All the migrants we spoke with said they were primarily looking for safety. To them, the American dream is something they can't give up on. Read my story here:npr.org/2022/09/24/112386746…

Is the American dream worth the risk? These migrants hope so

The American dream remains a compelling tale among migrants south of the border. The objective has shifted, though. For many, simply trying to stay alive is what's driving them.

Almost 20 years ago --on May 17, 2004-- Massachusetts was the first U.S. state to give out licenses for same-sex marriages. Are there any queer couples out there who were married on that day or soon after? I'd like to talk to you! You could be heard on NPR.

At 6:07 ET on your NPR station, we begin an extended look at a big election issue: immigration. The issue looks different depending on who you are! So we’ll hear different border stories, beginning with two migrants crossing the border.

What have you been frustrated to experience as a woman seeking healthcare? You could be on NPR's Morning Edition in a story about the Biden admin adding more funding toward women's healthcare. Vent your frustrations - big to small!

This morning, @wamu885 management informed us they are laying off 15 vital people from our organization. These individuals are the lifeblood of our journalism. Our hearts are broken. We can’t believe we are losing our colleagues and friends.

NEW: Records obtained by The Texas Newsroom show that as of Jan. 24, Texas has spent over $148 million to bus migrants to predominantly Democratic cities. The price tag grows every day. My latest for @NPR: npr.org/2024/02/20/123265108… #txlege (🧵)

Texas has spent over $148 million busing migrants to other parts of the country

Since 2022, GOP Gov. Greg Abbott has bused over 102,000 migrants to predominantly Democratic-led cities. Supporters say the cost is necessary, but critics argue the program is expensive and inhumane.

Apparently the most shared @NPR podcast on Spotify last year WAS IN SPANISH. If your newsroom hasn’t gotten the memo about how important Spanish is, here is that memo again. – at Boise, ID

I wish I could share move videos. But the internet is still down and our sat connections are struggling. Another important point: we have seen no aid distribution. Nothing. We’ve seen military here and lots of electricity crews. But people here need basics: food and water.

We’ve spent the day in Acapulco and the devastation is breathtaking. Almost all the high rises are heavily damaged. But the most heartbreaking part is all the regular people who have lost what they have worked decades for. This is what one neighborhood looks like. 1/

All Things Go Music Festival continues its commitment to women and queer artists

At this year's festival, the majority of the headliners were women and non-binary artists. Festival-goers said that made for a more relaxed and inclusive audience mood at the two-day event."

After getting laid off 2 months ago and getting madder and sadder about all the layoffs I continue to see, I'm leaning into the misery and working on a story about layoffs for @ThisAmerLife. Specifically, I'm looking to talk to workers who know layoffs are coming but are waiting to find out if they're on the list... Is this you or someone you know? Also interested in: -Layoff horror stories -Ppl who work in HR and have to lay people off -Workers who have to help people pack up their desks and walk them out Would love to hear from you. Dms are open, and I'm at [email protected] ✌🏼
