NEW: @mirrorindy uncovers widespread allegations of sex abuse at Options Behavioral Health Hospital, operated by Acadia Healthcare.
Former employees told me the cases are a symptom of a company culture that places profits over patients🧵
New from me and @Ty_Fenwick:
Years of mismanagement has hampered the Indianapolis Housing Agency's ability to serve low-income renters.
We spent six months trying to understand why.

Have a little #ElectionDay fun with us! As you hit the polls and watch the election news today, mark the squares for things you do and see. Send us your completed card, and we’ll have a drawing on Wednesday, Nov. 6, to win a Mirror Indy swag bag.
Our elected officials make big decisions at public meetings almost every day. What’s often missing? The public. We started Indy Documenters to train and pay people like you to hold decision makers accountable.
Help us hire more Documenters: https://t.co/gRyMwbhLQX
i would say donate $4.20 if you think it's at least kind of funny buzzfeed news closed on 4/20 but the minimum is $5.
so donate $5 if you think it's at least kind of funny buzzfeed closed on 4/20
one of my favorite things about buzzfeed news were the people and that holds true even after our closure. thank you to all who donated, you have no idea how much this will help ❤️
our last act as the @bfnewsunion is fundraising for the 4 unit members that management refuses to give same payout as the rest of us
donate to help sustain their families — & signal to well paid former bosses that we care about workers even if they don't.

hello! we’re raising money for four of our laid-off members who got screwed on the way out. please share and donate if you’re able: https://t.co/rlaAacEgPh
We have one last mission as @bfnewsunion: fundraise for our four colleagues who the company has denied the additional severance the rest of us are getting.
BuzzFeed can refuse to help us, but we can still help each other.
Please donate if you can 💕✊ https://t.co/mWyTGMgni4
At times like these, we will always help each other, even if the company won’t.
Please consider donating to our mutual aid fund for our colleagues and help offset the losses.

On April 20, everybody at BuzzFeed News was laid off. And last week, BuzzFeed told us that everybody will not be treated equally on their way out.
We need your help 🧵
https://t.co/3tOcu5yWiO
Even though BuzzFeed News has closed down, we’re still at the bargaining table, making sure everyone losing their jobs is being treated fairly.
Unfortunately, BuzzFeed couldn’t care less 🧵
The inequality is unignorable, and it’s embarrassing that BuzzFeed management is taking this path. Tell @peretti to do the right thing: https://t.co/tHKaa6bE6j
Just so proud of every single person on this ferocious little team, we punched so far above our weight and became a really invaluable resource for so many writers and editors. I am so lucky that I got to start my career here, and with @BuzzFeedNews. @styleguide FOREVER and EVER.
For so long, there was no better place to work.
We wrote for the ignored, those who didn't fit in all the time or even want to.
We will miss you, dear readers.
