"...a male correspondent was initially included on the layoff list but was removed after he appealed directly to the new editor-in-chief, Bari Weiss, leading to another female correspondent being added to the list at the last minute."

Trees can do a lot for Denverites, but I found disparities in where they're planted. I dug into five years of data for The Local Colorado. A third of new tress went to low canopy areas. youtu.be/IkBUsMmqXQU?...

surely just a coincidence.

This is so incredibly short-sighted and a bad move. These verticals built trust and credibility for a major news org.

Journalism is not a crime! I'm proud of the news organizations standing up to this.

ICE just arrested a singing giraffe in Portland.

here’s more context to the videos DHS is putting out from Chicago.

This records denial has maddened me for years and I'm eager for the state Supreme Court to make the logical ruling. I was part of the team that filed this request. There is no way that getting the number of calls at a facility would somehow identify children. coloradosun.com/2025/09/23/c...

Pulling Kimmel off the air in response to pressure from the FCC is pure authoritarianism and alarming

I never thought that taping the sole of your boot could lead to being stranded for a week in the backcountry but here we are. Listen to your gut - whenever I'm doing something possibly sketchy in nature and I hear my mom's voice in my head, I back off. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/20/w...

It’s up to the discretion of RFK Jr to define what ”medically frail” is when it comes to potential Medicaid work requirement exemptions—which may play a huge role in deciding which chronically ill and disabled people could qualify. My latest for @motherjones.com. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Definitely going to pull inspiration from these names for some DND characters

A United States Senate investigation has identified more than 500 credible reports of human rights abuses in US immigration detention since January, including alarming allegations of mistreatment of pregnant women and children.

I love that the reporter tried to refuse even when they thought it was just a bag of chips "Honan, thinking it was an offer of a light snack, told Greco more than once she could not accept the chips, but Greco insisted that she keep them."

Days after several sick and injured children arrived in the U.S. from Gaza for medical treatment, the State Department halted a program that grants visitor visas to people from Gaza.

Kratom products are sold at gas stations across the country. But they can be highly addictive — and getting hooked can have devastating consequences. bit.ly/47oMpvk

New @motherjones.com: Is the FDA about to keep pregnant women from taking antidepressants? Yesterday they quietly convened a panel whose participants suggested that women just feel emotions more deeply than men & that SSRIs cause autism (false). Meanwhile, mothers' mental health is plummeting.

incredible marketing: “I just feel like everyone needs sandwiches,” he said, adding, “sandwiches will save us all.” www.denverpost.com/2025/07/23/t...

Hearing from UFW spokesperson just now that this man has died.

This is one of the most haunting and heartbreaking firsthand accounts of the Texas flooding that I’ve read. Proceed with caution, it really puts you there. www.texasmonthly.com/news-politic...

I am ecstatic to share that I have received a seed grant from the Fund for Investigative Journalism to pursue an investigative project digging into first responders in Colorado. I am grateful to be able put my time towards this necessary story. Let's get to work!

How journalism is finally confronting its mental health crisis: A photographer's month in a Lebanese jail, a veteran reporter's refusal to cover a child killing, and CNN's chief correspondent's plea for honesty - the media industry is addressing the psychological toll of storytelling

Medicaid has filled the gaps left by employer-based insurance, especially for low-wage or blue collar workers. I edited this fascinating piece published in @theconversation.com today. theconversation.com/employers-ar...

This is an alarming capitulation. It erodes press freedoms and trust that journalist won't bow to pressure from the powerful. Paramount should have fought this baseless lawsuit. This is a time to stand up for the truth, not kiss the ring. www.cjr.org/news/paramou...

NEW: Thousands of Coloradans will likely lose health insurance if lawmakers cut Medicaid with pending legislation I dove into this for Collective Colorado and found out why hundreds of clinics are particularly vulnerable to cuts. #colorado #journalism collective.coloradotrust.org/stories/thou...

I love everything about this - the fan-fueled change, the fact that they change their name on Wednesdays for "Hump Day" and that the person with the idea got to throw out the first pitch www.cpr.org/2025/06/25/m...

There's a lot to doomscroll. I get it. As someone who stayed up until 3am last night, I promise that doomscrolling for several hours will not make you feel better. You still deserve time to rest and recover. And if possible, try to log out of this app for several hours.

In a risky, escalatory move, Trump bombed 3 Iranian nuclear sites—including Fordow. This comes in spite of US Intel finding Iran is not within imminent reach of a nuclear weapon. Iran’s proxies could retaliate against US bases in the region. This is dangerously destabilizing.

Awful: Trump just threatened to send troops into other cities. The conundrum is this: Faced with a president whose bad faith/willingness to invent fake pretexts for abusing his powers is limitless, the system is crashing, pushing us toward the abyss. New from me: newrepublic.com/article/1970...

Masked ICE agents grabbed a man at Denver's federal immigration court and pushed him into a women’s bathroom, throwing his partner to the floor, a witness tells @samtabachnik.bsky.social. Agents detained the man “very roughly, very violently” as their child watched in tears, the witness says

Such a powerful and helpful panel on managing stress and burnout at #IRE25! Thank you to the panelists and to @gonzalomagana.bsky.social and the @ire.org management subcommittee for organizing this!

One thing we didn’t get into too much on our working with sensitive sources is how to protect your own mental health. So this might be a good sequel to this morning’s panel! #IRE25

This session is coming up soon! #IRE25

Learning to take care of my mental health after going through Trauma in the field was a lot like riding a bucking raptor - weird but I eventually figured it out I really hope you come to our session on managing stress, #IRE25. We’re going to share actionable tips and you can see my sick socks 🦖🕵🏻‍♂️

Raccoons are normally cute but I will never forget having to take turns fending off raccoons in the Missouri wilderness while others cooked dinner during a camping trip All of the glowing eyes were horrifying And the next morning, little footprints were near the car doors as they tried to break in

It’s been such a blast to be back at #IRE25!

How will American journalism continue to be funded? Social media is where people get their news and 71% said they won't pay for it. “Our data continue to show that the vast majority of audiences remain unwilling to pay for online news,” the report’s authors wrote. www.niemanlab.org/2025/06/for-...
