My co-writer and I spoke to seven Harvard students who who described facing hateful, pervasive, and aggressive doxxing. They feel unsupported by the University and have sought support and guidance from one another over the last couple of months.

Harvard's previous investments in Bookings Holdings have been at the center of calls to divest from Israel for years. The University has now reinvested to the tune of $150 million — major scoop from @thecrimson finance reporters @saketh_sundar & @avaniiiirai.

Excited to announce that I’ve joined the investigative team at Tampa Bay Times. It’s a legendary outfit that has revealed some of the most impactful stories in Florida and the country. I’m thrilled to dig deep with this crew and see what we bring to light!

Over the last few months, I've worked with nonprofit workers, Brazilian immigrants, priests, professional translators, and other members of the Allston-Brighton community to report a difficult story of overcrowding among Brazilians arriving to the area.

A historical preservation committee wants to maintain the home of a formerly enslaved woman as a memorial and museum. The owner wants to build a boutique hotel. It’s a tenuous marriage.

Thank you @eschisgall for the edits and this great deck.

"When the news announced that Hurricane Milton’s landfall would be 'catastrophic,' I was far from the storm. I’ve never worried much about incoming hurricanes, and I’m still not sure that I do," writes @asherjmont in her personal essay.

Donald Trump’s return to the White House and a Republican majority in the Senate — and, possibly, control of the House — give Harvard officials plenty to worry about.

Silent library demonstrations, or study-ins, have become increasingly popular among pro-Palestine campus activists at Harvard. It’s put administrators between a rock and a hard place.

In March of 2023, the Cambridge City Council passed a policy order calling on the Cambridge Police Department to acquire body cameras. A year and a half later, CPD officers are still patrolling without them.
