The government *still* isn’t tracking how often immigration agents detain U.S. citizens. We are. 500+ Americans have been handcuffed, held at gunpoint or held against their will in Trump’s second term. Our tally is almost certainly an undercount. THREAD (content warning: violence) ⬇️

There is so much importance placed only on voting but unfortunately we all fell for the okey-doke. We need to care more about politics all the time and not just during election season. We need to be active and show up and make our voice heard and uplift the voices that are being missed.

We're continuing to report on sports betting apps, and we need your help. ProPublica is looking for at least 250 people who use DraftKings and FanDuel to share their data with us and help us understand how the apps respond to user behavior. ➡️ How to help: projects.propublica.org/sports-betti...
A neon green tracker shows that ProPublica has received 28 people's sports betting data, just over 10% of the way towards its goal of 250. Text below reads: If you’re one of millions of Americans who have placed an online bet on a sporting event, you know how quickly you can go from celebrating your wins to feeling like the odds are stacked against you.

ProPublica is trying to understand how sports betting apps incentivize users to keep playing and when they warn users to pump the brakes. To do that, we need your help: We’re aiming for at least 250 people to upload their gambling history from apps like FanDuel and DraftKings. We’re not quite there yet, so if you’ve used these apps, you can help our journalists. If you’ve worked in the industry, you can also help us by answering a few questions. (You can also reach us on Signal.)

A new IWPR report confirms that college-educated Black women are more likely to lead in government than in companies. Which is why the DOGE cuts that slashed federal jobs have been particularly devastating for college-educated Black women. #blacksky

Judge them now. Make them feel the impact of their hatred and bigotry and greed right now. Waiting is just you wanting to try and have someone do it for you. Hoping that everyone else will start and fun the parade while you sit there.

Tbh it's always bothered me that some are waiting for history books to be written for people to start seeing the error of their ways. That's brave of you to believe that so many of these people are going to allow themselves to be seen in that kind of light when they have the power to change that.

Sometimes when I'm in the Booksky thread I sometimes forget that I'm there and not in Blacksky and wonder why the heck I'm seeing nonBlack people. You'd think the fact that everyone is talking about books might be helpful but it's not

I love audiobooks. Now that I'm back in school it really helps to have audiobooks to listen to so I can focus on reading with my actual eyes when it comes to official reading. Gives the brain a fun break.

NEW: Remember when John Oliver opened a church to expose how easy it was to get tax exemptions? This year, ProPublica reporters set out to establish private schools to test if, truly, anyone could open one. We founded two. Here’s how.

I don't get the people who fell for that but I do understand that there were some who saw these women popping off because of it and decided to see if they could cash in. Unfortunately some of them also decided to double dip and go down the road of rage baiting as well.

Zionism is racism. The United Nations voted to declare it as such in 1975, half a century ago. This isn’t new, and this isn’t controversial.

If everything a woman does will end in jail you might as well live to the fullest but also advocate for a better society while you're on your way. Never hurts to make things better for you and the population. So advocate for justice reform & prison abolition (at least abolish for profit prisons).

And somehow many will direct their hatred to the people working in the same tax bracket as them (or even lower) or immigrants who can't receive any benefits despite paying billions into this country.

This is the most heartbreaking stories I’ve heard in a long time. ICE detained 2-year-old Orlin Hernandez Reyes’ mother. She begged to be reunited with him before deportation. ICE refused. What happened next is horrific. No matter how you feel about immigration, normal people don’t like cruelty.
