A hall of fame class of journalists is leaving @AP today — 40 reporters and photo/videographers who've taken buyouts as our US news operation shrinks. They've broken untold stories, captured searing images, held power to account and made us all smarter. We'll miss them dearly.
Gillum’s family told law enforcement he had a gun and “expressed recent threats to harm ‘Black people,’” per police bulletin obtained by @AP

The Washington Post fired its Ukraine correspondent in the middle of a war zone and dismissed its Moscow correspondent — one of the most sensitive postings in journalism — by email. Beyond the recklessness of gutting the core of its political reporting, this is simply vile.
Believe it or not, @MekongIndy has no grant support right now, just the drive of a few editors & reporters. If you like our reporting, please consider sending a tip - all $ will go to help offset our travel costs (or plan new travels!) https://t.co/EtWMmcRYQP
Latest investigation for @Mongabay where we uncovered vast marble mining inside a community protected area and conservation zone of a fading wildlife sanctuary in Cambodia.
The firms involved are owned by individuals among Cambodia’s class of politically connected tycoons.

This is 18-mo-old Amalia waving to me when she was detained.
She was hospitalized with a respiratory infection while at ICE’s Dilley facility for immigrant families.
She’s one of dozens of detainees who I spoke to via video and phone calls, letters and an in-person visit. 🧵1/
Have been too shattered to write this but for the sake of clarity — I have also been laid off by the Post. I was one of the few journalists still working inside Russia. My last story went on the front page and featured rare testimonies from wounded soldiers criticizing the war.
A Mexican immigrant whose skull was broken during his arrest by immigration officers last month in Minnesota says the beating was unprovoked. A judge ruled his arrest was unlawful. https://t.co/PC9ll2tDes
ICE said a Mexican immigrant suffered life threatening head injuries because he ran into a brick wall.
But Alberto Castañeda Mondragón tells us at AP that he recounted a brutal beating at the hands of ICE officers who smashed his head with a steel baton:

“It was laughable," a Minnesota nurse said of @ICEgov's acct of how a man received a fractured skull and brain hemorrhages
ICE initially said he ran into a brick wall

UPDATE: We spoke with Alberto, the man whose 8 skull fractures ICE blamed on a brick wall
He says @ICEgov beat him with the same metal rod they used to smash his friend's car windows
"There was never a wall"

ICE claimed that a Mexican man in its custody received skull fractures and life threatening brain bleeds because he “purposefully ran headfirst into a brick wall.”
Nurses at the Minneapolis hospital where the man was sent say ICE impeded his and other patients’ care:
