This will be a long thread. Please stick with it.
The Miami Herald, one of the premier legacy newspapers in America, laid off or wrote off more than 30 positions today – well over one-third of its editorial staff. The cuts include crucial accountability beats. (1)

One morning, a mother woke up to find her daughter, who was trans, dead. Her life and death provide a glimpse into the tremendous and tragic effect that anti-trans laws and political rhetoric have had on trans people across America. nbcnews.com/news/us-news/ida…
Everyone should read this @JoYurcaba story:
Idaho pushed anti-trans laws for years. Then a teen died.

Some personal news: After less than three months @washingtonpost, I was among those laid off today. Devastated for all my colleagues who were affected. Thank you to those who have reached out. I appreciate you so much. Please keep me in mind for any openings ❤️

For decades, Florida has allowed major industries to pollute with impunity, leaving precious rivers, lakes and bays to suffer, a Times investigation found.
“People know what it would take to clean our waterways — it’s not rocket science,” one former lawmaker said. “The problem has always been the political will to do it.”

NEWS: A Miami federal judge has found Attorney General James Uthmeier in contempt of court for violating her restraining order to stop enforcing a new state law that criminalizes undocumented immigrants when they arrive in Florida.

After a judge blocked Florida's immigration law, police made dozens of arrests.
Most were pulled over for minor traffic infractions. One was arrested after he was an apparent victim in a hit-and-run.
A must-read from @HannaCritch & @borja_ashley21

Dozens of people were arrested under Florida's new immigration law — after a judge froze the measure, finding it likely unconstitutional.
At least nine are in ICE custody.

Manatees starved after poor water quality killed the seagrass they depended on. A Times investigation traced the tragedy to its roots and found it’s a dire example of a runaway pollution crisis in Florida.
