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.

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...

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:

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.

people say a dem fox news wouldn't go that well but propublica's 'we go after shitheads you don't like' attitude is exactly like that

I don't know how to feel about this without knowing your son's age.

Thanks so much to the 60K+ folks who've donated to ProPublica so far this year!

“I Thought He Was Helping Me”: Patient Endured 9 Years of Chemotherapy for Cancer He Never Had Anthony Olson was told that he’d die without the treatment and to ignore a negative biopsy. He’s one of many patients who may have received harmful or unnecessary treatments from Montana oncologist Dr...

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.

Opinion | Our democracy needs a different model for journalism Informed voters are increasingly an endangered species. ProPublica’s nonprofit model could help save them.

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!

A Texas Woman Died After Waiting 40 Hours for Miscarriage Care Josseli Barnica is one of at least two pregnant Texas women who died after doctors delayed emergency care. She’d told her husband that the medical team said it couldn’t act until the fetal heartbeat s...

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.
