Something worth mentioning since we're in the middle of our summer fundraising drive — this podcast, like everything on @propublica.org's site — is free! Currently we're running what we call "house ads" that help explain our nonprofit model — not ads to make $$$. For the public, not for profit.
🏁TOMORROW🏁 we're dropping a brand new episode of Paper Trail and here's where you can subscribe so it drops right into your feed first thing in the morning: www.propublica.org/series/paper...

One of the most devastating voices in this piece is the mother of a 15yo girl who disclosed that her father sexually abused her for years. The girl's mother said the OALC didn't help... yet she remains a member. Why? “Because I want to go to heaven.”

When my co-reporter Andy Mannix and I investigated a tip last year about child sexual abuse in an Old Apostolic Lutheran Church community in Minnesota, we had to ask — was this just an isolated incident? Today, Andy and @jeremykohler.bsky.social have some answers: www.propublica.org/article/old-...
This was my first investigation at @propublica.org. No idea how the trial will shake out but just goes to show that these stories sometimes take on a life of their own: www.propublica.org/article/how-...
Three years ago, @sahanjournal.bsky.social reporter Joey Peters and I went looking for families who'd purchased homes using a contract for deed in MN. Almost no one would go on the record out of embarrassment or fear. That reporting has led up to a trial this week: sahanjournal.com/news/chad-ba...

A national system tracks serious bus crashes so regulators can keep roads safe. But the process fails to identify most of a major company’s fatal collisions, WBUR and ProPublica found.

Reporter Andy Mannix from the @startribune.com and I have been speaking to women all over the country about allegations of child sexual abuse in the Old Apostolic Lutheran Church. This is the story of how one perpetrator in Minnesota escaped consequences for years: www.propublica.org/article/sexu...
Minnesota real estate broker Chad Banken is on trial in Hennepin County for allegedly targeting Somali Muslim homebuyers with contracts for deed.
In Minnesota, leaders of an Old Apostolic Lutheran Church community enabled a child abuser by telling his victims that once the sins were “washed away in the blood of reconciliation,” they could never...
