The front page of tomorrow's @dailytarheel –

I shed many tears while typing up these heart-wrenching text messages sent and received by UNC students yesterday. Our campus was on lockdown for more than three hours.

Beyond proud of this cover and the team behind it.

Stay in line! If you are at a polling place right now and there aren't ballots or there is another problem, our election experts say to STAY IN LINE.

He’s destroying his company.
He’s destroying lives and livelihoods.
He’s destroying local news.

Today, we’re walking off the job in protest of Gannett CEO Mike Reed, in solidarity with our union comrades across the country.

@AbbeyMarshall All the time. I left last year and I still feel guilty about jumping ship.

Today is election day and you know what that means! We are finally released from the neverending nightmare of political attack ads clogging our feeds and minds—
*ahem* I mean
Here is some info about voting in Akron and Cleveland:

@twatts_up Imagine defending the landlords in this case. Someone literally died!

@twatts_up Always happy to be of service

This is ridiculous. They deleted 30-plus seasons, basically anything before Season 39, overnight. This is maddening.

The change comes after HBO Max announced earlier this week it would remove 36 titles from its lineup to prepare for its merge into a single streaming platform with Discovery Plus.

@AbbeyMarshall I’m so sorry, Abbey. Let me know how we can help!

[Jes Holbrook @JesHolbrook]

It was such an honor to get my first tattoo as part of this flash sale.

Thanks, @AbbeyMarshall, for the amazing coverage!

“I feel like we’re doing all we know how to do, which is tattoo," said Black Amethyst’s owner Erica Rose. "We’re just trying to turn that into something that could be helpful and beneficial.”

🧵 Starting a thread 🧵
These stories are from reporters on the ground in Akron covering the protests surrounding the fatal police shooting of 25-year-old Jayland Walker. @beaconjournal

[Molly Walsh @mollywalshCLE]

I keep coming back to this video. @Akron_Police is this blue light always lit at HQ? If not, why now? Why last night? Protestors were visibly upset seeing it and tensions escalated after coming to HQ, were you hoping to get a reaction?

[Abbey Marshall @AbbeyMarshall]

BREAKING: Akron issues 9 pm curfew.

I’ll be downtown covering protests tonight. Follow along. @beaconjournal

[Amanda Gorman @TheAmandaGorman]

Schools scared to death.
The truth is, one education under desks,
Stooped low from bullets;
That plunge when we ask
Where our children
Shall live
& how
& if

[Karie Spaetzel Loeser @karieloeser]

@HiltonHotels @Home2Suites see above complaint about your Ridley Park, Pa, location.

[Karie Spaetzel Loeser @karieloeser]

@HiltonHonors really upset to get our hotel and find out you don’t have a pack and play to accommodate our 13-month-old. And by the time we found out it’s too late to find another safe sleep alternative. This is unacceptable. We don’t co-sleep so not sure what my options are.

[Jes Holbrook @JesHolbrook]

I love you, Pączki Day.

Thanks to Sweet Mary’s in @downtownakron for these beauties.

#Bridgestone Americas Inc. is investigating a Feb. 27 breach of its network that forced the company to disconnect computers and send workers home early from its U.S. production facilities. #TireBusiness
