Hi. I cover Florida for @propublica.org. Sometimes, my cat Obi-Wan helps out. Both of us are asking management to grant our bargaining unit a fair contract. Everyone here works really hard, and is really talented. We deserve adequate pay, just cause layoff protections, and strong AI guardrails.

We’re on strike today! Support our fight for a fair contract by NOT visiting the @propublica.org website or engaging with ProPublica stories today. Tell ProPublica’s management you won’t cross the picket line: actionnetwork.org/petitions/te...

We're in solidarity with @propublicaguild.org workers in their fight!

Today, I and the rest of the @propublicaguild.org are on strike. Why? Because we deserve a fair contract - one that locks in just cause, AI protections, and fair wages for all union members.

1. This year traffic stops by Florida cops have led to at least two dozen immigrant kids being separated from their family or caregivers and placed in federal shelters. For one 15-year-old, it began with a cracked windshield.

ICE has sent more immigrant kids into the federal shelter system this year than in the previous 4 years combined. Under Trump, the average stay in custody is ~6 months, up from a month under Biden. Eye-opening story from @micarosenberg.bsky.social, @marioarizabaez.bsky.social + ProPublica team:
