this is just a list of things @annevclark.bsky.social and I think would be fun to hear Matt Berry say and yes I do consider this service journalism

Omg?????? Matt Berry should be in everything and this is an inspired choice, let him cook

Whistleblower claims ex-DOGE member says he took Social Security data to new job The Social Security inspector general’s office is investigating allegations that the former DOGE engineer took sensitive data on a thumb drive in a major potential security breach, said people familia...

A DOGE software engineer is alleged to have taken records on more than 500 million living and dead Americans, including Social Security numbers, places and dates of birth, citizenship, race and ethnicity, and parents’ names. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202... by @merylkornfield.bsky.social et al

Hello Bluesky! We're the Washington Post data team. We dig through government records, social media, campaign finance reports, weather maps, and any other data we can dig up, download, FOIA or create. Then, we share what we find with you.

We've worked on a lot in the past year. A few highlights 🧵

Extremely honored to be among such incredible company on this list — really proud to see our investigation into the VA’s disability benefits program recognized as a Goldsmith semifinalist!

I’m now on mat leave after my son was born last week, but just wanted to share that after doing genuinely noooothing to prepare for labor/delivery, I credit my 10 sec delivery to a dope epidural and listening to the @theresthistory.bsky.social while chilling in the hospital

The Trial of Gisèle Pelicot’s Rapists United France and Fractured Her Family After fifty-one men were convicted of the crime, Pelicot became a feminist hero. But additional accusations left her children struggling to accept her new role.

Just a stunning, horrifying piece of reporting and writing by Rachel Aviv. www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...

This shows the true scope of these layoffs — and it’s deeper than numbers on a page.

These numbers aren’t just statistics. They reflect careers, communities, and a profound shift in who gets to shape the journalism and mission of The Washington Post.

When I analyzed all of Kennedy’s social media posts since 2022, we saw that he shifted to talking dramatically more about food than vaccines when he became HHS secretary; re food, Bigtree told the Post “It was an easier topic to sell to moms across America.”

This entire final sequence. Like a painting

The Post was foolish enough to unleash a bevy of the world’s most talented multi-disciplinary journalists out there for their competition to scoop up. These are some of the most hard working and skilled people I know.

Save this one and reshare it please! 📊

Still working to hold power to account here
@washingtonpost.com on the health team amid our crushing losses yesterday.

Email/signal/DM with tips as the work continues.

@timmeko.bsky.social has shepherded the incredible graphics team for years and it’s our deep deep loss to see him let go

I have loved getting to work with Janice, she’s another star graphics reporter/cartographer—I still share her work from our story on abortion clinic wait times post FL ban wapo.st/4gOKrpU

The Washington Post gutted the health team which I helped to lead despite our stories being among the most widely read, impactful and adept at reaching new audiences.

Here's who the Washington Post just laid off.

Lost my job at the Washington Post today, along with many of the best in the business. I want to keep covering tech and the internet. If you have leads on jobs for me or my colleagues, please reach out. I’m so proud of our work.

Luis is a brilliant brilliant graphics reporter: bsky.app/profile/lmel...

Shelly Tan whose work on pop culture is always the most delightful—her post on X: x.com/tan_shelly/s...

Daniel’s work has always been inspiring to me and I’m so sad to lose him as a colleague

Alyssa is incredible and can genuinely do it all: bsky.app/profile/alys...

Amid the hundreds of colleagues we’ve lost today, I wanted to highlight the BRILLIANT data/graphics folks who any newsroom should be fighting to hire right now—threading here:

Emily is the best sports data journalist working right now, and I have no doubt she will continue to do incredible things in whichever newsroom is lucky enough to hire her. I’ll deeply miss getting to work with such an amazing colleague (and fellow FPL fan!!!)

So many incredible journalists got laid off today. Heroes, mentors, friends. Just an absolutely devastating day. Starting a thread here with some of their incredible work, and how to follow and support them.

A lot of people cannot just start a paid newsletter or become freelancers to sustain their careers. The sports, metro, and international desks did work that requires *team* resources, like legal checks, documents, access to archives, and long-term beat experience.
