"Black men who jogged in White neighborhoods where they lived reported incidents of police being called, neighbors scurrying to the other side of the street, receiving disgruntled looks, & seeing the shutting of screen doors as they passed." #AhmaudArbery

With nearly 10,000 South Carolinians dead of COVID-19, Gov. Henry McMaster says @VP Harris should go to the US-Mexico border (as he did recently) instead of promoting the COVID-19 vaccine in his state.

SC ranks 42nd in vaccinations, @wspittman writes: https://t.co/sJ5U7OxyRJ

Mississippi, where the White House has not announced plans for a high-level visit, is last among all 50 states with only 44.8% of its adult population partially vaccinated. https://t.co/sJ5U7OxyRJ

BREAKING: The Louisiana GOP has censured Sen. Bill Cassidy, a Republican, for voting to convict Donald Trump.

Former Sen. Mary Landrieu, the Democrat Cassidy defeated in 2014, praised her GOP successor as "a true patriot" for his vote. https://t.co/x4ngGXnsat

BREAKING: Sen. Bill Cassidy, a Louisiana Republican, voted to convict Donald Trump today.

White men, White women & Black women in predominately White areas are far more likely to engage in physical activity in their neighborhoods.

Black men living in those areas, though, are far less likely. The death of #AhmaudArbrey helps explain why. https://t.co/y6xYP0OJpr

Excellent news. Ahmaud may get justice after all. Funny how it only took the GBI one day to determine this was murder while PD looked the other way

[Ashton Pittman @ashtonpittman]

For over two months, local prosecutors did not arrest or charge Gregory or Travis McMichael for Ahmaud Arbery's slaying.

After just one day investigating the case, the Georgia Bureau of Investigation arrested and charged the men with murder and aggravated assault.

[Deep South Voice @DeepSouthVoice]

BREAKING: Georgia's top law enforcement agency has charged two men with the murder of Ahmaud Arbery, a 25-year-old black man who was jogging when officials say two white men chased him down with firearms and killed him.

My husband, @wspittman, is superman when it comes to learning skills. In mere months, he's become an emerging data wiz AND he's learned how to write news reports (I spent four years and thousands on the latter).

We're both passionate about news+human rights. Read his latest:
