After over a decade at @HuffPost, I’ve decided to take a buyout in the latest round of layoffs. It's tough to leave a place I love & I’m so grateful for all the people here, & all the faith they’ve put in me through the years.

A month ago was my 1st day @HuffPost as National Investigative Reporter, what I thought was a new chapter for me Today I was laid off, as part of cuts they announced 3 hrs into my first day I was just gearing up to dig into 3 investigations. If your newsroom is hiring reach out

Welp. I've been laid off. I'm so proud of my work at HuffPost. But I want to give a special shout out to my Culture crew @tarynitup.bsky.social, @marinafang.bsky.social, Njera Jenkins and Erin Evans for holding us down. It's rare to be on a team with all women of color. We were amazing together.

A statement from the HuffPost Union @wgaeast.bsky.social on this week’s job cuts

“You’ll miss journalism when it’s gone,” is a thought that keeps running through my head this week. Multiple news outlets (including my own) announcing huge cuts. Rampant misinformation about the climate crisis-induced infernos in LA swirling around social media. (1/2)

I spoke to survivors of recent wildfires about the mental health toll of losing your house in a fire. They also offered advice to Angelenos about coping in the immediate days after thr loss. www.huffpost.com/entry/psycho...

California has deployed 400 incarcerated firefighters to fight the LA blaze. They make $26 over 24-hr shift. “We’re doing this heroic, crucial work, but many ppl inside cannot support their family, can barely afford hygiene supplies. Nobody is saving money,” Amika Mota, former firefighter, told me

The move, while significant, falls short of Biden's campaign promise to put an end to the death penalty. Three others remain on the federal death row.

My latest: Biden commuted the sentences of 37 people on federal death row, but three others remain. The move is significant, but it falls short of Biden's promise to end the death penalty, a controversial practice that Trump & other Republicans want to expand. www.huffpost.com/entry/biden-...
