Alan Davidson’s bright red suitcase containing correspondence with Patience Gray and drafts of Honey from a Weed. Stored in a barn in Northumbria.
Spoke with @PodcastGreenRed about evidence that was either omitted from the Prairieland investigation, and crime scene reconstruction, or withheld until trial and that may feature in forthcoming appeals.

Tomorrow, DHS is slated to begin uprooting thousands of saguaro cacti on the Tohono O’odham Nation, marking the first step in what could become the Trump administration’s most contentious border wall battle yet.
The tribe is condemning the plans in the strongest possible terms.

As first reported by @adamfederman for @PDInvestigates and @highcountrynews in August hcn.org/articles/arctic-dril…
The Trump administration is handing Big Oil another free pass to exploit and destroy America's public lands.
This time, it's gutting environmental oversight in one of the most fragile ecosystems on the planet: the Western Arctic. 🧵

Actions exempt from NEPA under the proposed categorical exclusion for wintertime oil/gas exploration in the NPRA, a 23 million acre chunk of land on Alaska's North Slope. This will undoubtedly be challenged in court, which could complicate plans for drilling & seismic this winter
Categorical exclusion allowing industry to bypass NEPA to conduct wintertime oil/gas exploration activity in the NPRA--the largest chunk of federally managed land in the U.S.--publishes tomorrow.

Scoop: @Interior is preparing a new “categorical exclusion” that will speed up permitting for winter drilling activity in the NPRA, including seismic surveys and test wells. With @highcountrynews and @PDInvestigates.

From the Senate's new permitting bill. State's would be able to assume responsibility for implementing what is arguably the most important provision of the Endangered Species Act. This would be a massive change to the ESA, and will be *very* controversial.
Still getting records related to a 2012 FBI investigation of Tar Sands Blockade, a group of activists in Texas who were part of a tree sit on private property seeking to block the govt's use of eminent domain to build the KXL pipeline. FBI is releasing only 5/50 responsive pages.

For more than two months, I have been working on a truly horrific story about one of the gravest war crimes committed by the United States since Vietnam: The bombing of the Shajareh Tayyebeh school in Minab, Iran. It was one of the first targets struck in the opening hours of the war on February 28, 2026.
At least 156 people were killed in the U.S. cruise missile strikes—120 of them were children and 26 were teachers. We spoke to survivors, first responders, parents, doctors, teachers, psychologists, and other witnesses. Some of them had never before shared their experiences of that day.
It would be impossible to do justice to what happened in Minab that day with words alone. In more than 25 years in journalism and reporting on war, I do not believe I have reported on a more heinous single crime.

New: FBI in internal memo says it believes ShinyHunters may have stolen private data on all employees. Fears of longterm consequences of breach magnify as hackers threaten to leak everything online by end of Tuesday.

The truth at long last of a horrific CIA whitewash. Relentlessly reported here: theiceman.substack.com/p/the…
Findings in our Intercept story
--ballistics expert for Song’s defense team was not granted approval to meet w/defendant
--evidence that supports an alternative theory of what happened on July 4, 2025, withheld from defense until trial
--photographic evidence of bullet used...
And my earlier piece for @inthesetimesmag and @typeinvestigate on documents related to a 2018 FBI investigation of Antifa DFW that were not included in discovery. Agency has an additional 50 odd pages that they have not yet released.

New story out today with Sara Van Horn on evidence withheld or omitted from the Prairieland investigation, which supports an alternative theory of what happened that night. Big question is whether it will be included in the appeal. @theintercept
