In late 2020 a Chinese man called Guan Heng travelled to Xinjiang with our BuzzFeed map of detention facilities to provide ground truth for our work - he provided the first corroborating evidence for many sites.

He escaped to the US - then ICE detained him.

Heng Guan is awaiting an immigration hearing on Monday that could lead to his removal from the U.S. and ultimately land him back in China, according to his lawyer and a New York-based activist group.

Now normally I would not dare besmirch the legacy of a proud patriarch such as yourself, especially during a season of giving so pockmarked by mourning.

But nonetheless I have begun to question whether the death of dear Grandma may in fact be more than the random Yuletide calamity it appears to be.

It's simple — @propublica.org workers should not be replaced by artificial intelligence. Our contract proposal specifically says that generative artificial intelligence ("GAI") should not be used to replace employees. Management struck out this entire section in their response to our proposal.

This is my favorite piece on the Zero Units, the Afghan locals who actually fought the war under the direction of the CIA.

Seeing how much of the right-wing on Twitter is just bot farms, kinda lays bare how much hate and hatred is a project that needs to be constantly maintained, a fire that needs to be fed all the time lest it go out for a moment, so much time, effort, and resources to keep people angry and hateful.

If you want or need SNAP benefits, literally the only barrier should be...signing up.
