With @hola_rascon, I went back to Moscow, Idaho, to hang out with Doug Wilson's inner circle. Listen to the end for a story of someone who left the community to become a left wing activist...and then came back. revealnews.org/podcast/doug-…

Trump sicced the National Guard on LA, ramping up immigrant arrests in a city that’s been targeted by ICE for months. Here’s how @LATACO, a local taco site tracking the raids, became an essential reporting powerhouse. 🎧 This week on Reveal: revealnews.org/podcast/ice-i…

Many of the workers in the story are on TPS, a program already in jeopardy thanks to the Trump administration.
Hundreds of Haitians came to Greeley, Colorado, looking for a place to stay and a good job at JBS, the largest meat producer in the world. Instead, they found squalid housing and an unsafe workplace. Their union alleges human trafficking.revealnews.org/podcast/greel…

Incredible that @reveal won not one, but ✨two✨ @duPontAwards. So honored that 40 Acres and Lie was one of those winners. We worked on this for two years and gave it everything we had. To know that our work resonated with these judges means so much to all of us. Thank you 🙏🏼

My latest for @kqedbaycurious and @KQED is about the lovely sex worker rights activist @carol_leigh. When I talked to Carol before she died, I had no idea how rich her life was. She really gave to the culture. Happy to help add a little more to her legacy.

How many of us walk through life talking about a piece of history with such conviction... ...only to find out we were wrong. So, so wrong. Listen to EP 1 of Forty Acres and a Lie: a new series from @reveal and @publicintegrity. bit.ly/3Rrs2oJ

Excited for this @reveal & @publicintegrity collab to go out into the world. A historical investigation into a gvt program that stripped land from a generation of Black families. Proud to have helped with this series and produce this trailer w/ many others like @nadzhamz
Starting tomorrow, we are launching a new three-part series exploring the lesser-known legacy of America's biggest effort at reparations so far: 40 acres and a mule 🎧 to the preview below—and check out the full project here: bit.ly/4bb52S4

40 acres and a mule is largely known as a broken promise. What’s less known is that hundreds, perhaps even thousands, of former slaves did receive land grants—only to have them seized back. Published here is the largest collection of their stories:motherjones.com/politics/202…

I’ll say this a former NPR employee (13 years!): one of the hardest parts of being a public-facing journalist there is the brand itself. Preserving the brand, living up to the brand’s expectations, dealing w/EVERYONE’S opinions about what the brand should be. I don’t miss that!

Our show investigating New Folsom prison aired this past weekend on @reveal. So happy to see @SukeyLewis and @SmallRadio2’s reporting reaching a national audience. This episode is just slice of the multi-part series for @KQED (so catch up if you can!) Produced by yours truly.
What does it take to speak out in a system where no one wants to hear the truth? This week on Reveal: We partner with @KQED and the On Our Watch podcast to tell the story of a correctional officer who reported corruption, and died days later. revealnews.org/podcast/a-whi…
