For the last few months, I kept a document where every time I saw reports of fed immigration agents shooting or pointing their gun at someone, I made a note. The list grew and grew. It now includes 4 deaths. Here is what I noticed keeping that list. www.themarshallproject.org/2026/01/07/i...

Before ICE Shooting, Immigration Agents Repeatedly Used Deadly Force

The killing of a Minneapolis woman is latest by ICE and Border Patrol officers in recent months. Others have been wounded or threatened with guns.

Watching the @gothamfc.bsky.social match and saw a weather delay called there at our home stadium, caused by a sudden, apocalyptic thunderstorm.

www.kansascity.com/sports/socce... The culprit? As expected, the heat, with temperatures in KC well over 90 degrees.

Kansas City Current match delayed 3-plus hours by heat. Why was it scheduled?

Fans, players and coaches were left frustrated when a 3 p.m. KC Current match in August was delayed due to heat.

I have a hard time understanding how @nwslsoccer.com & @kansascitycurrent.bsky.social could not have come to this decision before 11,500 people packed into a stadium and players warmed up when we have been in a heat advisory for days. Your CBS slot is not worth risking safety!

Can confirm that multiple fans were treated for heat related illnesses at the match. bsky.app/profile/like...

Heard more than one person has been taken away in an ambulance today. Lack of player safety, lack of fan safety. A disaster

The A-Leagues learnt their lessons, and in the peak of summer games don't kick-off before 5pm local (New Zealand games the exception), and even then we still occasionally see heat delays or players competing in insane conditions. This needs to be fixed and fast.

A summer soccer league is going to face some serious questions as climate change progresses. Time to institute better policies and management to prevent this from happening again.

Most competitive league in the world (whether you like it or not)

Final score in Kansas City: 0-0 1 shot on target each. KC .75 xG to Orlando’s .15 And we all basically moved in for 8 hours at CPKC Stadium. #KCBaby #NWSL

Spent 3 hours at CPKC Stadium this afternoon in the broiling heat. After repeated weather delays, I finally had to take my party home about an hour before the @kansascitycurrent.bsky.social game eventually kicked off. Beautiful stadium. Can’t wait to watch a game there.

After following the entire Bell’s Hells and ExU sagas, I’m starting @criticalrole.bsky.social’s Campaign 2. Curious to meet these young characters I’ve only seen thus far much later in their lives. If you need me, I’ll be Wildemount.

After following @criticalrole.bsky.social’s campaign 3 from the outset, I’m now going back to start campaign 2. Is it worth it to go on this journey with the Mighty Nein?

Neil Barsky, founder of @themarshallproject.org, paid tribute to longtime contributor @tommyrobb.bsky.social, the late, great investigative reporter whose searing stories exposed abuse and injustice, especially in our prison system. www.themarshallproject.org/2025/05/29/t...

Remembering Tom Robbins, Veteran Reporter Who Exposed Attica Abuses

Our founder reflects on the legacy of the reporter who helped set the standard for The Marshall Project’s investigations into prison abuse.

Reading up on the new FIFA Women’s Champions Cup, not to be confused with the CONCACAF W Champion’s Cup. Gotham FC’s win in the latter last night earns it a berth in the former in January. They’ll face the South American champ with a path to possibly play Arsenal in the final.

GOTHAM FC ARE CONCACAF W CHAMPIONS

European Trophy. First in 41 years. Drink it in Spurs fans, drink it in 🍻

I’m sure I’m not the first person to ask this, but when can we get a Women’s US Open Cup?

This is amazing 😎😂 #coys

In my newsroom years, every time we built a resource it died. It’s not just that the teams don’t make them, but also that the organizations don’t understand how, or want to, maintain them. It doesn’t fit the model. The whole shop is set up to crank out *news*. The business is ephemeral by nature.

Thank you for pointing this out. Company culture can make or break the weird ones. We need to be accepted with kindness whether or not we save Christmas.

Wait… does… is it now technically Olympique Lyonnais Lyonnes? Olympique Lyonnais Féminin -> OL Lyonnes but the OL still means Olympique Lyonnais? Is this like ATM machine?

Huge props to my NICAR and PyCAR comrade @elainew.bsky.social for all of her work wrangling #PyConUS and her entertaining morning announcements. It must have been a massive undertaking, but as an attendee it was a great experience. Thank you for the invitation!

Also have to applaud @python.org and the community for really investing in bringing new people and experiences to #PyConUS. It can take a lot of intention and work to make a programming conference a welcoming space for everyone to be “good weird” together, and we all benefit.

Many thanks to @python.org for bringing us to speak about our work at @themarshallproject.org at #PyConUS! Everyone has been so generous, and I’ve had some great conversations. I also now have a long list of libraries and tools I learned about that I want to check out.

It's quite something to see a journalist who cut their teeth in Lawrence pre-Django talking about eventually learning to code, and then building out journalism tooling in Django. It's amazing seeing how much good has come out of one reasonably small newspaper. #PyConUS

While I’m in Pittsburgh, I had to get some py-rogi. I’ll see myself out.

Here is the great tip sheet that @geoffhing.bsky.social compiled of all the things we discussed in our #PyConUS keynote this morning, and more: is.gd/tmppyconus If you would like to get involved and meet more data journalists, please come to @ire.org’s #NICAR26 in March in Indianapolis!
