52 years ago today, law enforcement shot and killed two students on Southern University's campus during a peaceful protest. Denver Smith and Leonard Brown had their whole lives ahead of them. These stories matter. And they still hold lessons for us today. wwno.org/podcast/bitter…

I wrote about the intentional community of Celo, N.C., as a model for the kinds of creative, transformative solutions we need to help people seeking refuge from climate-charged calamities like Hurricane Helene. TNX @jasondovemark @sierramagazine: sierraclub.org/sierra/north-c…
NEW: Telemedicine abortions have soared in Louisiana —they're 60% of all abortions — and one survey counted MORE abortions in the first half of 2023 compared to before the state banned abortions. Revealing new data in this latest for @WWNO wwno.org/public-health/…
1. So, if you were listening to @NPR's Weekend Edition just now, you may have heard @rosiewestwood and I talking about our reporting on Catholic bishops and abortion — which also happens to be the first NPR-RNS team up! Here's the NPR segment: npr.org/2024/10/20/nx-…
At a school in Gretna, about a dozen first graders are sitting at their desks, laptops open and headsets on. The setup makes them look like tiny telemarketers. What an AI-powered tutor sounds like in one classroom as Louisiana rolls out new technology. bit.ly/4eFtxJv
Grammy-nominated singer Antonique Smith visited the heart of Louisiana's chemical corridor for the first time. She lived near a chemical plant in New Jersey, but after passing 10 plants within 10 miles, she said her area looks "like a little playground." wwno.org/coastal-desk/2…

When a storm blows in, it doesn’t just impact people — it can also throw birds off course or drive them farther inland. Hurricane Francine presented an opportunity to see rare species in unexpected places. Today on @LAConsidered, @aubriruth takes us birding after the storm.
For two years doctors have warned that this was their greatest fear. They believed women could die because of abortion bans. This is just the first case @propublica has found. It says it will publish another in the coming days.
🚨BREAKING: A Georgia woman died in "large" part due to delayed medical care as a result of the state's abortion ban. Doctors waited 20 hours before providing an abortion that could have saved her life. She had a 6-year-old son. propublica.org/article/georgi…
