Great to see Kevin McDermott get behind historical recognition of the slave pens on the Post-Dispatch editorial page and to cite Rocky’s fine story and support from the River City Journalism Fund. Thanks, Kevin. stltoday.com/opinion/editor…

Editorial: The hell on Earth of slave pens sat below Busch Stadium. It must be recognized.
Not far below where baseball fans today cheer the Cardinals was once an earthly hell. Under what is now the South Broadway and Clark Avenue area, bordering the current Busch
Some personal news: I’ve officially graduated from college and I’m so excited to be sharing my next step. This moment has been 13 years in the making. I can’t wait to take Wake Up To Politics full-time and I hope you join me on this journey!
Was photographing in historic Ste. Genevieve, Mo. yesterday when an #Eclipse2024 fan approached. She wanted to know where she could see my photos. I gave her our website and heard the whine before the words. "They have a paywall", she said. 1/ stltoday.com/news/multimedi…

Second, we've been quietly doing a little facelift on our 46-year-old print product. That includes a revamp of our food section to highlight our new partnership with @SAUCEmag. It's really pretty! riverfronttimes.com/stlouis/IssueA…
If you haven't picked up an RFT print issue lately, maybe think about changing that this week. First, we've got a kickass cover story -- all about the story behind an incredible Chuck Berry bootleg that may never reach the public
Thank you @stltoday The feeling of imposter syndrome is fairly common, but also it can manifest itself in just about any part of life. It is a privilege and honor to share my story through my freshman year at Washu. #education #Scholarships #college
Eviction filings have always come fast and cheap in #Missouri. Now, the same landlords that benefited from federal money during the pandemic are kicking tenants out. What a wild story by Mike Fitzgerald, with support from the River City Journalism Fund. stlpr.org/economy-busine…
I pledged a paid subscription to Perilous Times perilous.substack.com/?utm_medium=em… Brilliant commentary from David Schanzer at Duke.
Holy cow, @julian_trejo479's personal essay about his father with production from @AaronDSTL and the @STLonAir team is a must-listen. Absolute chills. stlpr.org/show/st-louis-…

Essay: 'I made peace with my dad's record — by changing my name'
Washington University sophomore Julian Trejo was 15 years old when his mother helped him change his surname. He was ashamed to be the son of a felon but now feels free.
I'm hosting @STLonAir today, and we'll discuss the Kevin Johnson case, among others. How does MO's new wrongful conviction law allow a special prosecutor to intervene in a case where the defendant has admitted guilt? What are the odds the court will delay or halt the execution?
