The 2025 race for St. Louis mayor is officially a rematch.

St. Louis Sheriff Vernon Betts went on an unprompted tirade about his successor @2024Alfred, calling him an "idiot" and a "monkey," after kicking a photojournalist from a @STLCityGov auction held on public space.
My latest for @stlpublicradio.

Who owns the RFT? The path to that answer started with a thread on this cursed website, then turned south to Texas.
Ace sleuthing by @JessicaRogen. You can hear her discuss the reporting on @STLonAir today at noon and the 7 PM rebroadcast.

The Veiled Prophet is gone.
According to VP St. Louis, the central figure and namesake of the secret society “is no longer part” of the group.

1/ I've been thinking a lot about the Workhouse lately.
Seven years ago, I went undercover inside the infamous jail for @RiverfrontTimes. Since then, I've gotten a chance to follow the movement that closed it.

Any parents who struggled with transportation on the first day of school in St. Louis today, please contact me at [email protected].
Thanks!
Today marked the first day of school for kids in the St. Louis Public School District.
Officials say they're continuing to manage transportation hiccups and other issues. Here’s how one family marked the first day of classes.

1/ My mementos of Ferguson 2014 fit a small plastic bag near my desk. A taped-together DIY press pass (RIP RFT <3).
And some things police shot at me. A pepper-spray ball. Some wood. A plastic disk I picked off the ground after something (too fast to see) hit me in the knee.

10 years ago in Ferguson, protests sparked an uprising. On the new podcast season @welivehereSTL, @iamcdavis and I tell stories of a movement that's still unfolding -- and still rising.
You haven't heard Ferguson stories like these before.
