Proud to be part of this project, covering the human toll of driving on Long Island. 2,100+ killed, 16,000+ seriously injured over a decade. But the stats don't tell the whole story -- thank you to Amir Porterfield's family and the other families for sharing their stories.

What can Long Island learn from a Maryland suburb trying to eliminate traffic deaths? @randeedaddona and I went to find out for @Newsday.

Tests of water in Long Island schools found nearly 3,000 fixtures — including water fountains, kitchen faucets, ice machines and classroom sinks — tested above the state limit for lead of 5 parts per billion. From Tracy Tullis @Newsday https://t.co/sSqNtuzy2c

More than 3,000 drinking fountains & other fixtures in LI schools exceed the state standards for lead, potentially putting kids at risk. Via Tracy Tullis & Michael Ebert

An inside look at the little-known immigration holding rooms of the Central Islip Federal Court Building on Long Island, NY. We were finally able to document what was happening and shed light on the extreme conditions detainees endured. https://t.co/sLVSnoqnkq

NEW: Nassau violated its own agreement with ICE by detaining hundreds for days on end. More than 60% had no criminal record. w/ @anastasiajourno

Suffolk ticketing for dangerous driving is significantly lower than other parts of New York, though it's rising, according to a Newsday analysis. In Nassau, the rate is higher, but enforcement still hasn’t fully recovered since the pandemic.

A @Newsday analysis found for years, police in Suffolk County have issued significantly fewer dangerous-driving tickets than other parts of New York when adjusted for traffic, though their numbers have been rising. More in the latest piece in Newsday’s Dangerous Roads series ⬇️

I along with @karishma__m__ & @supriyakmr report on the seismic #GenZNepal protests that brought down a government. The youth’s fight against deep-seated corruption ignited a nation, but Nepal’s future now hangs by a thread amidst the shattered aftermath.

After anti-corruption #GenZprotests and a deadly uprising forced the prime minister and government to resign, #Nepal searches for a new politics that can jettison its failed establishment. Himal editor @romangautam writes from #Kathmandu https://t.co/UtRD9Jsjlw

Kantipur office is ablaze.

Today I spoke to dozens of protesters. Most of them were not GenZ. All of them were angry. But that anger was misdirected. I pulled three journalists from a van that a mob was trying to burn with them inside. "Sab patrakar jhole ho," they kept saying.

For international media: read this excellent report carrying protestor voices on the protests: https://t.co/YW6u4WadZH

Potholes and rough patches are a constant complaint of Long Island drivers. And the poor road conditions aren’t their imagination. Long Island’s local roads are in worse condition than many other areas in the state — with 42% in “poor” or “fair” condition, compared to about 35%

It pays to be a municipal employee on Long Island, especially for those in law enforcement. @BaharOstadan, @joewerk and @anastasiajourno spent months examining what caused the number of employees making $300G to DOUBLE in 2024. https://t.co/yXcCk71Yua
