I spent the afternoon in a flooded basement apartment talking with Tania: "There isn't really supposed to be an apartment here. I'm not legally supposed to be here. I have no rights, so it doesn't matter. It's like I'm not a person." hellgatenyc.com/flooded-baseme…

“When asked how the Education Department communicated that guidance, [a schools spokesman] pointed to the mayoral press conference and social media.”

“Migrant arrivals are experiencing NYC's worsening childcare affordability crisis. Nearly 4 in 5 families in the city can’t afford out-of-school care for kids ages 6-12” Migrants want to work, but face familiar NYC problem of finding childcare Karen Yi gothamist.com/news/migrants-…

1) Limited space can be controlled by ppl who decide where to hold the speech, rendering it an unconvincing excuse. (Also, assign a pool reporter.) 2) A good reminder anytime Mayor Eric Adams says the press isn’t covering him fairly that an important speech was restricted to the press.

Mayor Adams yesterday when asked about parents who struggle with remote learning: “Snow days, my mother had to walk us to school with her arthritic knees. If you are a parent and you are not willing to navigate a computer for your child, that's a sad commentary.”

I spent the last month talking to newly-arrived migrants shuffling between shelters in New York, and I hope their stories remind you, as they reminded me, how fragile our states of belonging are. curbed.com/article/nyc-mi…

Given the DOE's focus on making sure kids actually eat (by giving them food they want) in a system where so many children are food insecure... hard to imagine there is such a thing as kids suddenly eating too much?

NEW: The NYC schools chancellor blamed IBM when students couldn’t log on to remote classes during last month's snow storm. But today, the company pushed back. “It was not a failure of IBM technology,” a senior executive said. nytimes.com/2024/03/06/nyr…

As a Northwestern Medill alumna, I'm deeply disappointed to see Northwestern block reporters from covering a major news story unfolding on its campus. Democracy depends on a free & unafraid news media -- that can't happen if reporters are forced to report from behind fences.

This is truly a moment for campus media, who know their own campus better than everyone else. I’m listening to WKCR, the Columbia student radio station right now, and it’s another level of up-to-the-minute: cc-seas.columbia.edu/wkcr/#

As people whose professional work is grounded in truth-seeking, I hope this NABJ controversy inspires more relevation, soul-searching, and change in leadership. Whatever needs to come out for a deep reset and rebuilding, I hope it happens. Because this community is too

1/ For the Atlantic's September cover story, I took 3 trips to the Darien Gap to try to understand the forces driving people there: instability, policy failures, and smuggling orgs that are eager to take advantage. lynsey addario captured it all. theatlantic.com/magazine/archi…
