1/ ProPublica collected handwritten letters in mid-January from children held at the Dilley Immigration Processing Center, the same facility where 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos was taken. Hundreds of kids are still detained. We’ll let the children’s words speak for themselves. 🧵

Sukhjot @sukhjot.bsky.social shares her story for our “what our audience doesn’t know” series. "There are countless things we spend our salaries on: rent, groceries, medical bills, child care, transportation. It's different, complex & frustrating for each person." -Sukhjot Sal OPB digital producer

Having a "robust digital presence" is one of the core parts of OPB's strategy. It's time our digital producers like Sukhjot get paid like a core member of the team.

Hush was some of the best crime reporting I've ever experienced, period. It epitomized what OPB is supposed to be about, focusing on communities that often go unnoticed by the mainstream. Hush might be over, but the work is still out there.

On the day that @opb.org CEO Rachel Smolkin posted this video, saying OPB’s funding gap of $5 million was closed, I was also told by the Chief Content Officer that Hush was canceled. Eighty percent of my income, and my health insurance - gone. I was given no reason for the cancellation. 1/x

My colleagues @lmiller12.bsky.social & Rob Manning did an amazing thing: when the former OR governor set a goal in 2012 of 100% HS grad rate by 2025, they followed one class of students from kindergarten -> high school. The *13 YEAR* project culminates in this beautiful documentary out today. Watch:

There are lots of other questions and stories wrapped up in all of this but that's just a start! For those who have made it to the end -- plz enjoy my first "byline", a submission to the kids section of the Columbus Dispatch writing about my grandpa, and a live look at me at my desk rn.

So for the next year, i'm focused on these students and their stories, but also the story of the aspirational goal from 12 years ago: what does it take to get every student to graduation? Why does OR lag behind other state grad rates? How can -- and should -- schools prepare them for adulthood?

Fast forward to now - we've kept up with the students stories through stories on the radio, stories on opb.org, and 3 documentaries charting each year of high school so far. Check out Class of 2025: Junior Year for a quick catch up: www.youtube.com/watch?v=rwa-...

What is #ClassOf2025, you ask? Its a wild project following the educational journeys of 27 students thru the OR public education system. OPB met the Class of 2025 as kindergarteners -- now they're seniors in high school. www.opb.org/article/2024...
