The perverse logic of a brutal government: The Myanmar junta is arresting business leaders who give workers raises because that will encourage the public to think the inflation is rising. https://t.co/315FsiKRC2

Don't miss @shoeshine's new investigation about parents taking *legal* drugs to treat their addictions who have their babies taken away. At least 3,700 women were reported to child protective services for taking doctor-approved drugs to aid their recovery https://t.co/gmS4JjyA0B

People across Myanmar wore flowers on Monday to show support for the jailed civilian leader. Since then, the ruling military has been rounding them up.

Families in Indonesia thought they're sending their sons to a rehab facility run by a powerful official. Those who stayed there say it was a brutal human slavery operation. “This was jail. They treated us like animals,” said Bambang.

On April 13th I got an email from a stranger, @FayadMulla
He was on Lesbos & had footage from 2 days prior showing migrants getting rounded up on land & ditched in the Aegean by the coast guard
Did I want to see it?
If you think the answer was an easy "yes," you're wrong.

@nyttypos @nytimes Thanks. Fixing it now.
