Big up, Uncle Ian Wright for speaking up, and he's 100% correct.

🧵Last yr, 250,000 ppl crossed the Darién jungle in a desperate attempt to make it to the US. This year, that number has already reached 360k. @federicorios and I have returned again & again to the jungle, trying to understand this flow. Some anecdotes from our latest reporting.

9 years. Well, as the characters of my favorite TV series “The Wire” used to say: “You only do two days. That's the day you go in and the day you come out"

JUSTICE of all kinds before healing and unity. It is the central lesson of Civil War memory and the memory of many other pivots in our history, such as the Civil Rights Movement.

My latest: The threat of learning loss is especially severe for English learners, whose ability to grasp English is essential to everything from their success in school, to their social lives, to their ability to gain employment and even ask for help.

Stock ownership increasingly concentrated among small share of population; top 10% of earners owned 87% of all U.S. stocks in 1Q 2020—up from 82.4% in 2009—while bottom 50% owns just a sliver @WSJ @federalreserve
