MUST READ @esilverman11's incredible story about the woman who the world thought they knew

Good for editors to dive back into deadline reporting! Don't miss @HollyMcDede's investigation cited by the Trump administration as it launches a national crackdown on how school districts handle accusations of sexual misconduct by teachers. propublica.org/article/califo…

MUST READ @RichardAWebster’s incredible coverage of Jimmie Duncan’s case for @propublica + @veritenewsnola The former death row prisoner was recently freed by the Louisiana Supreme Court.

1/ At 17 weeks pregnant, Emily Waldorf was suddenly faced with a life-threatening situation: Her baby’s foot was dipping out of her cervix. Doctors told her the longer her cervix stayed open, the higher her risk of infection. They knew how to treat her. There was one issue…🧵

@vanessa_hua @StanfordDaily I got to know @tab_delete as journalism director on @StanfordDaily board when Theo was a freshman investigating university president Marc Tessier-Lavigne for allegations of data manipulation in research that the famed neuroscientist oversaw. nytimes.com/2026/05/18/boo…

.@vanessa_hua was my features editor at @StanfordDaily and we've been friends ever since. LOVED ALL her previous novels and collection of short stories. Brought "Coyoteland" with me to Tulsa. kqed.org/arts/13989248/…

Sad to be out of town & missing BOTH @tab_delete’s DC book party for the release of his first book, "How To Rule The World," as well as @vanessa_hua’s Baltimore reading for her third novel, "Coyoteland," TONIGHT. Theo & Vanessa are @StanfordDaily alumni, decades apart.

Coming soon: A documentary film featuring the Merediths & other Oklahomans living with the environmental impacts of oil & gas pollution. Public screening in Tulsa May 20. RSVP here: events.propublica.org/toxic-ground?_….
