I covered Ghislaine Maxwell's trial from her indictment to her conviction - my report minutes after the jury found her guilty is below.

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.

📺 I’ll always love this story/event. One of many examples of Black creators having a HUGE impact on pop culture.
This episode took MILLIONS of viewers away from CBS during Super Bowl XXVI’s halftime to the point in which it forced the NFL to make big changes for Super Bowl halftime entertainment. 🏈
