A great story about how @reveal turned itself around financially after its 2024 merger w/@MotherJones, and is cranking out smart and deeply reported radio and podcast episodes each week. https://t.co/vhoPxao0PQ

[Sean Wherley @SeanWherley]

Congrats to @MotherJones and @reveal for their recent top honors in online and audio journalism.

We ran up some big video view counts in January - more than 25 million, which is a record for @MotherJones. https://t.co/cQjypvp2SM

ICE is out of control and needs to be abolished. This is unacceptable.

[Jesus Freakin Congress @TheJFreakinC]

🚨BREAKING: Video shows ICE agents shooting an unarmed person, as agents wrestle the person to the ground, in Minneapolis, near Glam Doll Donuts.

You can then see agents open fire on the man’s body as he lies motionless on the ground.

This just happened. More details to come.

Senator Padilla’s office sends me this video of his take-down and detention at Sec. Noem’s press conference in L.A.

[Sean Wherley @SeanWherley]

Big news for @MotherJones & @reveal! We were selected as a Pulitzer Prize finalist for explanatory reporting, for an investigation of a government program that gave land to 1,200 formerly enslaved people—and then took it back. #Reparations #pulitzer

[Sean Wherley @SeanWherley]

In @MotherJones' big investigation published today, thousands of newly obtained emails reveal the extreme, far-right agenda behind the facial recognition company used by ICE and the FBI. Here's a press release about it. https://t.co/ZtSfLjLiri

[Sean Wherley @SeanWherley]

I'm proud to have successfully pitched @MSNBC for the first time; an interview w/@nlanard about his and @isabelaalhadeff's huge story reporting Venezuelan men were deported solely for their tattoos, including one for @Autism Awareness. https://t.co/dwBNffsXqR

[Sean Wherley @SeanWherley]

Thanks to @TheOnion for a little levity (and for mentioning my employer @MotherJones). https://t.co/ttFy8X9RHL

[Sean Wherley @SeanWherley]

One of @MotherJones' founders and top editors, Jeffery Klein, recently died, and here's his obituary in the @washingtonpost. It speaks to his passion, and the tenacity of a news organization challenging the status quo since forming in 1976. https://t.co/oHRlmbkE28

[Sean Wherley @SeanWherley]

Big news for @reveal. Today we launched a weekly podcast, "More To The Story With @Al_Letson." The first episode is a 1-on-1 interview with @HeaphyTimothy, the chief counsel for the House committee investigating the January 6 attack. Learn more: https://t.co/CWbRJjweIj

I live in the second largest media market in the U.S., and it is quickly becoming a news desert of its own.

[David Folkenflik @davidfolkenflik]

This would be a staff reduction at LAT of approximately 13-15 percent

[Sean Wherley @SeanWherley]

@reveal has a new podcast premiering Wednesday, March 5. Host Al Letson will sit down with a guest each week to go in depth on topics that may not be getting a lot of attention elsewhere, or the scrutiny they deserve.

[Sean Wherley @SeanWherley]

The nation's top magazine awards announced its finalists, and @MotherJones and @reveal were finalists in four categories. Here's a little background about the stories. https://t.co/QWf570qQLC

We already see the shutdown's cost. Kids with drug-resistant TB, turned away from clinics, are not just dying - they're spreading the disease. People around the world w HIV, denied their medicine, will soon start transmitting virus. The damage is global. https://t.co/TmFwoFFshT
