    My latest for @AP. As Alaskan salmon numbers plummet to never before seen lows, the subsistence, tribal communities on the Yukon River have just months to find a replacement for about half their winter food supply. apnews.com/article/climat…

    All politics aside. A little girl in a birthday crown laying on the ground with her hands up is exactly how you radicalize a generation of Americans to hate the police.

    While leaving the U.S. Capitol tonight I watched a dozen cops and reporter @ChadPergram sprint past me down Constitution Ave. Obviously I followed assuming something very bad had just happened Ended up being kind of wholesome though

    A Proud Boy beats an anti-fascist counter protester after swarming his truck truck on August 22, 2021 in Portland, Oregon. Proud Boys and other far-right extremists fought with anti-fascist activists in Portland on the anniversary of a similar fight in 2020. For @GettyImages

    Not cleanest photo, but here's a scary moment from last night when a federal officer pulled his sidearm on the crowd after they "de-arrested" a fellow protester. This was the first time I've seen a live weapon pulled in response to a crowd action. Shot for @GettyImages

    Absolutely incredible images from @oliscarff today. A member of Team USA rescues Anita Alvarez from the bottom of the pool after Alvarez fainted during her solo free artistic swimming routine at the Budapest 2022 World Aquatics Championships

    For those asking about new data. Here's an Institute for Justice report on it. (Same org that gave WashPo the data for the original graphic).

    Policing for Profit 4 - Institute for Justice
    This fourth edition of IJ’s Policing for Profit report finds civil forfeiture is a massive unjustified threat to property and due process rights.

    I'm out of downtown. I'm ok, thank you to everyone who reached out. I wish I could say I was shocked by what I photographed tonight, but honestly I'm surprised it took this long.
