I wish I could say this has been remedied, but as you can see in our story, the youth in these facilities are still not protected. Watch “Who guards the guards?” -our investigation into thousands of reports of sexual abuse by probation officers in LA: abcnews.go.com/US/video/kids…

Elon Musk became the world's first trillionaire with SpaceX's IPO on Friday — and some of the company's employees and former employees even became millionaires.
@jolingkent has more.

Bizarre to see someone take a victory lap during this moment. But also it's just wrong.
Twitter has always been a go-to place for live news. But often where does that news come from? Many of the video clips, photos, and accounts shared today were from reporters on the ground.

My latest story for @Stacker explores how Indigenous data warriors like @native4data & @echohawkd3 are fighting for data sovereignty: Indigenous systems for gathering and using data in spite of a system built to exclude them. Read it here: stacker.com/society/indigeno…

The exclusion of Native Americans from data goes back to the founding of this country. And, American Indian and Alaska Native communities will continue to be starved of resources if there's inaccurate data—or no data at all—to show how they are faring... I hope you'll read it!

The front page of tomorrow's @dailytarheel –
I shed many tears while typing up these heart-wrenching text messages sent and received by UNC students yesterday. Our campus was on lockdown for more than three hours.
Beyond proud of this cover and the team behind it.

This university system is covering tuition and fees for Native American students, but could it ever make up for building these institutions on unceded Indigenous land? Watch my latest reporting for @NBCNewsNow! nbcnews.com/now/video/tuitio…

I’m honored to be able to share a story about the Santa Fe Indian School. @ahylton26 & I got to meet inspiring students and teachers, witness Native American language classes (6 different languages taught!), and see traditional dancing and singing on Indigenous Peoples’ Day.

SCOTUS just validated what many have been saying for generations: the Indian Child Welfare Act is the gold standard of child welfare policy. This decision upholds the constitutionality of this law, respects Tribal sovereignty, and protects the best interests of Indian children.

Indian Country is breathing a big sigh of relief this morning. The widely held expectation was that ICWA would fall or be diminished in some way. Experts and advocates are calling this a win for tribal nations and their sovereignty.
15 Jun 2023
Today the #SCOTUS upheld the Indian Child Welfare Act in an opinion authored by Justice Barrett. Much of the fight has been left for another day--in that #SCOTUS declined to reach some of the thorniest issues. But ICWA survives. So much to learn here. supremecourt.gov/opinions/22…

A Pulitzer & a Peabody!! What an unbelievable 2 days! This feels like undeniable proof that Indigenous stories matter & that we should support Indigenous people to tell them. We are so grateful to survivors who shared with us & hope this means more people will hear their voices.
