THREAD: Spoke to a dozen of šŖš¬rescue workers, locals, CEOs, maritime experts and former captains to unpack exactly how that ship on the #SuezCanal was freed in less than 1 week for @NBCNews.

Iāve edited enterprise stories on a wide range of topics, from criminal justice and climate change to the war in Gaza. While media attention was focused on student protest over the war, I edited the first US deep dive about crowdfunding to flee it.

NBC News laid me off Thursday, as part of a move away from investigative projects to more breaking news. Itās an unfortunate shift, at a time when investigative reporting is so vital. Iām now looking for new opportunities to do that work and will be at NICAR to connect in person.

This story has been living rent free in my mind ever since I read this 2016 Vice article .... Years later 19 million low-income women in the U.S. live in areas where they struggle with reasonable access to birth control. vice.com/en/article/i-went-tā¦

@DashaBurns looks at the phenomenon and initiatives on this year's ballot to protect access.
"When you can't control what's happening with your body or the care that your body can receive, it's a devastating feeling of powerlessness."
