Me & my colleagues @washingtonpost are #PulitzerPrize finalists for coverage of environmental racism "illuminating how communities of color have disproportionately suffered from dirty air, polluted water & lax or nonexistent environmental protection." pulitzer.org/finalists/staff…

So much awe and gratitude to @sabby_robinson @arielplotnick @rsamer for crafting this beautiful radio story from my reporting on climate trauma.
Amid an onslaught of disasters, it's good to tell a story of healing.

Incredibly proud to have been part of this project and awed by @CAKitchener and @RennieYS's impactful reporting. We're continuing to cover this post-Roe moment and will have more stories on #postreports soon ...
All but one of the segments included in this submission came out before Roe fell. Grateful to @rsamer, @RennieYS, @maggiepenman and the whole #postreports team, who devoted time and care to this issue early on.
Very proud of the coverage we made (and will keep making!) together.
And, here's more info about the rollout of pediatric covid vaccines in the DMV, thanks to my colleagues @washingtonpost:

As a Ward 6 resident and mom of a toddler, I found this really helpful! Really grateful this is finally happening.
So proud of my colleagues across the @washingtonpost newsroom for this honor, the work and its impact.
The Washington Post was honored with a Pulitzer Prize for public service — one of the highest honors in journalism — for our unwavering & unrelenting coverage of the attempted coup on Jan. 6, 2021.
I am so proud to have been part of this story, this team. washingtonpost.com/media/202…

The look of shock in my eyes says it all! So grateful to be honored alongside my amazing colleagues from @washingtonpost's climate team, especially Darryl. He spearheaded this coverage and is one of the most fearless journalists I've ever worked with.
I’m thankful for my selection as a Pulitzer finalist for national reporting of environmental racism w/my colleagues @eilperin @brady_dennis @JohnMuyskens @salwangeorges @rsamer. Our story package was nominated by @Krissah30, whom I’m hugging tight in this photo & @TrishWbelli

This ep of #PostReports is stunning. I had read the print version of @CaitJGibson's moving piece and wasn't prepared for what the listening experience would be like. Eloquent. Empathetic. Life-affirming. Please listen. Tagging the production team in next tweet
Podcast: Rep. Jamie Raskin buried his only son on Jan. 5, 2021. The next day he witnessed firsthand the attack on the Capitol. Marking a year since the insurrection, we look at how Raskin dealt with his son’s death while serving on democracy’s front lines. wapo.st/33cE5zU

When White residents forced a scrap metal shredder w/a bad environmental record out of their wealthy neighborhood, Chicago allowed it to relocate to a Latino community. This amazing podcast w/my colleagues @rsamer @martinepowers explains what happened next

This company @aldermanLaSpata says the mayor has hired for security this weekend has a very troubled history. For starters, a guard for the company once killed a "shoplifting suspect by shoving a knee into his neck" according to a 2017 article from @ElyssaCherney.
