For @raceandequity1 & @BlockClubCHI, my colleagues @angelatcr, @Sujay721, @maiamcdonld, Khadija Ahmed & I examined how the lack of access to home repair loans and grants hinders Black seniors in Chicago from aging in place and building generational wealth. https://t.co/YdskkckASA

For the latest issue of @thedrift_mag, my essay on Gandhi, his groupies, and his haters. This is not a paean or a defence or a hit piece: it's a call to arms to save and mobilize a powerful legacy that everyone has tarnished and twisted beyond recognition. https://t.co/EEtxgoxGHX

To say I’m thrilled is an understatement. I’ve been waiting all my life to say this, but I’m writing a book. It’s real.

A few years back, @MediaDervish @ProfBlackistone et al came together to build a Chicago newsroom dedicated to investigative reporting on race & equity. The idea, to create a training ground for young reporters to learn the ropes/produce impactful work. Well, we pulled it off.

Today's my last day at Rolling Stone due to a "change in editorial strategy." Was a pleasure working with my colleagues there who do great work and I hope the shift in direction doesn't affect other people.

Proud of the March cover story which I had the pleasure of editing.

In one decade, Wexford Health Services received $1.4B in taxpayer money to provide medical care to incarcerated people in every IL prison. Some of those people are now dead. This story is a masterclass in reporting 3+ years in the making. @plz_CLARify

I reviewed thousands of pages of court records, settlements & leaked internal docs to learn how Wexford Health Sources — the correctional medicine company that’s worked inside Illinois prisons since the 90s — operates

In the new @Chicago_Reader contributor @plz_CLARify writes about lawsuits waged against Wexford Health Sources, a for-profit medical corp. that has been tasked with the healthcare needs of most of the incarcerated people in IL prisons for the past decade https://t.co/RHESGoRsuP

In 2022, six unhoused Chicagoans I knew died preventable deaths. My first piece in 2023 is a long story about their short lives. It’s also about the rest of us: the deaths we accept, the lives we don't, & our role in them. https://t.co/gPjUvdDgSP

In 2022, @econhardship & @theintercept produced a short doc based on my @Chicago_Reader story about fighting to find a psychiatrist who accepts Medicaid. It’s out now, as part of “Insecurity,” a 3 part series on women struggling to get what they need: https://t.co/EmMi0P1Iya

But first let me tell you about my last story for the @Chicago_Reader. It's about loss in a changing neighborhood and the people with most at stake.

It's my favorite time of the year: petition season. I spent a couple hours last week outside the Board of Elections Supersite to meet the last of the hopeful candidates trying to get (the best spot) on the ballot for February's municipal elections. 👇🏽

I'm thrilled that Normal Gossip has been able to bring in money for @DefectorMedia, and I also want to note that this was a risk no other podcast or media company would consider. (Now, of course, they want it.)

Defector bet on it. We bet on it.

NEW: The @Chicago_Reader reviewed hundreds of pages of contracts between Riot Fest and the Chicago Park District that revealed a wonky "discount" structure, tens of thousands of dollars in damage fees and political donations from festival vendors.
