Huge thank you to @FDsignifier for uplifting the @KCDefender documentary about St Louis' community response to the tornado. Watch the doc today! Link in replies!
North St. Louis is in the middle of a climate warzone. A tornado wiped out 5,000+ homes. Black residents are fighting for survival. We documented the climate collapse, ICE kidnappings, and people fighting back in a city that sparked a global revolution. youtu.be/BhQjYxBcqxw

St. Louis Tornado CLIMATE WARZONE and The People Fighting Back
Shoutout to everyone at the @KCDefender, including Ryan Sorrell and Tiffany Watts who wrote and reported this story and Mili Mansaray and Joshua Taylor who were incredibly insightful laying the groundwork behind the scenes. Shoutout to @Oni_Spumoni with this amazing edit!
About a month ago, I spent a day in St Louis with @KCDefender documenting the mutual aid efforts that locals are still relying on 2 months after a tornado ripped through a 20 mile stretch of N STL, a historically black, redlined and systemically disadvantaged area of the city.
I strongly urge you to read @CapitalBNews, @baltbeat, @guardian, @KCDefender, @SacObserver, @scalawagmag, @TheBWSTimes and more — they are all covering these issues
The @KCDefender is fundraising to purchase the collection and turn it into a public archive, making “Miss Willa’s” bookstore space into its first-ever public headquarters. niemanlab.org/2025/07/missou…
If you’re curious what I’ve been up to at KCUR, my latest story is a profile on the iconic Willa Robinson, the owner of Willa’s Books and Vinyl. kcur.org/arts-life/2025…
Robinson has been collecting books by Black authors for decades. While she’s retiring and closing her shop, @KCDefender is giving it new life. kcur.org/arts-life/2025…
Interview with Lauren Winston from the @KCDefender coming up in 7 min on @Hot103Jamz eventbrite.com/e/willas-closi…
Happy to share my reporting with the great @KCDefender for this piece.
