National media will do some of this work, and of course the @washingtonpost has an extensive database, but the lack of local reporters to press local officials on this kind of stuff matters. So please support your local journalism outlet (especially public radio!). (8/8)

I’ll be watching for the data this summer (trying to get a specific date), but I’m also be interested in which agencies are participating, & why those that aren’t chose not to. Budget constraints? Just don't want to? Without local journos to ask these questions, who will? (7/8)

My latest story +THREAD. In 2019, the FBI started a database to track incidents like what happened to George Floyd, & said it would publish the data it at least twice a year. They told me Friday the FIRST batch of data is coming "this summer".(1/8) marketplace.org/2020/06/01/f…

"Farrow's book is about the corruption of media -- about interrelated corporations, law firms, Hollywood elites. Like George Carlin said, it's one big club, and you're not in it. NYT is angry at Farrow because he *chose* not to be in it." -- @gaslitnation patreon.com/posts/walter-dur…

Gotta wonder how many of these US economic “experts” have been able to go their whole careers without ever having to take a course or study the history US racial wealth inequality. It’s no wonder so many act as though poverty is either deserved or a policy accident. It’s neither.

The President of the United States is using the language of ethnic cleansing. If we allow him to continue, who would he use it on next?
Referring to Kurds living along Turkish border in Syria, Trump says of Turkey, "they had to have it cleaned out."
