I am begging anyone who hasn’t read the 1941 novel “What Makes Sammy Run?” to drop everything. Definitely entertaining enough to read at the beach but also devastatingly prophetic. This is the last page of the afterword:
Jessica LussenhopReading "What Makes Sammy Run?" and I swear, it feels like I'm reading a novel about A.I. personified. You can just swap in "A.I." for the name "Sammy Glick"

Sometimes at @propublica.org, we try to answer a seemingly simple question and... hit a wall. But then we ask: why is this unanswerable and why does it have to be this way? First time I've seen it done this beautifully though! By @maxblau.bsky.social projects.propublica.org/blueberries-...
Do My Grocery Store Blueberries Come From Farms Where Workers Were Harmed?Max Blau spent a year reporting on abuses of farmworkers. It left him wondering: Is the produce he buys at the grocery store part of the problem?projects.propublica.orgA forest of red flags: "Ashley Brouillette told a reporter that she wanted to speak publicly because she had previously reported concerns to his superiors in the military about his mental health. She said he was abusive in their relationship." www.pressherald.com/2026/07/16/i...

Annie WaldmanAt this time, it's unclear how last year's changes might be impacting the current outbreak investigation. We @propublica.org want to hear from food safety experts as well as federal and state regulators about their work. You can reach me: annie.waldman@propublica.org, or Signal me (number in bio).

What We Uncovered About the Sexual Assault of Alice Sebold and a City’s Buried Rape CrisisProPublica spent years investigating the attack on the bestselling author and the wrongly convicted man who lost decades of his life. Here’s what we learned about the failures in the justice system — ...www.propublica.orgJessica Lussenhop"'What if I hadn’t reported my rape?' [Alice Sebold] said. 'None of this would have happened.'" <--- In a story full of chilling details, this is perhaps the worst one www.propublica.org/article/alic...
This thread is a really helpful reminder that seemingly unrelated foodborne illness outbreaks may be... less unrelated than you think
Annie WaldmanThousands of Americans are getting sick from a foodborne parasite, and federal regulators have still not publicly identified the source. So what's been happening in the federal government over the past year that might be a factor in this outbreak? 🧵⬇️
