Haven't posted in a while, but thought I'd share that I'm now the Senior Editor for Illinois Public Media in Champaign-Urbana! On today's The 21st Show, I spoke about an incident of violence that happened at a Champaign early voting site last weekend.

Questions were drafted and ready to go until @michigandaily's scheduled interview with @UMichPrezOno was canceled. It is tradition for The Daily to interview the president multiple times a semester, this semester, we only got one interview.

Israeli soldiers pointed guns at NPR reporters. It detained, questioned + mocked their interviewee, a Palestinian farmer. The farmer was showing NPR his land, which the IDF won't let him access, causing him to lose income he earns from selling olives. npr.org/2023/11/13/121…

NEW: based on results from the Ingham County Clerk, Lansing voters have moved narrowly to authorize a revision of the City Charter. A revision would be the first in more than 40 years where the city considers updating its governing rules and regulations.
