The news has moved on, but ICE is still in Minneapolis. My neighbors are still patrolling streets, driving strangers to work, and providing aid. As a photojournalist at @propublica.org, I wanted to know: What do they look like in their daily lives? So I picked up my camera 👇

My family is going to Baltimore for spring break! We picked a city we haven’t been to before and have been researching it! Excited.

9-year-old asked for a copy of The Hobbit.

Remember all those videos from a couple years back of young kids in Indiana having to climb through, over and UNDER freight trains just to get to school? There's still no overpass and looks like there won't be one any time soon. The latest, from @propublica.org

@propublica.org is still tracking U.S. citizens who are detained by immigration agents. Do you have info about how immigration agents are treating U.S. citizens and children during enforcement operations? Send tips: [email protected] or Signal nicolefoy.27 www.propublica.org/article/amer...

Just got an email from Amtrak offering to let me bid for a better seat. What in the Northeast Corridor is this?

used cookbook haul 😁

Office mate Coconut

we watched a @neildegrassetyson.com video on large numbers and decided to see how far we could go on one piece of paper.

Taking one of my kiddos to DC next weekend and our schedule is roughly: - Planet Word - See Gallaudet - Visit Mall at 7am to avoid crowds but have a look - Conveyor belt sushi - Kramer Books (no relation) - Comet Ping Pong (where my wedding was) - Zoo (maybe)

One of the better games we’ve been to. Two great teams - lots of fraught moments. Really enjoyed the crowd and my kids had a blast! Thinking about going more next year.

ahhhh

Maryland vs. UNC! Go Tar Heels!

Jazz car is complete

Date night in downtown Carrboro

my 7-year-old makes a lot of word puzzles and made this strands featuring bookstores from around the united states. some of the bookstores are (the) strand, wessex (menlo park) mckays, golden fig (carrboro) and powells (portland) - to make this, he looked at a long list of bookstores. enjoy!

This week, the average daily population at Dilley dropped to 100 people, compared with over 900 in January. The shift follows weeks of mounting public pressure generated in part by the widespread publication of letters written by detained children. @micarosenberg.bsky.social @mckenziefunk.com

We successfully sat through five hours of basketball.

At the second game of the first round of the first day of our NCAA tickets! Go Tar Heels!

Can anyone explain how children who would like to receive autographs from basketball players at the first and second round of an NCAA tournament game should position themselves? I have never wanted to do this and have no idea where to take them. I imagine we can’t get near the court?

Picked up a tabletop air hockey table for 12 bucks at the thrift store. 😁

Women play tomorrow at Carmichael.

this vcu unc overtime is painful

taking tomorrow off to go to round 1 of the women’s ncaa tournament in chapel hill. looking forward to seeing two basketball games.

Industry money has been pouring into the congressional campaign of a 26-year-old political unknown from Wisconsin. The candidate’s father-in-law happens to be Sean Duffy, the U.S. secretary of transportation. www.propublica.org/article/sean...

A bold bracket decision from a child raised next to UNC.

Thinking about my grandmom who is entering hospice. She spent much of her adult life working at Planned Parenthood and wrangling 4 boys. She was 19 when my dad was born. Worked at Temple so she could take a class or two there. Maintained a water aerobics practice for decades. She’s 92.

NEW: Federal Cyber Experts Thought Microsoft’s Cloud Was “a Pile of Shit.” They Approved It Anyway. A program created to protect the government against cyber threats authorized a sprawling Microsoft cloud product, despite the company’s inability to fully explain how it protects sensitive data.

Bought a bunch of used cookbooks from @powells.bsky.social and am very excited to have new to me cookbooks to explore.

Really enjoying the xkcd What If? channel on youtube.

7-year-old: For my birthday can I have a tuxedo? Me: That’s an interesting idea. Where would you wear it? 7: A wedding. Or a funeral.

Was talking with someone about working at NPR and had to stop when I realized I worked there 20 years ago.

My 6th grade class (and every 6th grade class in my town) spent a week in the Pine Barrens at a camp called Mount Misery. It was my first time away from my parents. It was 100+ degrees and we waded through mud.

don’t think i’ve seen this before. 🥴

“It’s become a way for me to hang out, play and jam with some of the best players in the world.” Check out this story from the Orange County Arts Commission on the Carrboro Django Reinhardt Festival:

School is canceled tomorrow due to the expected challenging weather in Central NC.

At the RDU observation deck watching planes take off and land

Yay! Got tickets. Looking forward.

If you are free today at 2, there is a James Taylor Birthday sing-a-long under or near the James Taylor Bridge, which has 0 parking nearby so we are curious how this will work. If you go, let us know!

in 6th grade (1996, public school, South Jersey) we had an assignment to give a 15 minute oral presentation on a topic of our choosing, and my presentation was on Y2K. This just popped into my head and is making me laugh.

Six years at Business Insider, and now onto something new. Excited to be joining ProPublica to build a business accountability desk with Jesse — it's the right place to be doing this work right now. We're hiring reporters. Link and some good advice in Jesse's post.
