"This is a story about just that—what God thinks. It’s also a story of identity and exposure, of revenge and public humiliation. Of deep love and senseless loss, and the unending grief of a small town." Mark Warren, @Esquire #longreads esquire.com/news-politics/…

1/ Today we began to roll out an incredible 2.5 year project with Reveal and The Center for Public Integrity. We found 1250 formerly enslaved people who WERE given the 40 Acres Gen Sherman promised them, only to have it seized back after Lincoln was killed motherjones.com/politics/2024/…

It’s been a few months since this profound piece by Mark Warren was published. Esquire Please consider removing paywall. This story is important to deepen public understanding + preserve this tragic account. To Bubba’s son Carter - peace and gratitude to you for what you shared.

Creative joy is critical. So excited to support Chicago filmmakers Erisa Apantaku + Jenny Casas. Check out Nya Does Nothing and consider joining the coolest community of contributors to this short film! seedandspark.com/fund/nya-does-…

NEW in Chicago Reader from reporters Erisa Apantaku, Andrew Fan, Dana Brozost-Kelleher, Maheen Khan & isra rani: explore misconduct allegations against Chicago Police involved in 2020 protests - cops who, despite being accused of serious misconduct, may be at DNC protests. chicagoreader.com/news-politics/…

NEW w/ Max Blaisdell: Cook County prosecutors' Brady lists are supposed to include—at least—all officers who have sustained findings of dishonesty. We found 100+ officers from Chicago PD alone missing from their lists—including at least 15 still active. chicagoreader.com/news-politics/…

NEW: The "wandering cop" problem in St. Louis was so acute by the '80s that it prompted a local law professor to make his life's work stopping it from occurring across the U.S. Missouri now blocks the release of data showing who its "wandering cops" are. gatewayjr.org/missouri-is-ho…

Very excited to publicly share this project that I’ve worked on over the last two years, but really since the beginning of my time with Invisible Institute: a database showing who officers are and where they work in (currently) 17 states across the country. Explore: national.cpdp.co

I also want to thank chaclyn hunt, Andrew Fan, and Maira for their encouragement in developing this project at Invisible Institute, and Jamie Kalven for creating the space for this work to happen. My growth as a reporter at II would also not have been possible without Alison Flowers.
