No paywall. No corporate owner. No shareholders. That’s the whole point. Independent investigative journalism should be free for everyone — and funded by people who believe it should exist. @propublica.org’s member drive ends tomorrow. Please give if you can! give.propublica.org/campaign/749...

ProPublica has no paywall because we believe investigative journalism is a public service. But free to read doesn’t mean free to produce. Our work is deeply researched, time-intensive and funded by readers. Keep the truth accessible to all. Join us: propub.li/4uEGhrR

Flashbangs burn hotter then lava. They've caused serious burns, severed hands, and even killed. *That's* what ICE just tossed into a car full of kids. Here's our investigation from 2015, by @juliaangwin.com: www.propublica.org/article/flas...

Hotter Than Lava
Every day, police toss dangerous flashbang grenades during raids, with little oversight and horrifying results

Justice Brett Kavanaugh: “If the officers learn that the individual they stopped is a U.S. citizen...they promptly let the individual go." The reality: Americans have been dragged, tackled, beaten, tased and shot by immigration agents. A must read from the very talented @nicolefoy.bsky.social:
propublica.org
More Than 170 U.S. Citizens Have Been Held by Immigration Agents. They’ve Been Kicked, Dragged and Detained for Days.
The government does not track how often immigration agents grab citizens. So ProPublica did. Our tally — almost certainly incomplete — includes people who were held for days without a lawyer. And near...

Donation forms are often targeted for credit card fraud, since they have very low minimums (at PP, even $1 makes you a member!). To prevent stolen card tests, we use the highest security, which requires more info, and that it matches the card. We never share, trade or rent your PII.

Entire government agencies are being reshaped, career experts are leaving and power is shifting — often behind closed doors. ProPublica is investigating. 🧵⬇️ (1/6)

Dr Weiner told Anthony that he’d die without chemotherapy and to ignore a negative biopsy. As a result, Anthony endured 9 years of chemo for a cancer he never had, impeding the care he needed for his very real diabetes. Read the latest WTF from @davidmcswane.bsky.social & @propublica.org

I agree with this quote (because it's true) about ProPublica's audience "ProPublica does not assume its audience wants to hear only about those stories or is allergic to diverse topics." I'm so lucky to be able to talk to our members about our work! www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

Doctors said it was “inevitable” that Josseli Barnica would miscarry. Yet they waited 40 hours for the fetal heartbeat to stop. She died of an infection 3 days later.
