One of the most impt stories to come out of Syria, a must read. The Assad regime may be gone but its impact is not. An inside look at one of its most notorious prisons and our collective failure to stop the crimes that happened there. By @jmalsin and co.

I am deeply proud to call @MoiseNoise a friend and colleague. No journalist wants to be the story. She was brave enough to do what we so often ask of our sources: to share painful, personal experiences—and to put her name behind it.
What happened to me was deeply private, and I HATE talking about it. I only shared it publicly in hopes that it might help someone. The hardest part of this experience has been learning how many other women he hurt after me, in almost the exact same way. 1/5

My wife, Emily Glazer, just won the Pulitzer Prize. I’ve known this was going to happen since the day I met her. She is the best reporter in America and she’s also the best person I’ve ever met and an elite mom–here’s our son Teddy celebrating in the WSJ newsroom right now.
