1. Things are getting heated in Louisville. Officers have been shot. Curfew of 9 pm came and went. A few dozen people are still in the square protesting today’s decision by a grand jury not to indict officers who shot Breonna Taylor: nytimes.com/2020/09/23/us/…
2. Police have given order to disperse. Helicopters overhead. Police on horses nearby: Image
3. Police are closing in and protesters are not leaving. Only a small number facing off: Image
4. Protestors are boxed in by Kentucky state police in a portion of the square:
5. Police retreated and at a certain point there was almost as many reporters as protestors, so we headed home. On the way, passed police arresting a few folks that were violating curfew: Image

1. On a recent night, the following people fell asleep in their cars in a fancy ski town: Two ski instructors, two snow plow drivers, a ski lift operator, an ice fishing guide, an employee of a ski shop who fits people for their boots, as well as two ER nurses who treat the injuries of the tourists who come to enjoy the snow:Image
2. Alongside @erinschaff, I visited what one city council member described as the lowest form of affordable housing: A parking lot in Colorado's ski country where working people who cannot afford rent can apply to park - living out of cars covered in snow (Photos by @erinschaff) Image
@erinschaff 3. The housing crisis has become so acute in America that parking lots like the one we visited in Frisco, Colo., have been set aside to provide "housing" for people who cannot afford rent but can still afford a car: Image

1. Happy Sunday everyone. Follow along for a thread on a worrying trend in the housing economy: Families are stuck in their starter homes. They can't sell, and so first time buyers can't buy: nytimes.com/2024/06/02/rea…
2. For the past two decades, home prices have soared, but the price of the lowest tier - the cheapest homes in a given market - have gone up the fastest.

See this graph using @CoreLogicInc data by @KarlNYT: Image
@CoreLogicInc @KarlNYT 3. The bottom tier - what we call a "starter home" - has soared 189% since 2004, while the average for all single family homes in that same period is 113%: Image

1. I've been waiting for @StejarelO's book on the legendary Romanian gymnast Nadia Comaneci to come out in English and it's finally out. So many scoops between these covers: Image
2. What @StejarelO did is he mined the kilometers of archive left behind by Romania's feared secret police to put together the story of the girl who got the sport's first Perfect 10. It's a gripping and also disturbing account of the violence she was subjected to, and the… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
3. Everyone in Romania wanted a piece of Nadia and the secret police began spying on her when she was just 13. According to the files he was able to consult, @StejarelO found that the Communist regime deployed dozens - maybe as many as hundreds - of informants to spy on the teen.

1. The discovery of ~1,000 graves at schools for indigenous children in Canada has cast a spotlight on a dark past. But long before those discoveries, Native American activists have been asking the US to provide an accounting of how many children died on this side of the border:
2. Along with Navajo photographer @Schischillyy, I set out to Colorado to one campus, Fort Lewis College, which was built on the bones of a former boarding school known as the Fort Lewis Indian School and which has been wrestling with its complicated past since 2019:
3. For decades, the university has provided a tuition waiver to Native American students as a kind of reparation. But it wasn't until two years ago, when a Native American professor @theoreticalfun rode her bike past these panels that the college began its own, full-on reckoning:

1. More than 400 universities in America have instituted vaccine mandates. But the rules were devised with domestic students in mind who have access to the three vaccines available in the US. What about international students who can't get those vaccines?nytimes.com/2021/06/03/us/…
2. In the US, students are considered vaccinated if they received the Pfizer, Moderna or Johnson & Johnson vaccine. Most universities are telling international students they will accept those three plus any others vetted by the WHO. That leaves out students like Milloni Doshi:
3. Milloni is from Mumbai and is due to start her masters at Columbia this fall. She's been vaccinated with Covaxin, which is not WHO approved. Columbia and many other colleges in the US are telling students like her that they will need to be revaccinated once they come on campus

1. More than 400 universities have announced students will not be able to enroll next fall if they haven't been vaccinated for Covid-19. A look at a map of where they are located shows that 92% of these colleges are in states that voted for Biden:
nytimes.com/2021/05/22/us/…
2. A tracker compiled by @chronicle, which is updated every day, shows that just 34 colleges out of 404 are in states that voted for Donald Trump in the last election: chronicle.com/blogs/live-cor…
3. The electoral map serves as a near exact proxy of which colleges have imposed the vaccine requirement, speaking to our divided politics and to how politicized the pandemic has become. To understand what was happening I interviewed 2 dozen university leaders, like Katie Conboy
