Destroying the @InternetArchive's @WayBackMachine would be the equivalent of the burning of the Library of Alexandria - one of the worst losses of knowledge in history.
Media giants are now threatening to do this.
We can't let this happen.
Pass it on.

This past summer, @H_Lev and I published an episode of Reveal digging into why a bunch of hospitals all owned by one real estate company, Medical Properties Trust seemed to be struggling

“That’s not my signature ... It’s not even spelled correctly"
“I’m beyond angry"
“That sucks, whoever did that"
We found dozens of people who say they never signed petitions for Mayor Adams' independent bid ... but whose supposed signatures nevertheless appear on the docs

Coffee is the love language for two Gaza journalists Shrouq and Roshdi. But one morning at breakfast, their family life is torn apart. And the story of a 10-year-old girl with a magnetic smile who makes magic out of breadcrumbs on a rooftop. Listen now: bit.ly/4imhzpJ

Today journalists will go to work. We will do what we’ve been trained to do, to listen and ask questions. To try and make sense of thy is moment. I wish us safety and peace as we chronicle America’s story.

With @bmyeung & @msabcleek, our collab between two of my past homes, @UCBerkeleyIRP & @reveal, we tell the story of an adopted Northern Cheyenne baby and the families - and Native people - it divided. Thankful to all who helped us to tell this story. Please give a listen.
This week on Reveal: A leaked interview with a wealthy Utah politician describing how he adopted a Native child sparks outrage from the girl’s biological family that wanted to raise her themselves.

Jewish students in the encampment at Columbia:
23 Apr 2024
Spent the first night of Passover at the student seder in the Gaza solidarity encampment at Columbia.
The Jewish flank of the Palestine solidarity movement is growing and it is so beautiful to behold.
Judge for yourself how unsafe these Jewish students look.

Our team spent long hours reporting on and around Columbia’s campus on Thursday & Friday. I want to clear some stuff up. I didn’t see a single instance of violence or aggression on the lawn or at the student encampment. The student-led protest was peaceful and often very quiet…
