Photos from the police crackdown on the pro-Palestine encampment at UW–Madison this morning. Police and protesters clashed, and several protesters were arrested. Most of the tents were removed by about 9:30 a.m.

actually getting choked up hearing these student journalists panic while covering these protests. Somehow remaining professional with god knows how little support

Tune in to WKCR right now for immediate updates on the major developments on and around campus as we see a massive increase of NYPD while protesters continue to occupy Hamilton Hall.

big news for the journalism girlies:
Dana Ferguson, Michelle Wiley and I won a Headliner Awards for our series 'The State of Abortion.' This series discussed what things looked like one year post-Roe in Minnesota. Lucky to be a part of the team❤️ mprnews.org/the-state-of-a…

This MPR story about a Russian trans man and his husband fleeing to Minnesota had me misty this morning. The idea that halfway across the globe there are queer folks who know nothing of MN but think of it as a symbol of safety is really sweet 🥺 mprnews.org/episode/2024/0…

Happy Independent Bookstore Day! You know that feeling when you walk into a bookstore or library and forget every book you've ever wanted to read? Ask a Bookseller is here to help MPR News. mprnews.org/story/2024/04/…

Refugees are resilient. I know because my parents are Russian refugees.
They fled persecution & started a new life in MN.
Erik Beda did the same. He’s trans & knew MN was a refuge state.
I was honored to interview him in Russian to share his story.

Happy 4/20 from MinnPot💚

@callaghanpeter’s cannabis coverage has been so extensive and impactful in across the state that I thought today, the first 4/20 in Minnesota with legal weed, would be a great time to celebrate that reporting.

Minnesota Lynx top draft pick ap will have her FIRST local media interview with MPR. Make sure to tune into All Things Considered at 4:20 pm today!

Wildly unacceptable.
And yet.
So sadly unsurprising.
The difference will be - how it's handled by @wnba IndyStar - they are now on the clock.

minnesotans spilling their guts on the angela davis show? yeah you really can't beat call-in radio...

won an award w/ ⁦Nina Moini⁩ for live coverage of the DOJ’s investigation into the minneapolis police dept!

WELCOME TO MINNESOTA, ap!

The Stone Arch Bridge is closing for two years for construction. This story of the bridge's community through the eyes of a busker made me cry: mprnews.org/story/2024/04/…
