I also want to offer a special thanks to my long time friend and former colleague @jaackrodgers.bsky.social. He introduced me to the amazing people at AHPSS and without him, this story wouldn't have happened.

So grateful for friends who are always looking to tell important stories.
NEW: This is a story that took months to pull together and broke my heart a million times writing it.
But this isnt a sad story.
This is about courage, compassion and survival. And the herculean efforts of a group of people who refuse to lay down and die.

This is the incredible work of months of interviews and research by @brandibuchman.bsky.social, the AHPSS team who risk their own health to bring water to those who need it most, & who won’t stop until the South Sudanese have the life we all should be able to live.

NEW: I interviewed @katmabu.bsky.social for HuffPost.

We talked about free speech, ICE, political prosecution, the Trump administration’s attack on immigrants, fascists, Democrats, and yes, a bit about the indictment, too.

I hope you will read:

Still no consumer AI use case that has materially improved my life, but glad to hear they have invented and instituted the AI Boot Deepthroat Machine.
Law360 is requiring all stories pass through an AI "bias indicator" before publication.

The new policy came weeks after an executive from its parent company, LexisNexis, accused the newsroom of liberal bias in its Trump admin coverage. My latest for @niemanlab.org

Good morning from the National Mall. Here’s one of my favorite views of the Capitol.

I’m going to take some more photos today, mostly of the demonstrations in response to Trump’s military parade, and maybe do some man on the streets. More TK
