Thread by @em_brindley

I'm feeling tired and discouraged, so here's a thread of impactful stories my colleagues wrote this week.

This work matters, and that's what I'm hanging onto right now.

First up, @capitolwatch on the 24-hr vaccination debate: courant.com/politics/hc-po…

Next, @ChristineDempse has been relentlessly tracking the storms over the last couple of weeks.

As an aside, she also spends hours each week answering calls/questions from readers, bc she cares deeply about our community.

Here's her latest weather story: courant.com/breaking-news/…

Last night, @zach_murdock posted an update to the Wethersfield police shooting that rocked the state.

The family of 18-year-old Anthony Vega Cruz, who was killed, has filed a federal lawsuit against the police officer and the town. courant.com/breaking-news/…

@McFarland_Shawn made his coronavirus reporting debut and wrote about CT's first case of the 'South African variant': courant.com/coronavirus/hc…

.@jessleavenworth wrote about profane anti-Biden flags in Plymouth.

The story basically broke the internet today.

In a covid-sports crossover, @alexaphilippou wrote about how the pandemic is impacting the @UConnWBB team.

(The already-legendary @paigebueckers1 said she doesn't "really need a mental break from basketball, so I've been fine with it all.") courant.com/sports/uconn-w…

And finally, another plug for @AlexPutterman's insightful and incisive look at suburban segregation.

This thread is not a complete list of the note-worthy work that Courant journalists have done this week.

The point, tho, is that my colleagues are doing impactful, meaningful work in far-from-ideal conditions.

I'm so proud to be part of this newsroom.
