My story for the @DelacorteReview, made possible by the dedication and generosity of dozens of West Virginians. It is their courage, kindness, and resilience that give me hope. delacortereview.org/2025/02/…
“A lot of faculty see this as just one more nail in the coffin.”
Last spring FIU signed an agreement with ICE. Some on campus see it as part of a larger pattern.

My latest for the AP with @AdlaiCole on 98 South Sudanese men arrested and tortured by SAF, who were released and are now stranded in Renk, a South Sudanese border town.

In South Sudan, aid is a lifeline – and an alternative to state authority. Now, communities are forced to reckon with the unraveling of a humanitarian system that is woven into the national fabric. buff.ly/VM0vcO1

As of 8:45 p.m., a full 24 hours after he was arrested by ICE inside his university-owned apartment, Khalil's attorney still does not know where he is being detained. Columbia has not yet commented on the arrest.
Mahmoud Khalil, a prominent Palestinian activist at Columbia, was arrested last night by ICE agents, who claimed they were acting on a State Department order to revoke his green card, his attorney told the AP.

"Danni is used to sharing her story, to 'recovering out loud.' She isn’t shy in enumerating her various criminal charges and relapses along her path to sobriety." @AdlaiCole @DelacorteReview

ALT Headline: The Heroines Who Take On The Harm Dek: I came to West Virginia looking for harm. I found resilience, the kind that keeps people alive, the kind that seems nearly miraculous, and the kind that is often overlooked. Tagline: Adlai Coleman for Delacorte Review A logo in the bottom right reads “Longreads Editor’s Pick”

“If the City of Portland has an affordable housing mandate, and it has an affordable housing project… and [the tenants] are facing rent increases that are really similar to market rate, then we've lost our way.” My latest for @portlandmercury.
Portland's Housing Bureau has determined the Everett Station Lofts apartments can charge rent based on square footage, despite units having no bedrooms. The news is a blow to tenants, who argue the property is supposed to abide by affordable housing rules. portlandmercury.com/news/202…

Thank you to everyone who spoke with me for this piece and shout out @portlandmercury for giving it a home and making it better. Have activists given up? Spoiler Alert: No.
On election night, police flooded downtown Portland, anticipating widespread protests. And yet, as networks called the election for Donald Trump, the streets of Portland remained quiet. Have activists given up? portlandmercury.com/news/202…

First post and it's shameless self promotion. I had the privilege of spending the summer at the @MiamiHerald, working with some of the best journalists in the business. Here's a quick thread with a few of the stories I'm most proud of...
Another fun one, getting to learn about Quade Books and their distinctly Miami bookstore was a joy, and getting to write about it was even better

Finally, it was an honor to write an obituary for Adam Epstein, a man who accomplished so much and was taken too soon. Thank you to all of Adam's friends and family who spoke with me for this piece
