This is the company Ashton Kutcher sold out Iowa for.
As the Utah company producing coronavirus tests rolls out a related joint venture in India, it now also faces four proposed class-action lawsuits alleging that investors lost millions over its false claims. iowainformer.com/politics/20…

Before revisiting this article I wrote for the @IowaInformer, even I had forgotten extent of the violent force and political power that had been leveraged against @DesMoinesBLM in the summer of 2020. It's worth reflecting on. iowainformer.com/politics/20…

Senators Brad Zaun and Jake Chapman are barnstorming central Iowa to accuse public school teachers of peddling porn in an effort to protect students from the scourge of thinking critically about the world. iowainformer.com/politics/20…

Private Discord messages leaked to media collective @UR_Ninja reveal plans by a member of the neo-Nazi splinter group Patriot Front to grow the movement in Des Moines. iowainformer.com/blogs/flyov…
Iowa Informer retweeted
Antifascists have assumed the number of Patriot Front affiliates in Iowa to be around 5-10, although now based on the leaked chats, it appears there is only one.
Iowa Informer retweeted
Patriot Front propaganda has been found in alleyways in Downtown Iowa City, there have also been two interstate banner drops on I80 and I380 by Iowa City and North Liberty in the past 2 years.

The memorial referenced at the beginning of this story was burnt down. If you can, help rebuild it. iowainformer.com/longform/20…

If Chuck Grassley is mad that Fox News is repeating the same story ten times, he could always turn the TV all the way off and read a reliable news source. There’s accurate local, state, and national reporting in @DMRegister, @IowaPublicRadio, @SLTimes, @LauraRBelin, @iowainformer

I'm only 2/3s through, but this is a tremendously helpful article that fills in the pieces of this story that I was missing.
Check out "Abdi Sharif's Revolution," a new investigative piece from me at the @IowaInformer.
"The story of an immigrant family searching for their son, the police determined to shape public perception of the case, and a community demanding justice."

A technically equal vaccine distribution between a large public school system and the neighboring private parochial schools produces inequitable results.
I reported on the vaccine rollout in Des Moines metro schools for the @IowaInformer. iowainformer.com/politics/20…

Upstanding reporting again by the Informer. DMPD's entire justification for this incident is they're allowed to arrest people for being out too late at night. Polk County DA is clearly trying to avoid trial.
Now a senior officer with the Des Moines police, Brian Foster was criticized in June for potentially illegal arrests of BLM protesters inside an apartment complex. iowainformer.com/politics/20…

Here's the report I wrote for the @IowaInformer on the events that led to the ban against protesters that has been ruled unenforceable. iowainformer.com/politics/20…
🎉 BREAKING: A federal district court today ruled that the state can't enforce its ban of five @DesMoinesBLM protesters from the Iowa Capitol Complex grounds.

The Des Moines City Council is poised to approve the promotion of @DMPolice Brian Foster tomorrow. Foster was specifically named and condemned by @DesMoinesBLM after he entered a residency without a warrant to arrest non-violent protesters in June. iowainformer.com/politics/20…

Spent some time with this reporting from @aaronpcalvin. Enterprise doesn't cover it. The accounts featured in it are something to sit with this weekend.

A scoop from me for the @IowaInformer: A judge ruled Tuesday that @DMPolice spokesperson Paul Parizek violated Iowa public records laws by withholding body camera footage. Now he has to pay a fine and the plaintiff’s lawyer fees. iowainformer.com/politics/20…
