Over the past year, I’ve been tracing the origin of #StopTheSteal. Turns out, it was kicked off by a single tweet. What one viral video taught me about misinformation and threats to democracy, for @reveal and @MotherJones:

Significant police reform legislation became law in California today.
BREAKING: @GavinNewsom signs #SB2 to create a process to decertify police officers for serious misconduct. Before, California was one of only four states that didn't have this power.

Stop the Steal started years before the Capitol insurrection. Listen to this week’s @Reveal to hear my investigation into the origin story you didn’t know you didn’t know.

This is an incredible opportunity for anybody getting into audio. @BrendanPBaker is a legend, his REAPER configurations are 🤯, and it’s wildly generous that he’s doing this for free.
one of the best sound designers in radio @BrendanPBaker is offering FREE tutorials over zoom to learn how to use REAPER which is a software like Pro Tools (but waayyy cheaper and arguably better) that people use to mix podcasts and music. sign up here:.

This *is* a big deal, and not just symbolically. To understand why, listen to this @reveal hour, from the first time the federal government said it would shut these prisons down:
No one should be profiteering off of our criminal justice system. That’s why today, I ordered the Department of Justice to end the use of private prisons by the federal government.

Last summer, @reveal did a deeply reported episode on how white supremacist extremism and the US government response changed under Trump. This week, we've brought it back. With timely updates from @DavidNeiwert and @HomelandDems Chair @BennieGThompson .

RT @priskaneely: Made this show with @stan_alcorn and @DavidNeiwert last summer. Sadly, it’s now more relevant than ever. .

what's surprising isn't that people tried to storm the Capitol Building; it's that they succeeded.
THREAD:. NCRI is finding evidence of planning behind the recent storming of the Capitol Building. Evidence includes this image, found on Facebook in groups with over 150k followers, the Trump Train in late Dec. Posts were also detected on Twitter and 8chan.

This is awful news. And a beautiful tribute.
KUNM is heartbroken to say that News Director Hannah Colton died earlier this week at age 29. The loss is great for KUNM, and huge for the world. We lost a real warrior for truth. We lost a lovely and talented friend. We miss her so much already.

I did a story about why this domestic terrorism report is so important, just before it was supposed to come out (at 36:18): When I asked if it would be released on schedule, the FBI referred me to the DNI, who referred me back to the FBI.
NEW: the FBI is legally required to produce a public report on white supremacist and other domestic terrorism. They’re 4 months late and counting, and no one thinks this is coming before the election.

Last night California legislators failed to pass the police reform bill (#SB731) that would make it the 46th state with the power to decertify problem officers

The “hallmark” police reform bill (#SB731) would give the state the power to decertify problem officers. (California is currently one of just five states that do *not* have that power.).

Today is the last day for California to legislate police reform:.
