Hey DC - You're allowed to take a moment - and you should. We heard the sirens & saw the lights surrounding DCA/Potomac. We worried for friends, families, first responders, and journalists. Yes, we have to work today, but if you need to reflect, pray, or pause, take that moment.
By the end of 2025, research shows a third of U.S. local newspapers will be closed for good. Many remaining are broke and understaffed. But local newsrooms are still a vital force for good in communities across the country. Proof, just in the last year, of what we stand to lose:
The government is eradicating wild horses — using helicopters to chase them into “trap sites.”
Unless we end this barbaric practice, wild horses will disappear forever.

@LokayFOX5 It’s almost up there with the 1998 classic “they’ll have to carry me out of here in a pine box,” remarks made two days before quitting Ole Miss to head over to Auburn. . .
Music is the greatest healer that I know. My @sxsw experience with @standtogether music and @spinmag was what I call a hit record. Thrilled to meet the legend @killermike - a fellow criminal justice reform advocate and amazing artist. Let the choir sing - it’s time for healing!

We need to talk #PepperSpray. It's a BEAR REPELLANT. Feels like rubbing hot chiles in your eyeballs. The cops sprayed it into Tyre's face REPEATEDLY -- and then brutalized him for the HUMAN RESPONSE he was having while being tortured to death. #TyreNichols#Memphis
🔔 T-MINUS 5 HOURS 🔔 until @cafemomentum Ambassadors and @AliceMarieFree take to Instagram Live to share what "Justice" means to them, and much more. #YJAM
