Photos from yesterday's #MayDay protest in downtown St Louis, Missouri.

Some photos I took at yesterday's #NoKings march in St Louis, Missouri. #STL

I've been documenting guns at protests since 2014.

If you're gonna engage in the ethically tenuous practice of filming poor ppl in a food line w/o asking them, at least get the story right, @firstalert4.com. FotM 𝘩𝘢𝘴 𝘢𝘭𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘥𝘺 𝘣𝘦𝘦𝘯 in Madison for 2.5yrs. The story is food amount available was lower than prior 30mos. www.firstalert4.com/2025/12/22/s...

From a friend in Columbia, MO — the frogs have made it. A huge #nokings rally there, too. 🐸

Big turnout in St. Louis even with non-stop rain. #NoKings #STL #StLouis

Despite the rain, I estimate at least a couple hundred people showed up for #NoKings in Edwardsville, Illinois this afternoon.

Ferguson & St Louis activists have been using what's known as the 'Assata Chant' for over a decade.

💔 Rest in power, Dorian

10 years ago today, I covered the protest and aftermath of a police shooting of 18-year-old Mansur Ball-Bey. It was a privilege to interview Mansur's father Dennis on our show this week. He took us inside the tragedy of his son's death, but also shared with us some of the story of his life.

Michael Brown Jr's family & supporters gathered at the memorial site on Canfield Dr this morning to commemorate the 11th anniversary of his killing by a Ferguson, MO police officer.

The largest protest since BLM or Stockley. #stl #nokings #noKingsDay

I have screencaps from the other place of a now-former St Louis Metro Police Officer —who wore an "I am Darren Wilson" bracelet while policing protests, & threatened Ferguson livestreamers online— repeatedly using "feral" as a stand-in for the N-word in 2019.

"...autopsy revealed Mansur’s body had a severed spine. It’s a critical fact because Chandler’s version of events was that he shot Mansur in the backyard and then Mansur, with a hollow-point bullet that hit his spine and also went through his aorta, somehow continued running into the front yard."

This morning, @missouriindependent.com published a months-long investigation by Clara Bates into the case of Kurtis Watkins, who has served a decade in prison for a crime he swears he didn’t commit. #moleg #mogov (1/6)

For five years, I have been covering what is unquestionably the biggest criminal justice scandal in American history. Today it ended when the most corrupt cop in history took his life. But it's not over. A thread.

R.I.P. Mercie You were the best girl 😢💔

I don't see this fake IG account when I search now, but it was apparently DMing some of my friends last week. My real IG account has a dot btwn my first & last names. If anyone claiming to be me DMs you & starts talking about prayer, that's a dead giveaway b/c I'm an atheist.

A year ago tonight I received the most devastating call of my life telling me you were gone. You cared & fought for me, & for so many others, & you encouraged my free thought & creativity & search for knowledge while anchoring me with your moral guidance. I love you, Mom 💔
