I really think people should be paying for journalism but I’m having a hard time stomaching the past 24 hours of editorial decisions by @nytimes.com.

My friend Sam has cancer—Stage IV melanoma. He was diagnosed while we were working together on the biggest story of our careers. I've watched him navigate it with grace and hope, despite the odds.
We've all asked what kind of a god allows for cancer. I'll add this: What kind of government does too?

As a journalist, I don't like the idea of journalism outlets being sued. But this isn't journalism, it's libel. There's absolutely a reckless disregard for the truth happening here.

When @longlead.com produced LONG SHADOW: BREAKING THE INTERNET this year, we struggled with where to end the season. I love the final note @vermontgmg.bsky.social ended it on, but the fight over reality rages on, especially in Portland.

Home to nearly 22 million people, the Mexico City megapolis is literally sinking under the weight of its own ambition and growth. And as lakes dried up, reservoirs drained low, and taps ran dry, the people who rely on them are suffering by ingesting water that’s not fit for consumption.

In 2014, @magnumphotos.bsky.social's Jérôme Sessini traveled there in 2014 to photograph the city's floating gardens. He returned in 2024 and documented the Mexican capital’s diminished drinking water supply, fixing his lens on the people impacted most by this arid new reality.

The survivor testimonials Morgan collected in THE AGE OF INCARCERATION achieved a near-impossible feat in this moment of American darkness: They've given a voice to the unreachable, the current detainees.

In late 2023, Morgan Lieberman began interviewing and photographing the elderly survivors of World War II's Japanese American incarceration. She also visited and photographed the far-flung sites of their detention: Manzanar, Heart Mountain, and Poston — spaces they were forced to call home.

THE AGE OF INCARCERATION is one of the most impactful pieces we've produced at @longlead.com. A heartbreaking collection of interviews and portraits, it documents what life was life for Japanese Americans during and after their unjust incarceration.

There are already lots of golden arches in DC. I don't see why this is necessary. The ones that exist even give you hamburders.
