[Committee to Protect Journalists @pressfreedom]

“It is deeply disturbing that a journalist was killed while covering the gun violence that has become a sickening reality of living in the United States. Reporters must be able to cover the news without having to fear for their lives,” said @kajtweets.

1/ Finally! After five months of silence I can reveal what’s been consuming my life since last summer. I left a super rewarding job at the @HoustonChron as investigations and Sunday editor to embark on something truly inspiring.

Excited to share my first story for @BridgeMichigan! The Monarch population has taken a significant dip due to climate change and agricultural approaches.

But Michigan can play an important role in stabilizing the population before it's too late.
