So 12 years ago Michael Morisy (@morisy) asked ATF via FOIA for "A copy of any pre- and post-mortem notes, presentations, guidelines, memos, and reports generated during recent tests of 3D printed plastic guns". And got nothing in return...

You can help ongoing research from @MuckRock investigating how US federal government is using AI for #FOI. It has found the CIA is “testing Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning tools to assist the review process.” Wonder if same is happening in UK? #assignment-responses" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">muckrock.com/assignment/is-…

NEW: an investigation nearly two years in the making. At least two dozen schools in Michigan serve students with severe behavioral disabilities. A Free Press analysis of nearly 8,000 emergency dispatch records show these schools are leaning on police. freep.com/story/news/edu…

For 5 months, the Cal AG fought to hide the names of 8 deputies at the center of a case against a DA advisor tasked w/helping keep a list of problem cops. Using gaps in redactions & sheer tenacity, @eedugdale & I ID'd 7 of them. Here's how we did it. latimes.com/california/sto…
