1/ NEW EPISODE: As Trump speeds up #oilandgas drilling on #publiclands, Native American artifacts- scattered all over large swaths of land in Utah - are at risk of being destroyed. ow.ly/B9Zn30kYF1x
2/ It all started last spring with Trump’s executive order pushing for America’s energy dominance: bit.ly/2HrsYn1

@jennoldham & @LeighSPaterson traveled to a remote corner of Utah to find out what this policy actually means on the ground.
@jennoldham @LeighSPaterson 3/ #NativeAmerican artifacts are everywhere in SE #Utah. After a long drive down a dirt road, @jennoldham & @LeighSPaterson stumbled across these ancient carvings and the remains of a wall.
@jennoldham @LeighSPaterson 4/ Native American filmmaker Angelo Baca explains why places like this are significant & should be protected:

“Why is the art on the Sistine Chapel significant? The same thing applies for us. It’s important because its part of our past."
@jennoldham @LeighSPaterson 5/ But #oilandgas in this area is moving ahead anyway. Our investigation shows some science was ignored in the @BLM leasing process, like estimates of the number and density of artifacts. bit.ly/2GbHkYY
@jennoldham @LeighSPaterson @BLM 6/ @BLMUtah’s response to concerns about drilling destroying Native American artifacts: the leasing process here was among the most thorough ever. They say drilling can be done safely.
@jennoldham @LeighSPaterson @BLM @BLMUtah 7/ So is there a risk or not? That depends on your perspective because #publiclands are supposed to be multi-use: grazing, hiking, fishing, mining, etc. This is federal law.
@jennoldham @LeighSPaterson @BLM @BLMUtah 8/ Filmmaker Angelo Baca says recent #energy controversies- #DAPL #BearsEars and now this #Utah lease sale- are bringing #NativeAmerican ppl together:

"We are finally asserting our tribal sovereignty & becoming more autonomous & more independent in protecting our lands."

1/ NEW: Every year, three-quarters of America’s domesticated honeybees are trucked into California for the state’s almond harvest.

It’s the world’s largest annual managed pollination event.

It has also created a thriving market for thieves. revealnews.org/article/califo…
2/ Almond growers need two honeybee colonies per acre during the height of pollination season. And California’s total almond acreage has nearly tripled in the past 20 years, a spike due in large part to foreign demand. bls.gov/opub/btn/volum…
3/ Hives have never been more valuable. The average seasonal rental price for one is $185, and that number is only expected to climb in the coming years. For beekeepers with thousands of hives, it can be quite a payday.

1/ Ahead of today’s #KavanaughHearings, some, including @realdonaldtrump, asked why Dr. Christine Blasey Ford didn’t report her experience sooner.

There are a lot of reasons victims of sexual abuse don’t immediately speak up. And a lot of reporting on the subject, too.
2/ First: Context. 1 in 10 adults – 24 million people – were sexually abused before they reached 18. Yet less than 40 percent of children who are sexually abused tell anyone. And a fraction of those cases end up being reported to authorities.

revealnews.org/article/tennes…
3/ Reporter @tennesseejane has firsthand experience with this. It took her decades to tell police that her gymnastics coach sexually abused her as a child.

Her story is at the center of this August 2016 episode:

1/ Last year, hundreds of people were sickened by an E. coli outbreak after eating lettuce grown in Arizona. 27 suffered kidney failure. Five died.

Six months before that, Trump’s FDA had shelved rules designed to prevent this very sort of incident. revealnews.org/article/5-peop…
2/ William Whitt escaped with his life. But his sickness was harrowing. He suffered days of diarrhea and vomited blood. His body swelled like a balloon. He was given painkillers every 10 minutes.
3/ The culprit? Salad.

It turns out that leafy greens are particularly vulnerable to bacteria. And a gaping hole in the U.S. food safety system contributes to the problem. Produce growers don’t have to test the water they use on their crops.

Do yourself a favor and check out their stories.
3/ The @washingtonpost was dogged in its reporting on links between the Russian government and Trump officials. awards.journalists.org/entries/hackin…

1/ New with @marshallproj and @USAToday: In several states, crime victims can seek compensation from a public fund. But states reserve the right to deny some requests. And in Ohio and Florida, black people were banned disproportionately. revealnews.org/article/the-vi…
2/ Here’s how it works. “Victim compensation funds,” as they’re called, are designed to help crime victims pay for things like loved ones’ funerals.

But in some states, you can’t get access to the money if you have a criminal conviction.
3/ In Ohio, where the rules are particularly stringent, you can be denied for even being *suspected* of one. And unlike in other states, a denial can stem from a juvenile crime. Those records are usually expunged.

1/ Crashed squad cars. Naps on the job. Big paychecks.

Welcome to the El Paso Police Department’s dangerous overtime habit.
revealnews.org/article/office…
2/ Reveal Investigative Fellow @ElidaSPerezEPT, of @elpasotimes, analyzed five years’ worth of overtime records.

She found more than 450 cases in which officers worked at least 16 hours a day. And that was just among the top 10 earners.
3/ Researchers say no officer should work more than 12 hours a day, much less 16.

It can lead to things like:

* poor decision-making.
* greater risk of car accidents.
* a weakened ability to de-escalate volatile encounters.
