Months before George Floyd’s death 2 years ago, Manuel Ellis also told @TacomaPD “I can’t breathe” as officers beat, tased & suffocated him. I met Manny’s family in Tacoma last July to report this. This one will forever haunt me. My latest for @AJEnglish.

Wow — what a marathon. I just met with 17 very curious, bright, soon-to-be @columbiajourn graduates from around the world over Zoom for CUJ’s career expo. We chatted @AJEnglish internships over lightning-fast 15-minute slots. I can confirm I have no voice left!
