(1/8) In March @tiefenthaler, @heytherehaley and I began jotting down reports of destruction at cultural sites in Ukraine. As the year comes to a close, our count is at 339. Along with NYT culture critic @jsf, we took a closer look at four locations. Read: nyti.ms/3I7QE27

1/13 After Russia invaded Ukraine in February, my colleagues @sskerrr @heytherehaley and I spent most of our waking hours combing through social media and verifying footage to assess what was happening on the ground. (Here is @sskerrr in our improvised office in Berlin in April.)
this is scary
I can't overstate how serious the storm surge threat is in southwest Florida. #Ian will drive deadly surge into Cape Coral and Fort Myers, placing much of the area under water. If you live near the ocean in a surge zone, this is your last chance to leave...

Since Roe was overturned, new state restrictions on abortions and ensuing legal challenges have created a confusing and evolving landscape for maternal health care providers. @natabrizy and I spoke to Ob-Gyns to understand the impact. @nytvideo VIDEO: bit.ly/3QRrB45 1/6

As students return to school, the debate over what they learn about U.S. history is intensifying. A growing number of politicians, school boards and parents want to restrict dialogue around race and discrimination.Teachers are caught in the middle. nyti.ms/3CfSw5G 1/7

Our @nytvideo team went to Estonia to interview a dozen Ukrainian refugees who survived the siege of Mariupol & were then forced to resettle in Russia. Hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians have been forcibly removed & pressured to take Russian citizenship.

We cannot become numb to this kind of violence. A stunningly beautiful, and heartbreaking profile of GuiYing Ma - taken from this world too soon. nyti.ms/36Gbg0Y written by @corinaknoll
Hearing these folks talk about their perception of the war in Ukraine is both saddening and scary. A powerful portrait of the reach of Russia's disinformation and propaganda.
I travelled to Transnistria for @nytvideo to find out how Russian disinformation warps people’s view of the war in Ukraine. This is what Ukraine is up against. Thank you @UMWallaceHouse for supporting this project. Beautifully shot by @ekrhyne nytimes.com/video/world/1000…

"If a full-scale war breaks out tomorrow in Ukraine, there will be tens if not hundreds of thousands of volunteers, just like me."

We spent months investigating what happened on the streets of Kenosha when openly armed men arrived at protests against systemic racism.
How did two people get killed?
The answer is much more complicated than you think -- & reveals just how deeply divided America is.
Kyle Rittenhouse will stand trial on murder charges next week for shootings in Kenosha, Wis., on Aug. 25, 2020. We reconstructed that day to understand how events unfolded and what set the scene for violence.
