This is the best summary I could come up with:
Linda Tirado was in Minneapolis from out of state covering the protests and rioting when police shot her in the face with a rubber bullet, also known as a "less-lethal" round.
She suffered a traumatic brain injury and was blinded in one eye.
According to friends and other journalists, Tirado is now in hospice care, her brain injury chipping away at her health for the last four years.
A friend named Noah Berlatsky wrote this week on his Substack, Everything is Horrible, "She lost her eye, and she's been deteriorating slowly since — and now I guess less slowly.
Jiahong Pan is a local freelance journalist who was with Tirado covering the burning and looting and considers her a mentor.
Last week, Tirado wrote on her Substack, Stories From The Rail, "I feel nothing but joy and peace and pain and fear, all of it all at once so that it bleeds into itself and can only be described as emotion raw and pure and beautiful and perfect, and also fleeting."
