In case you need a reminder why speaking up matters, here's another example of the changes that are possible when sources got on record. If you or someone you know is interested in speaking to reporters, I am happy to walk you through what to expect! www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

I have midterms next week. Please pray for me.

Thinking of the 3 divas that managed to convince their editor to do an astrology explainer ✨💅🏽 www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

“If you’re pushing slop or eating it, you wouldn’t read it anyway. You’d ask a bot for a summary and forget what it told you, then proceed with your day, unchanged by words you did not read and ideas you did not consider.”

I considered writing a long carefully constructed argument laying out the harms and limitations of AI, but instead I wrote about being a hater. Only humans can be haters.

Excited to welcome the new class of Bagehots to @columbiajournalism.bsky.social this week! @amandaaronczyk.bsky.social @bykylecampbell.bsky.social @esmyjimenez.bsky.social @mcglinchyreports.bsky.social @robaeprice.bsky.social @suziecavanaugh @alexjanin @nathanrubbelke @stellayifanxie

Congress has decided to claw back previously approved funding for public media. This decision hurts people in communities across the country, but it has only strengthened our resolve to keep Americans informed and connected. (1/2)

It is 2025 and Georgia is still not enforcing mental health parity laws (aka making insurance companies pay for mental health treatment). To be clear, federal parity laws first passed in 2008. Story via @mlbaruchman.bsky.social www.ajc.com/politics/202...

Just finished reading Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow and y'all it's brilliant. 12/10

Finally started ‘Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow’ and I’m obsessed!! Any other gems out there I should add to my summer reading list?

For a week, myself and @bostonglobe.com reporters traveled throughout Mass. to learn how ICE arrests were impacting local families. Here's what we found www.bostonglobe.com/2025/07/02/m...

In Mass., ICE and other federal agents arrested more people in May than in any other month on record as part of President Trump’s immigration policy. To understand the impact, the Globe spent seven days reporting from immigrant communities.

Salvadoran journalist Mario Guevara is currently in Immigration and Customs Enforcement custody. The Committee to Protect Journalists warns his case represents an "erosion" of freedom of speech.

We obtained lists of alleged gang members used by Venezuelan law enforcement and Interpol. Those lists include some 1,400 names. None of the names of the 238 Venezuelan deportees matched those on the lists. W/ @texastribune.org @cazadoresdefakenews.info, Alianza Rebelde Investiga

With the L.A. protests, I've been thinking a lot about the summer of 2020. History is often cyclical and we'll see in the coming days what the news industry took from that moment. Threading some June 2020 @niemanlab.org stories about protests and journalism that are definitely worth revisiting now:

Congratulations to Esmy Jimenez and Sydney Brownstone of The Seattle Times and KUOW Public Radio, our 2025 Livingston Award winners for National Reporting for the podcast “Lost Patients.” ℹ️ Read more https://loom.ly/PR5m2q4 #LivingstonAwards #nationalreporting

Globe journalism was never meant to be a permanent obstacle to someone’s success, with the worst decisions and moments in regular people’s lives accessible by a few keystrokes for the rest of time. Fresh Start aims to empower all people who want to start over.

"There are more folks willing to step up and support,” said Dálida Rocha with the LUCE Immigrant Justice Network of Massachusetts... “In a moment where the [Trump] administration was hoping for the community to be truly divided, it shows that we’re not.” www.bostonglobe.com/2025/05/21/m...

NEW: Juan Francisco Méndez, the Guatemalan man who was violently detained by ICE in New Bedford last month, may finally go free. A third judge set bail at $1500, the lowest amount possible, in the Chelmsford Immigration Court just now. More details on the way.

While Rümeysa Öztürk is due to be released, Juan Francisco Mendez, a New Bedford resident originally from Guatemala faces a prolonged detention. www.bostonglobe.com/2025/05/09/m...

“This was a month of injustice,” said Ondine Gálvez Sniffin, the lawyer for the family, adding that federal immigration officials never justified why they detained Juan Francisco Méndez. “Their silence is telling.” www.bostonglobe.com/2025/05/08/m...

NEW: In a surprising turn of events, Juan Francisco Mendez, the New Bedford man who was detained by ICE last month, may be released as early as today. Judge Ostrom agreed with his attorney that the federal government failed to prosecute and tossed out the case.

The Boston Globe was a finalist for three Pulitzer Prizes — for public service, editorial writing, and illustrated reporting and commentary — award organizers announced.
