Posted By Jennifer Fumiko Cahill on Sun, May 29, 2022 at 2:21 PM

NCJ Preview: Redacted Reports and Piping Hot Pupusas
Posted By Jennifer Fumiko Cahill on Sat, Apr 23, 2022 at 8:00 AM
The Journal finally got the requested report on the investigation into deeply misogynistic, violent and dehumanizing messages sent between Eureka Police Department officers centering on Rodrigo Reyna-Sanchez and Mark Meftah. But its heavily redacted text reveals more about obstacles to transparency than it does about the texting scandal. We'll talk about what all those blank spaces tell us. On a more palatable note, we're also marveling at Pupuseria San Miguel opening in Arcata and the Salvadoran woman who's finally turning the cooking she did to make ends meet into her own business with the help of her son.
