A remarkable piece of journalism from Nina Martin, who interviewed Shyamala Gopalan Harris 17 years ago, in 2007 — and dug up a transcript of their lunch conversation after Kamala Harris secured the Democratic nomination. (Shyamala died from colon cancer in 2009, at age 70.)

Harris is running as the 1st post-media president. It's the media's own fault! Instead of meeting a threat to democracy, careerist clickbaiters have both-sidesed, fact-checked trivia, and asked pointless questions My column on 2024's massive media fail🎁inquirer.com/columnists/att…

Nina Martin Mother Jones Thanks for writing this. Inspiring and wonderful read.

A really thoughtful interview and a good read. "My Lunch With Kamala’s Mom" by Nina Martin Shyamala Gopalan Harris died 15 years ago. She’s still the greatest influence in her daughter’s life. motherjones.com/politics/2024/…

Trump says removing 11 million undocumented immigrants would save the US. In fact, it'd be a disaster. The ex-president's plot would crash the economy, separate children, and hurt the very population he claims to want to uplift—the American worker. motherjones.com/politics/2024/…

NEW: Hospitals around the US are using inaccurate pee-in-a-cup drug tests to report new mothers to child protective services, prompting investigations and even the removal of newborns from their families over false positive results. My latest: themarshallproject.org/2024/09/09/dru…

I really hope people who work in the medical field take the time to read Shoshana Walter ✏️ 's latest for The Marshall Project "Any time you act on a test that’s not 100%, you run the risk of causing more harm than good..." themarshallproject.org/2024/09/09/dru…

Melania Trump is the latest Trump family member to push a conspiracy theory about the attempted assassination of the former president, claiming, "there is definitely more to the story." Why's she doing it? To try to sell her memoir. Mother Jones motherjones.com/politics/2024/…

Even in blue states, there are still so many offices where a woman, woman of color, or LGBTQ+ person has never been elected. I talked with Nina Martin Mother Jones about how our work Emerge to get good women into office has no end date. motherjones.com/politics/2024/…

NEW Mother Jones: Harris laid out the devastating consequences of “Trump abortion bans”—& showed exactly why she's a better candidate on abortion than Biden ever was. Trump, on the other hand, refused to say—TWICE—if he'd veto a national abortion ban. motherjones.com/politics/2024/…

Trump has a fascist concept, and the plan is Project 2025. But note something else screamingly obvious: Harris prepared herself because she thinks like her immigrant mom: hard work will be rewarded in the US. Trump has always thought he would be praised or deified without effort

Trump spent the debate spreading the fever dreams of extremely online racists motherjones.com/politics/2024/…

I'm really excited to announce that, starting Monday, I'll be covering the South as a reporter for ProPublica's regional newsroom. I am a huge fan of their work, so this is a dream job. Especially because I get to stay in Birmingham and continuing reporting on the region.

New data shows the extent to which Florida’s six-week abortion ban has devastated access in the state, Nina Martin reports for Mother Jones motherjones.com/politics/2024/…
