Hundreds showed up to protest @washu's ties to @Boeing amid the war in Gaza today. Now, as @erjlee documents, mass arrests have begun by campus and local police. Stay tuned to @stlpublicradio for more soon.
For tomorrow's #IndependentBookstoreDay, local shops are planning lots of events and deals for patrons. Here’s a guide to local independent bookstores across the St. Louis Metro region: buff.ly/3w1QV2X
There will soon be 1 to 1.5 million cicadas PER ACRE in #STL. I'm excited, but will be wearing hats and ponytails for the foreseeable future. As @etaecha advises in this @STLonAir interview: "Don't run with your mouth open." 😂 stlpr.org/show/st-louis-… @mobotgarden @ButterflyHse

My usual TV beat is food, but I'm also a current @Columbia student, and I'm so sad & so frustrated with the way student protests on our campus are being reported. This will be imperfect, but I can't watch things that are so contrary to what I've actually seen and stay silent. 🧵

New: The Cardinals are gearing up for a big ask for more public funding for Busch Stadium. The team president compares the potential scale of the project to two other franchises that each obtained more than $500M in public funds for stadium upgrades. riverfronttimes.com/news/as-cardin…
A disturbing story. “I took the photo because I knew nobody would pay attention to yet another bad story coming out of the jail,” Pearson’s attorney, Susan McGraugh told @STLonAir.

For months, I spoke to 3 Sudanese women about the #Sudan war. In anticipation for the 1 year mark of this devastating war, I tried to tell the story of the country through their eyes. Here is my attempt below. My long read for @AJEnglish aljazeera.com/features/longf…
It’s been a hard #Ramadan for many. Even while grieving, community gatherings have remained a way for #STL Muslims to reflect and foster unity. Listen/read the story for some heartfelt reflections about the month of fasting💙
Some Muslims in the #STL area said this year's #Ramadan felt more somber and reflective. In this episode, @ulaakuz takes us to a prayer service at Daar Ul-Islam Masjid in St. Louis County and a pre-dawn breakfast meal at Golden Chicken in St. Peters. 🔊: stlpr.org/race-identity-…

Scenes from the solar eclipse in St. Genevieve. More to come over at @stlpublicradio!
An NPR exclusive of photos and reporting from @ayaelb and Omar El Qattaa NPR photos show the Gaza Strip's biggest hospital in ruins after an Israeli raid. Israel says the siege only targeted militants. Palestinians recount a different story. npr.org/2024/04/06/124…

Today at noon: I'm hosting the Legal Roundtable on @stlpublicradio. We'll talk about whether protestors have any rights on a private college campus -- and whether that changes if they're professors, students or outsiders.
Columbia University hired private investigators to pursue pro-Palestine students. Vanderbilt University canceled a divestment vote, then expelled students after they protested. Pomona College sent police officers in riot gear to arrest 20 students. @prem_thakker reports,…
