Did you know 44 states don't have A/C in all their prisons?
I didn't, until I sat down last week and talked to experts fighting to change that.
One of them calls it "government-sanctioned torture."
My latest roundtable, for @kgnu and @Report4America.

10 years after the Boulder County Floods caused region-wide destruction, I hosted a roundtable discussion for @KGNU to commemorate the disaster and check in on where we are now when it comes to repair and prevention. Take a listen here:

Earlier this month, I spoke with activist Mylene Vialard for @KGNU and @Report4America. She's awaiting sentencing re: a 2021 arrest, for protesting pipelines on Indigenous land. Here's our conversation:

@Report4America@KGNU The Partridges have been irrevocably wronged by the criminal justice system - and unfortunately, I know there are others out there with similar stories to tell. If you or someone you know can relate to the Partridges, please DM me or email me @ [email protected].
In 2016, Ryan Partridge was locked in solitary confinement with a schizophrenia diagnosis and no medication.
Feeling trapped and afraid, he blinded himself with his own fingers.
The Partridges told me their story. Listen here:

This morning I co-hosted "A Public Affair," a live call-in show spearheaded by Sam Fuqua. I didn't know how much tea a community airport could brew up ... but now I do. It's several pots full.

Now that I've moved my entire life across state lines in the name of journalism, I've been told twitter is officially a non-negotiable. to that I say: fineeeeeeeeeeeeee
Took a (kind of harrowing) drive up the 101 last week to write about Montecito and California and what it means when the things that make your home desirable are also what make it dangerous: https://t.co/WfjevEsBFp w/ @corinaknoll + @jackiesedley
My first piece for @SBIndyNews, and my second piece covering UCSB's housing crisis -- head to @kcrw's 'Greater LA' webpage to listen to the first.
UCSB is turning to local hotels, overcrowded dorm rooms, and overnight parking offers in an attempt to house an overflow of students.
In response to its extreme housing shortage, UCSB has been renting out local hotel rooms for students on the housing waitlist. The hotel stays are only guaranteed until December 15, however, when the fall quarter ends. https://t.co/xlhdHlmIEt
CA’s failure to build enough housing — resulting in a multi-million home shortage — has profound consequences.
Students living in cars is just one of them.
When NIMBYs fight efforts to increase housing, we need to keep in mind the real people being harmed by their obstruction.
Hundreds of UC Santa Barbara students can't find housing near campus. Now, with classes just two weeks away, students are planning to live in their cars or quit school altogether.
