Here's a small glimpse at what happened to just one community when about 700 undocumented worker were arrested. Trump is proposing to deport millions, so what this community went through would be much more widespread (chalkbeat.org/2024/10/29/tru…)
Horrified by the attacks tonight in Amsterdam, which are terribly reminiscent of a classic pogrom. I am also deeply disturbed by how long the reported attacks lasted and call on the government to conduct a thorough investigation into security force intervention and on how these…
My colleagues at Chalkbeat know how to cover election reactions. What better view than from a classroom? Teachers toss their lesson plans, give students the floor to grapple with Trump win chalkbeat.org/2024/11/06/tru…
Thanks to Ánimo Pat Brown Charter High School for allowing @Chalkbeat (and me) to sit in on your AP U.S. Government + Politics class yesterday. Read how teachers there and across the country are navigating this moment.
Educators awakened to the news of a second Trump presidency, then headed into schools where students felt shock, elation, despair. @Chalkbeat fanned out to schools across the country to see how teachers approached this monumental day. chalkbeat.org/2024/11/06/tru…
With a second term, Trump has vowed to eliminate the U.S. Department of Education. Here's what that would mean and why he and Project 2025 want it, by @meltzere ·chalkbeat.org/2024/08/24/if-…

Young voters could be highly influential on #ElectionDay. @GabiBirkner and I interviewed student first-time voters and asked them, "What issue is most driving your vote?" Their answers might surprise you. chalkbeat.org/2024/10/25/ele…

New: It took three ER visits and 20 hours before a hospital admitted Nevaeh Crain, 18, as her condition worsened. Doctors insisted on two ultrasounds to confirm “fetal demise.” She's one of at least two Texas women who died under the state's abortion ban. propub.li/40rAXvw

Billionaire-owned news is not our only option. "But here’s what we have that is worth more than all the superyachts and megamansions in the world," writes @MonikaBauerlein, "The knowledge that when we are ready to publish, no one can tell us not to." motherjones.com/politics/2024/…
For no particular reason, here's a short 7-minute Oscar-nominated documentary about pro-fascist rally that filled Madison Square Garden in 1939. anightatthegarden.com
Murdered in a Pittsburgh synagogue 6 years ago today because a White Nationalist believed anti-Jewish conspiracies. Joyce Fienberg Richard Gottfried Rose Mallinger Jerry Rabinowitz Cecil Rosenthal David Rosenthal Bernice Simon Sylvan Simon Daniel Stein Melvin Wax Irving Younger

We asked young people about the issues driving their first vote in a presidential race. What we heard was all over the map—from housing affordability to restrictions on abortion access to the wars in Gaza and Ukraine, by @CarolineBmn + me in @Chalkbeat chalkbeat.org/2024/10/25/ele…

From the Washington Post's former executive editor, @PostBaron
On political endorsement wapo.st/3YmeD3T This is cowardice, with democracy as its casualty. @realdonaldtrump will see this as an invitation to further intimidate owner @jeffbezos (and others). Disturbing spinelessness at an institution famed for courage.
A statement from Los Angeles Times Guild leadership:
I have been tapped by the @latimes to write stories about NYC vs. LA rivalry for the course of the World Series. Not necessarily sports related stories. How are the cities doing? How do they feel about each other? If you have ideas for stories, reach out!
