🏆 Awards alert!! 🏆

We're thrilled to announce that we've won two @PeabodyAwards in the Radio/Podcast category.

Details: peabodyawards.com/stories/story/…
"Kept Out," our investigation into modern-day redlining w/ @NewsHour, @AP and @PRX, found that in dozens of U.S. cities, people of color were being denied home loans at rates that far exceeded their white counterparts. revealnews.org/episodes/the-r…
And "Monumental Lies," a partnership with @typeinvestigate, looked at Confederate monuments across the U.S.

They're supposed to commemorate a shared history.

In reality, they’re often instrumental in erasing it. revealnews.org/episodes/monum…
Congratulations to all of our fellow winners and finalists.

1/ NEW: Last summer, a federal judge ordered the Trump administration to reunite families split up at the border.

But there’s a catch: The ruling only applies to parents – not legal guardians.
revealnews.org/article/govern…
2/ Since legal guardians aren’t considered class members of the Ms. L case, which forced the government to reunify separated families, they have to file their own legal claims to be released and see their children again.
3/ Some lawyers say these families should get the same court protections afforded to parents.

“They are the functional equivalent of parents,” said attorney Joshua Toll, who is representing two legal guardians.

The Trump administration just announced its intention to roll back 2015 rules that dramatically expanded the public’s access to home mortgage information.

The rollback could severely limit how much we know about patterns suggesting discrimination. revealnews.org/blog/cfpb-move…
Lawmakers are raising concerns. In a letter to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, a collection of senators, including @sensherrodbrown and @senwarren, cited our "Kept Out" investigation: revealnews.org/article/for-pe…
@SenSherrodBrown @SenWarren "[J]ust last year, journalists used HMDA data to show that lenders were more likely – in some cases more than five times more likely – to deny people of color conventional mortgage financing in 61 of the metro areas analyzed."

1/ The forecast may say 73 and cloudless here in the Bay Area but our office is ☃️☃️☃️!!!

Luckily, our staffers are sporting some smart winter lewks on this, the ... uh ... [checks notes] ... 44th day of spring?
2/ Digital designer @ghongsdusit may not be camping at the moment, but he's ready for anything in this smart red parka and jeans.

Dust off that East Coast relic, cuz this office is COLD, COLD, COLD!
3/ @vdbaranetsky, our general counsel, is a First Amendment whiz.

But she always finds time for fashion – including this elegant jacket, which is almost certainly designed for a different climate than the one here in California. Yet here we are.

STYLE!

NIGERIAN security operatives, fake federal, state and local govt revenue officials and gangsters extort over N5.8 billion annually from traders conveying livestock from the far North to the country’s South-South and South East states, an investigation by #TheICIR has revealed.
With a minimum of 400 truckloads of cattle leaving the North to the 11 South-South and South East states weekly, traders pay a minimum of N300, 000 per truck in illegal levies, fees and taxes.

Since @JohnBrennan has SOOO much to say about OUR President...time to break down some facts about him. Spoiler alert: He's as corrupt as they come. Also a verified LIAR.

[2015] CIA Director @JohnBrennan lied when he denied ordering agency employees to search Senate comps to trace a leak. Frustrated w his unwillingness to admit the obvious, 3 Senate Dems called on Brennan to admit that his agency crossed the line. dailydot.com/layer8/senate-…
[2014] The scandal stirred fresh doubts abt John Brennan’s ability to lead the CIA & could make it difficult for the agency to push back on the findings of a Senate report on Bush-era “enhanced interrogation” techniques that might be released this mothehill.com/policy/technol…FYKg

Hace tiempo vengo conversando con amigos, acá, qué hacer con los discursos de odio que se nos cruzan diariamente en esta y otras redes sociales. En Argentina suelen ser discursos homofóbicos, transfóbicos y reaccionarios en cuanto a derechos de las mujeres y minorías.
En otros países son discursos abiertamente racistas en todas sus variantes. Desde Brasil hasta Estados Unidos, pasando por toda Europa Occidental. @marianevy me recomendó este ep del #podcast @onthemedia wnycstudios.org/story/perils-a… que reflexiona sobre el qué hacer
¿Cómo hacemos para criticar estos discursos de odio pero sin darle a sus representantes lo que más quieren, amplificación de su discurso y llegada capilar a todas las personas posibles? ¿Cómo los criticamos en los medios sin meterlos en todas las casas a través de radio y TV?

Day 1 of summer school down. We’re reading Wilson’s FENCES. Our first paired text was Morrison's “Recitatif.” Tomorrow, it’s the “Bona and Paul” Excerpt from Jean Toomer’s CANE. #pairedtexts #engchat #litchat
Day 2 included a close reading of “Bona and Paul,” followed by theme statements for the story, and a gender-flipped reading of Act One Scene One of FENCES. Two girls read the parts of Troy and Bono and there was much engagement and laughter.
Preliminary Notes from Day 3:

Student to me: Did you pick FENCES or did they tell you to teach it?
Me: No, I picked it. I love teaching it.
Him: You picked a good one.

HIGHEST PRAISE ALWAYS COMES FROM THE KIDS.
