

Soon, Gerson was coming over to their houses after school to play video games.

2/ Waste removal is one of the most dangerous jobs in the country, and every night in New York private trucks zigzag across the city making hundreds of stops each. We charted one driver’s journey with this interactive map: propub.li/2sb7CEc
3/ Speaking of waste removal, we produced this explainer video on deaths caused by drivers of trucks owned by Sanitation Salvage, a Bronx trash hauler that has defended its record but has since surrendered its operating license:

1/ Hi. Do you like our storms — and how we use social to *do* journalism?

Do you think about how journalism can be done differently — and have experience doing it?

Well, happy Wednesday. propub.li/2CKixLb
2/ We’re hiring someone to lead our audience and engagement team. You’ll be overseeing more than a half-dozen journos — our social folks & our engagement reporters, who do deeply cool work:

#Trump said his Russian business efforts, including during the campaign were "Very legal" and "VERY COOL."

HAHAHAH....yep, I sure do agree with that. Very cool, indeed.

Of course, most of the media have no clue, though some of them do, b/c some have reported the truth.
Well, sommanab*tch! The link I saved from one of the media outlets that knew ...now seems to be gone. Of course I couldn't archive it because it was WaPo. They wouldn't let me archive it.
Well, here's another one, by Buzzfeed, no less. They KNEW that Trump worked WITH the FBI, yet they participated in the conspiracy against him to frame him as the guilty one.

🚀This new Space Program announcement is very suspicious.

⏲️Such coincidental timing!!

☠️The Trump administration is getting "ready" to implement new sanctions for the poisonings of Sergei V. Skripal and his daughter Yulia.

nytimes.com/2018/08/08/wor…
😳Actually the deadline was 2 weeks ago.

💌Rep. Ed Royce had to write the administration a letter to remind them.

🚀Now, all of a sudden, Pence is announcing plans for absolute "dominance" in creating a Space Force by 2020. No ordinary space force.

🇷🇺We need Russian rockets!
‼️This is sooooooooo transparent.

🤣And ludicrous.

🔨Just implement the damn sanctions.

1. On Sunday, @SecPompeo will speak at an event to "support Iranian voices." Some in the Iranian-American community see the #Trump administration as allies in bringing secular democracy to #Iran.

As an Iranian-American, I find this so, so troubling.

lobelog.com/pompeo-religio…
2. Most proponents of regime change agree on a vision of #Iran as “a secular, parliamentary democracy" though they are light on specifics. There is something *totally wild* about casting Pompeo as an ally for any political movement that places secularism on a pedestal.
3. You might think Pompeo's anti-Islam views would be what undercuts any claims that he cares about Iran's common people. He has stated, "The threat to America is from people who deeply believe that Islam is the way and the light and the only answer."
