Of 40 men killed in the fire at a #Juarez migrant jail, 5 were from the same Mayan community in #Guatemala, an unimaginable loss. Our 2nd in the El Paso Times series on the deadliest year for migrants in the El Paso #migration corridor w/ J. Omar Ornelas 👇 elpasotimes.com/story/news/imm…

Remember the HISD convocation in August, which included an hourlong musical written by and starring Mike Miles? Public records we got back from the district this week indicate it cost nearly $470,000 in taxpayer money houstonchronicle.com/news/houston-t…

🧵I stumbled upon an incredible piece of local journalism while reporting our latest story. Since 2019, Jo Ciavaglia has published a database of unclaimed persons for the Bucks County Courier Times. Jo, it turns out, had identified a widespread national problem—and a solution.

Journalists, looking for a new job in the new year? The Associated Press is hiring a LatinX affairs reporter "based in or willing to relocate to Texas, Southern California or another mutually agreeable location with a large Latinx population." CC Aaron L. Morrison careers.ap.org/job/Newsperson…

I’ve been laid off from my job as a columnist for the LA Times today, with 100 of my best colleagues. It’s a dark day. I was the only Latina columnist for the opinion desk. Trump is looming & I’m author of Hatemonger. If you're hiring, I’m at [email protected]

I am finally coming up for air after a rough couple weeks only to see so many talented and dedicated colleagues losing their jobs at the LA Times. This might be one of the most important things I'll ever say on this platform.

My entire timeline is people of color getting laid off from the LA Times.

De Los was the best thing to happen to journalism in LA, and they just got rid of everyone on that team. BE. FOR. REAL.

The L.A. Times closed the Washington Bureau in an election year and on the day of the New Hampshire primary.

11 Black Guild members were laid off today. + 2 more on the masthead.

These layoffs are devastating. We, the Latino, Black, AAPI and MENASA Caucuses have put out a statement. If these layoffs are allowed to go through, Latino Caucus will lose 38% of its members; Black Caucus will lose 36%; AAPI/MENASA will lose 34%. docs.google.com/document/d/1dd…

A friend said to me today, “being a journalist right now is like being in a game of musical chairs.” You jump from outlet to outlet, crossing your fingers you wont get laid off.

Houston's ticketing for "encamping" has soared in recent years. Those tickets aren't necessarily in places where camps have been closed w/offers of housing, or even in places w/high homeless populations (although places w/high pops do have many tickets). houstonchronicle.com/projects/2024/…

It's been six years since the Parkland school shooting. One librarian has worked to make her space safe and healing. I reflected on my reporting with The Excerpt podcast. art19.com/shows/5-things…
