Managing editor @19thNews. @nytimes alum. Immigrant. American. Chingona. I sound better on Substack.

[Fernanda Santos @ByFernandaS]

So honored and excited to help lead The @19thnews!

[Joyce Carol Oates @JoyceCarolOates]

none of this (apparently serious) prose even remotely explains why a female journalist of presumably normal intelligence would "fall in love" with Robert Kennedy, Jr. & sabotage not only her personal, private life but her career. is it--could it be-- something so banal as the "Kennedy" name?

BREAKING: CBP One, the app that allowed migrants to enter at ports of entry, is down.

Existing appointments are cancelled, per CBP.

Big news for the border.

More than 1,000 migrants each day entered this way.

"Embracing this new chapter was a disorienting adventure, a process that forced me to recalibrate my understanding of self in the context of a country that had a pre-assigned label for people like me." @ByFernandaS https://t.co/VdkrQGRzyW

[Faith Smith @TheFaithSmith]

A beautiful essay from @ByFernandaS 🫶

[Fernanda Santos @ByFernandaS]

The U.S. made me “ Latina.” Marriage, motherhood and loss shaped my American identity. My essay for the @19thnews: https://t.co/6XA8K2d3FT via @19thnews

As the @NFL season kicks off tonight, take a moment to read this story by @ChabeliC_, the @19thnews' economy reporter, about the continuing exploitation of cheerleaders, the women whom feminism forgot: https://t.co/MztnaefzzM

[Fernanda Santos @ByFernandaS]

I’m beyond excited to welcome @LaSharah S. Bunting as the @19thnews’ first VP. Thrilled to reunite after our time together at the @nytimes and have the opportunity to make meaningful and critical journalism by her side. https://t.co/cX8geRxIho via @19thnews

A must-read story, written with the depth and perspective of someone who has been there. By @slooterman, disability and aging reporter at @19thnews

[Sara Luterman @slooterman]

I’m disabled and I did IVF recently, so this was a pretty personal piece for me. I’m grateful to @malloryweggeman and Jay Snyder for speaking to me about Watershed and for making the documentary in the first place. My latest @19thnews. https://t.co/saAM5zqSOY

10/ For years, lawmakers have been rewriting state legislation meant to benefit students, veterans and beyond to push an anti-trans agenda — but that's starting to backfire. Part 5 of @19thnews' series "The Toll of America's Anti-Trans War"

[Fernanda Santos @ByFernandaS]

1/ A team of @19thnews reporters set out to examine how laws and rhetoric behind the anti-trans agenda could impact and reshape the lives of all Americans. The series, "The Toll of America's Anti-Trans War," launches today. Here is why this series matters: https://t.co/aBgCYggdQx

[Fernanda Santos @ByFernandaS]

9/ Today, the @19thnews series "The Toll of America's Anti-Trans War" uses sports as lens into how anti-trans rhetoric fuels violence towards women of color, including cisgender women. Check it out: https://t.co/RZxAnlWAle
