We stopped calling it "women's work," but we never stopped making it women's work. Today, women across the world spend 17% of their time on these domestic, unpaid tasks. Men? About 7%.

📚 I'm happy to release free, online textbooks covering the two courses I taught at the hashtag#NICAR26 data journalism conference put on by Investigative Reporters and Editors last week in Indianapolis.
A whiteboard full of data journalism job postings standing on an easel in a hotel hallway.

Thank you for sharing these details from your process!

John Oliver (on right) gestures with his hands as he speaks. On left, a ProPublica headline from December 15, 2025 reads: “Trump Officials Celebrated With Cake After Slashing Aid. Then People Died of Cholera.” An article excerpt below says: "... turning rows red, yellow or green every few seconds, never asking a single question.”
1/ On yesterday’s @lastweektonight.com about USAID, John Oliver cited several of our investigations.
First up was our reporting about how DOGE operatives had arbitrarily cut aid programs, in some cases by literally clicking through a spreadsheet: propub.li/4cCsSKP

NEW: We just published a deep dive into just how much billionaires are now dominating U.S. politics.
We found 300 billionaire families accounted for 19% of federal donations in 2024. The deluge was even larger in many state and local races.

Black text on light pink background: “I am not free while any woman is unfree, even when her shackles are very different from my own. Audre Lorde.”
Happy International Women’s Day!
This video shows real smoke over Tehran from Israeli strikes on oil depots & fuel facilities last night—confirmed by NYT, AP, Al Jazeera, Times of Israel. Black clouds from burning hydrocarbons—not normal sunrise.
Incredible catch here.
Fox used footage from December 17, 2025, where Trump was not dressed in garish campaign swag.
