With @nytimes & 7 local papers we just published data-driven stories on a generation of Black men who fatally overdosed at the highest rates in their city for most of 1990-2022 Black men in dozens of cities like Baltimore Chicago SF and DC are affected🧵 nytimes.com/2024/12/20/ups…


This coming on the heels of the city council's first overdose hearing (after multiple hearings cancelled last summer) where @PhyliciaPorter_ pushed the city to explain how it would address the crisis now, given the long timeline listed in public documents

At least 15 people have been taken to the hospital after officials found multiple overdose victims in West Baltimore. As of 12:50 p.m., at least 15 people have been taken to the hospital, with five being listed in critical condition. Authorities said the other 10 patients were…

Want to set the record straight - OIG’s request for oversight is .00002 not .00001 of this $4.78 billion budget. Similar to the difference between cut & deny - both yield ZERO positions to the citizens watchdog group that requested the new position to do our job. 🙏🏽🖤💛


Meta's public AI feed is one of the most bizarre choices I've seen in a while. Venmo already very publicly dropped their global feed after criticism users didn't realize it was public by default I've already seen a few vignettes a la Hang Do Thi Duc's publicbydefault.fyi

WE WON A PULITZER! A big first for @BaltimoreBanner & @nytimes Local Investigations Fellowship. Thank you to so many, especially those who trusted us with their stories, however painful or risky it may have been for them to share, because they knew it could make a difference.

NEW: @klaudiajaz and @Aisvarya17 ran 1600 queries across eight generative AI search tools to see how they cite news content. They all did pretty poorly. @CJR @columbiajourn cjr.org/tow_center/we-…

I'm honored to receive a Polk award for covering Baltimore City's overdose crisis alongside @AlissaZhu and @JessMGallagher I hope that with continued attention, recognition, and pressure @MayorBMScott and @BaltCityHall will finally discuss our city's issue in public view

In the past year of reporting on overdoses in Baltimore, a treatment program kept coming up. We looked into it: At least 13 deaths deaths since 2022. This year a mom died, then her baby starved. It operated in the shadows & got paid millions by the state. nytimes.com/2024/12/20/us/…

As @AlissaZhu, @FurrierTranform, @JessMGallagher found, people in Baltimore have been dying of overdoses at a rate never before seen in a major city, and City Hall is doing nothing meaningful about it. Yesterday, the mayor shut down a public hearing on it thebaltimorebanner.com/politics-power…
