none of this (apparently serious) prose even remotely explains why a female journalist of presumably normal intelligence would "fall in love" with Robert Kennedy, Jr. & sabotage not only her personal, private life but her career. is it--could it be-- something so banal as the "Kennedy" name?

BREAKING: CBP One, the app that allowed migrants to enter at ports of entry, is down. Existing appointments are cancelled, per CBP. Big news for the border. More than 1,000 migrants each day entered this way.

"Embracing this new chapter was a disorienting adventure, a process that forced me to recalibrate my understanding of self in the context of a country that had a pre-assigned label for people like me." @ByFernandaS 19thnews.org/2024/10/latinx-…

A beautiful essay from @ByFernandaS 🫶
The U.S. made me “ Latina.” Marriage, motherhood and loss shaped my American identity. My essay for the @19thnews: 19thnews.org/2024/10/latinx-… via @19thnews

A must-read story, written with the depth and perspective of someone who has been there. By @slooterman, disability and aging reporter at @19thnews
I’m disabled and I did IVF recently, so this was a pretty personal piece for me. I’m grateful to @malloryweggeman and Jay Snyder for speaking to me about Watershed and for making the documentary in the first place. My latest @19thnews. 19thnews.org/2024/08/paralym…

1/ A team of @19thnews reporters set out to examine how laws and rhetoric behind the anti-trans agenda could impact and reshape the lives of all Americans. The series, "The Toll of America's Anti-Trans War," launches today. Here is why this series matters: 19thnews.org/2024/08/the-tol…

10/ For years, lawmakers have been rewriting state legislation meant to benefit students, veterans and beyond to push an anti-trans agenda — but that's starting to backfire. Part 5 of @19thnews' series "The Toll of America's Anti-Trans War" 19thnews.org/2024/08/republi…

Caught up with @stephanievalenc to understand how Harris' nomination is impacting Latinas' support for Dems. Bottom line: Support for Harris in August among battleground Latinas was 9pts better than under Biden. Among Latinas under 40, the shift was 13. 19thnews.org/2024/08/kamala-…
