The threats are horrifying. The vulnerability of the federal judges targeted is stunning. And the system the US Marshals Service is using to track them is inadequate. https://t.co/ntbN8dwa7p

A new BGov analysis shows $387B of federal real estate—more than the GDP of Hong Kong—is at imminent risk of flooding. What’s being done about it? In many cases, not that much. With Paul Murphy, @atthar_mirza, and @Meltzer__.

خیزش ضددولتی در ایران همراه با چرخههای کشتار و سوگواری بوده است. با افزایش کشتهها، تشیعجنازههابدل به نوعی از اعتراض شدهاند. ما ۱۸ مورد از خشونت دولتی در رویدادهای سوگواری را تحلیل کردیم و متوجه الگویی از سرکوب مرگبار شدیم #MahsaAmini #مهسا_امینی https://t.co/Xt7DjhirQO

Important work by my colleagues @ntabrizy @atthar_mirza @BabakDehghan, revealing how the Iranian state violently targets funerals for its crackdown on dissent
washingtonpost.com
Funerals for protesters killed during Iran’s uprising have become a form of protest, as well as another grim venue for the state’s violent crackdown.

Iran’s anti-government uprising has been marked by cycles of killing and mourning. As deaths pile up, funerals have become their own form of protest. We analyzed 18 cases of state violence at mourning events show a pattern of a fatal crackdown https://t.co/SEmJ0SoeVY

There were so many others involved in this project, from contributing reporters to designers and editors. The @washingtonpost truly collaborated across the newsroom to bring this story together.

Then, @PiroUnify – with art direction from @canalesgraphics and guidance from @chiquiesteban – digitally modeled their wounds, successfully walking the line between accuracy and a respectful portrayal of the victims. See the final animations here: https://t.co/hO689ePs5h

With delicate and empathetic reporting, @n_kirkpatrick reached out to families asking consent to use their children's stories in our project. @peterwallsten, @WendyGalietta, @AnnGerhart, @mateagold and @SallyBuzbee were invaluable in their support of this pursuit.

From the beginning, @n_kirkpatrick and I knew that this type of coverage was missing a visual examination of real gun violence victims, and we worked hard to include their stories. Read more about that decision here:

The project involved months of combing through autopsy reports, filing FOIA requests (shout out to @jonswaine), listening to medical examiner testimony, talking to medical and firearm experts, and collaborating with colleagues also working on the series. https://t.co/mILL4rRXfl

It was a big responsibility and honor to report on "The Blast Effect" alongside @n_kirkpatrick, featuring animations from @PiroUnify and @canalesgraphics. Seeing the national discussion our story is helping catalyze has been amazing. Read it here: https://t.co/hO689ePs5h

As trauma surgeons, ACS Fellows @josephsakran and @saranimd see firsthand the devastating impacts that weapons like AR-15s can cause. This Washington Post feature gives readers a greater understanding of the damage AR-15s can inflict on the human body. Viewer discretion advised.
“It literally can pulverize bones … it can provide this blast effect.” The AR-15 is the weapon of choice for many mass killers. The Post sought to illustrate the lethal force of the weapon and show in detail its catastrophic effects. https://t.co/0JCZbk7yKm

The parents of two children who died by AR-15 gunfire consented to having The Post visually reconstruct what the bullets did to their bodies. A spokesman for the family of Peter Wang, a Parkland victim, said the "parents want people to know the truth"

The Washington Post examined autopsy and postmortem reports from nearly a hundred victims of past mass shootings that involved an AR-15 style rifle.

Journalists have long debated how to illustrate the immense damage caused by high-velocity rounds fired from AR-15s. This piece accomplishes that in a way no story has before. From @n_kirkpatrick, @atthar_mirza & @canalesgraphics: https://t.co/24jwuBPZRW
