@nytimes Wonderful. Another non-Jew speaking for Jews. Tell us what it means to be Black, while you're at it.

[Patricia Borns @PatriciaBorns]

With a heavy heart I cancelled my subscription to @nytimes. It was once true north for me as a journalist and a reader but has become unrecognizable from the outlet I loved. Looking for alternatives -- got one to recommend?

@SenSchumer With all due respect, Senator, it is their war, not ours. I understand why you're doing this. It is searingly painful to see the narratives of antisemitism rage like a wildfire across the world. But it won't stop until both sides conclude they want two states. Even then.

The farm I briefly worked on in the #USVI went up in flames this month, lit by pure hatred. See the message at the end. There are people I disagree with, disrespect, and even hate deeply, but this? No paradise here. https://t.co/7hAApD6khB

Really disturbing.

Casey DeSantis Florida's First Lady makes a racist fashion statement. Black babies as alligator bait was a theme in racist Florida humor of the early 1900s. It's an inside joke. If you are not from Florida, you may not get it. She does. Do you?

#Florida is home to five of the 10 most dangerous cities in the nation when it comes to flood, fire, wind and heat risks. So come on down and join us! It's paradise! https://t.co/OYuExpb07w

Hey, remember back when #Florida @GovRonDeSantis promised to fix our toxic algae bloom problem and then didn't?

Shocking footage of a young child hanging from the arms of a detained woman through the barred door of a truck in the Dominican Republic has generated outrage in the country. https://t.co/Z82rHiZI26

Happy #GannettGreed strike day! The @swflnewsguild will be cleaning Bonita Beach in protest of the fact that we still don’t have a contract after bargaining for three years. We may not be able to practice local journalism today, but we can still serve our community.

@Feargal_Sharkey We watched Wild Islas to whet our appetite for an upcoming UK hiking trip and became enamored with chalk streams. We'd like to adjust our plans to hike near at least one. Do you know which Wiltshire stream was used to film Attenborough's intro to Freshwater? Many thanks.

Hundreds of staffers at Gannett newspapers across seven states are protesting their company’s leadership and job cuts. https://t.co/XSz2AN03NC

[Sean Sullivan @spsullivan]

A small thing you can do today to support local journalism seems counterintuitive: Don't click on a Gannett website (@northjersey, @AsburyParkPress, etc).

The reporters there are asking us to support their walkout. They have mine. ✊

[Craig Pittman @craigtimes]

Avoid any Gannett content today.

[The New York Times @nytimes]

Hundreds of journalists for Gannett, the largest newspaper chain in the U.S., walked off the job on Monday, accusing the company’s chief executive of decimating its local newsrooms, and demanding a change at the top.

@StrongTowns In Florida mixed use buildings are never small. The rallying cry of mixed use has spawned leap-frog developments that in no way function as neighborhoods, and wrecked those few true neighborhoods that do exist. No thanks.

[Patricia Borns @PatriciaBorns]

I've seen some strange #mixeduse #developments, but this.
