The US is seeing an unprecedented wave of migrant child labor right now.
Thousands of kids are working overnight in dangerous factories for brands like Cheerios, Fruit of the Loom and Ford. They're here alone and they're being failed in the most basic way.nytimes.com/2023/02/25/us/…

One thing that keeps me up at night right now is the possibility that Twitter’s potential death spiral will coincide with a major regional/national/global crisis. For better or worse, Twitter is a crucial disaster comms tool, and we don’t have a replacement for it. 1/

This is what it actually means to criminalize abortion.
I am not sure America is prepared for the level of invasive policing that women are about to endure.

I wrote about myself and how $88,000 in mainly private student loans has made reporting unaffordable.
This piece closes a chapter for me and journalism for a while. And though it's not the way I expected to end my run, I'm grateful for the journey.

Pre-Roe, I was 8 yrs old. I came home from school to find my Mom lying in a puddle of blood. She was weak & asked me to call a neighbor. She was miscarrying, but the embryo would not abort. For 48 hours, she bled while doctors transfused blood, waiting. Abortions were illegal.

Speechless. Phenomenal sense of moral clarity is right. And humanity. We worked together on one of the best projects @CodaStory has ever done: Generation Gulag. Will share some of the amazing work later...for now just speechless

And now it's someone I've known for 16 years and worked with at several independent outlets. Oksana Baulina, a Russian journalist with phenomenal sense of moral clarity, killed by Russian rocket fire on a reporting mission in Kyiv today. I'm yet to process this.

1. I've never had a hard time sleeping. But the past three nights I have slept a total of 3 hours. I'm writing this so I can sleep.
I am very angry. And I've realized during that having the space to be angry is a privilege because many people are too busy being terrified.
