Hi everyone! I guess we're doing this social media thing from scratch? OK, here it goes:
I'm a reporter @ProPublica writing about worker safety & migration. Sometimes I'll dabble outside this universe. I'm looking forward to figuring out how this platform works. If you have any pointers, I'm all ears.

Here's my first story at ProPublica published in mid-November about how the U.S. refugee resettlement system failed an Afghan family in rural Missouri:

The Afghan Teen Who Survived the Taliban but Not U.S. Resettlement

When Kabul fell, Biden promised to rescue Afghan allies. For 14-year-old Rezwan Kohistani and his family, that meant being sent to a remote Missouri town where no other Afghans lived. “We’d been left alone,” said Rezwan’s father.

Marjorie Taylor Greene: Democrats need to learn about sarcasm. They should find books about it with their Jewey Decimal System.

Let’s be clear. There’s no “war on Christmas” and no one is trying to ban saying “merry Christmas.”
Case in point. I'm Muslim. It doesn't offend me when people wish me Merry Christmas. Offensive is when MAGA politicians brandish weapons of war while kids are shot dead in school and claim that's the Christmas spirit.

If you don't get why that's a problem, y'all need Jesus, and common sense.

@charlie_savage Alito is disgusting. This is how the privileged get away with saying reprehensible things — by acting like the are being playfully and wittily transgressive when in fact the are just being racist, antisemitic, and misogynistic. Alito could have made the same substantive points without using such hypotheticals.

Katie Hobbs is officially Arizona's governor-elect and Kari Lake is officially a very sore loser.

In Texas an Sri Lanken-American named Rajan Moonsinghe got a gun to protect his home. Suspecting a burglar he stood on his front porch. Cops arrived unannounced & shot him dead in less than 1 sec. And the NRA is silent. This is a trend.

Before Rajan, when cops killed Tamir Rice for a toy gun in an open carry state—NRA was 🤐. When cops killed legal gun owner Philando Castille, NRA was 🤐. But when Rittenhouse killed 2 people, NRA called him " a warrior for gun owners!”

2A doesn't apply to BIPOC.
