He Leaked the Secrets of a Southeast Asian Scam Compound. Then He Had to Get Out Alive A source trapped inside an industrial-scale scamming operation contacted me, determined to expose his captors’ crimesβ€”and then escape. This is his story.

Last year, a human trafficking victim trapped in a crypto scam compound in the Golden Triangle region of Laos contacted me. He then proceeded to leak to me a huge collection of the compound's internal materials.

Then he had to get out alive. This is his story.

Nothing to see here. Just the president of the United States declaring that an ethnic group consistently votes against him, that their votes are illegitimate, and that they should leave the country. www.youtube.com/watch?v=oNQo...

He will use force if he wants to use force. Nothing he says can be taken at face value.

every single successful general strike in US history has had union backing through the local AFL-CIO

this is the first time it’s been called for since the 1940s

Teen dies of cancer days after mother arrested by ICE: β€˜She’s never gonna see him’ The mother's family pleaded with federal officers for her release from custody to say her final goodbyes to her son, but their requests went unanswered.

ICE detained Arlit Maria Martinez on her way to work. 2 days later, her 15 yo son died of cancer. They wouldn't let her out to say goodbye. The family had planned to move back to Mexico prior to the cancer diagnosis but stayed for his treatment. Now, Mr Martinez has lost his wife to ICE & his son.

An editor who thinks novelty is having a town hall with Alan Dershowitz, or publishing the thousandth anti-woke story, doesn’t think having first hand testimony of migrants suffering abuse because of US decisions is newsworthy.

And did she file a false FBI report and did RFK get her to file a false restraining order. Why is he not taking any heat for this?

Thank you. I don’t understand the jaded and/or holier than thou attitude that some journalists seem to be exhibiting toward this whole thing.

The New York Times Spread Dangerous Health Disinformation, Erased It, Hopes You Don’t Notice The New York Times aided the MAGA, anti-science FDA in its mission to undermine the public’s trust in life saving vaccines. Another example of editorial decisions undermining trust in the Grey Lady.

Should @nytimes.com edit headlines/make substantial rewrites w/o informing readers?

Should they document edits?

Here’s an egregious example of a post-publication rewrite + our analysis.

To me this framing and response shows so clearly their belief that other peopleβ€”readers of the newspaperβ€”aren’t capable of correctly assessing what’s happening in the world. That we need the NYT to challenge our narrow confirmation biases. More than a tinge of messianic arrogance.

Went to NYT and WSJ to see if either had reported this, was expecting to be disappointed, and was. Reporting on this level of vitriol and mental instability is not β€œvalidating the views” of those dislike the president. In the future, a timeline of all the stories not reported will be instructive.
