“This is not a small test. It is used in the diagnosis of lung disease. It is used for job hiring. It is used for disability assignments.”
This medical test has origins that can be traced to the days of slavery. Why is it still being used today? revealnews.org/podcast/race-…

This medical test has origins that can be traced to the days of slavery. Despite this, it’s still being used on Black patients today.
This week on Reveal, we team up with @NEJM to explore why: revealnews.org/podcast/race-…

We made more than 100 cold calls. Each one began the same way: “You’ve been targeted by government-grade surveillance tech.” In our @LHreports collab with @reveal you can hear the voices on the other end revealnews.org/podcast/cellp…
Michael Montgomery retweeted
This technology has been used to track heads of state, business leaders, journalists, and maybe even you. @LHreports uncovered a vast surveillance empire whose untraceable tech has been used to target people in more than 100 countries, including the US. It has operated under the radar for decades. Until now.

EXCLUSIVE: Our friends at @LHreports obtained a secret data trove.
It revealed a vast global surveillance empire whose tech has been used to target politicians, journalists, tech execs, and Jared Leto.

AI models from @Microsoft & @OpenAI were used by #Israel @IDF to help choose bombing targets in #Gaza and #Lebanon, an @AP investigation finds. It’s one of the first times commercial #AI has been used in warfare. My latest with @sammednick @garanceburke apnews.com/article/israel-pa…

Tommy Olsen runs a hotline for people trying to reach Greece from Turkey; he’s now a wanted man.
