For @theintercept I wrote about ICE posting then deleting a bunch of records from its website and how 6/8 of the mortality reviews of deaths in custody from 2025 found that detention staff broke (sometimes pretty egregiously!) with standards of med care. theintercept.com/2026/09/30/…
ICE's own mortality review finds in the death of Johnny Noviello, a canadian national, on May 15, 2025 at Krome Service Processing Center, that his care "deviated beyond safe limits of practice," apparently from start to finish. Specifically:

Excited to reintroduce legislation to make Diwali a federal holiday, a celebration highlighting the beauty of light prevailing over evil. Especially when hate finds its way into our world, it is vital to show our community members we stand with them. indiawest.com/ny-congresswom…

For years, a postgraduate fellowship at the Journalism School paid students a salary to investigate the world’s biggest problems and publish them in prestigious newspapers. But earlier this year, the Journalism School shut it down, @spencerdaviis reports. columbiaspectator.com/news/2…

The thing about this is this isn't even in the realm of "vague Indian politics knower." It's international front page news.

Read this from @TheArtist_MBS, who interviewed the Logan Circle shooter several times over the last year. On his HOA feud: “It’s affected every part of my life — my sleep, dietary habits." A glimpse into the man's descent into darkness washingtonsun.com/metro/dc/l…

We are devastated by the killing of Dr. Rizk Abu Shaaira, a Palestinian surgeon featured in our documentary AMERICAN DOCTOR, in an Israeli airstrike on Nasser Medical Complex in Khan Younis, Gaza. We condemn this attack and the continued assault on Gaza’s healthcare system.

Politico's reporting is incorrect. Although a resolution on City Council electoral strategy was proposed, it did not receive enough support to be included on the convention agenda and will not be debated at Saturday's convention.
New: At their convention Saturday, NYC-DSA members plan to vote to explore fielding socialist candidates in “each” City Council district across NYC in 2029. Awkwardly, the resolution proposing that plan appears to be at least partially AI-generated. politico.com/newsletters/new…

Beyond thrilled to be joining this powerhouse team at the publication that's been my North Star for so many years! And very grateful to the amazing people I've gotten to work with at @highcountrynews, @typeinvestigate, and @PUENTE_NEWS_ — not to mention the OGs at @MarfaRadio.
