The US is seeing an unprecedented wave of migrant child labor right now. Thousands of kids are working overnight in dangerous factories for brands like Cheerios, Fruit of the Loom and Ford. They're here alone and they're being failed in the most basic way.nytimes.com/2023/02/25/us/…

Vermont banned rental application fees decades ago, but they remain rampant - and no one appears to be enforcing the law. (My latest for @vtdigger) vtdigger.org/2022/11/01/i-w…

Sometimes journalism answers questions you never thought to ask. Like, "could one of the biggest bears in the world sit in coach?" His story (and more) here: washingtonpost.com/nation/2022/10…

Since 1954, the @WMO has retired the names of 94 particularly destructive Atlantic hurricanes. But the majority of those storms have occurred in the 21st century, and the rate of retirements has been markedly higher in recent decades. Could #hurricaineIan be on the 2022 list?

Oklahoma authorities found multiple human remains on a compound w/links to a violent white supremacist gang. Reporting on the discovery led to a rural vortex where people vanish, their families too terrified to hang “missing person” signs. (Thread) wapo.st/3QGWRT3
