At what age did you become active on social media? #illinisocialJ

[Morgan Green @_morgangreen]

@life_gets_hilly @WeRSM This is a really good idea! I’m also not a diehard GoT fan, but the interactive aspect will definitely get current and new watchers really excited for the upcoming season. #illinisocialj

[Morgan Green @_morgangreen]

This is the best account b/c it’s a good distraction from the negatives of social media & never fails to brighten my day. It even helps raise money for dogs just by tweeting. It’s crazy that what started off as a small Twitter account can bring so much positivity. #illinisocialj

[WeRateDogs @dog_rates]

This is Louie. He didn’t want to miss the great bubble migration. Only occurs every few years. Managed to eat a few. 13/10 good boy Louie

I’m surprised to see that @JussieSmollett has been acquitted of all charges. After the amount of hate and backlash I’ve seen on social media, I was sure his career and life was done for. Do you think he deserves to be cleared of his charges? #IllinisocialJ

[Morgan Green @_morgangreen]

I love that @ArianaGrande is using her influence to encourage young voters to utilize their right to vote. Although I’m already registered, I know this will definitely increase the number of registered voters, especially for the younger generation. #thankunextgen #IllinisocialJ

[HeadCount | Register To Vote @HeadCountOrg]

AMAZING NEWS. @ArianaGrande invited us to register voters on her Sweetener tour. Together, we designed #thankunextgen, a program to help Ariana’s fans make their voices heard. Volunteer with us at one of her upcoming shows: https://t.co/sqxDsphgJw

I love the positive exposure that Abdul Aziz, an immigrant, is getting. Without social media, his story would not be spreading so quickly. He definitely deserves the recognition. #illinisocialj

[Niraj Warikoo @nwarikoo]

An immigrant from Afghanistan, Abdul Aziz, is being hailed as a hero for saving lives in New Zealand mosque by rushing at the shooter, scaring him off, say witnesses.
“He went after him, and he managed to overpower him, and that's how we were saved” https://t.co/34U6M2FayK

@obenatar512 You don’t realize how much the presence of social media affects your daily life until it is involuntarily taken away. My entire TL was filled with people complaining about Instagram and Facebook being down. I definitely found myself annoyed at one point, too. #IllinisocialJ

[Morgan Green @_morgangreen]

A life should not be taken b/c an adult who should know not to enter a jaguar enclosure decided to take a stupid risk. Haven’t we seen enough wild animals blamed for being wild on social media? Hopefully these incidences encourage more common sense among humans. #illinisocialj

[Sophia Bush @SophiaBush]

Irresponsible woman hops barrier into jaguar enclosure because she prioritized her selfie over the safety of the animal.

Write an accurate headline. This is going to make people think the animal is to blame, when it’s clearly the woman’s fault.

[Morgan Green @_morgangreen]

@obenatar512 It’s just another example of how more and more companies are making an effort to appear more relatable and relevant on Twitter by commenting on memes, celebs and whatever else people are talking about at the time. It’s a good strategy. #illinisocialj

[Morgan Green @_morgangreen]

I’m surprised to see a company that originated from online news, like BuzzFeed, choose to sell newspapers on the streets of NYC. We’ve only heard of more news outlets going paperless, not the other way around. Will traditional newspapers make a comeback? #illinisocialj

[BuzzFeed @BuzzFeed]

Get your BuzzFeed newspaper in NYC today for all the best of the internet without the internet!

[Morgan Green @_morgangreen]

I’ve never watched an episode of #TheBachelor yet I could tell you everything that happened on this week’s episode just by scrolling thru Twitter. Social media helps spread info rapidly, whether it’s world news or entertainment news, I can always count on this app. #illinisocialj

[Morgan Green @_morgangreen]

@KLacey9_ This footage is crazy. It is heartbreaking that there are people who can hurt someone to this extent and still not feel enough empathy to stop and take responsibility. Hopefully the social media exposure will help the police find some answers. #illinisociaIJ

[Morgan Green @_morgangreen]

Checked the #CohenHearing hashtag to stay updated throughout and after the hearing. I was happy to find that not all the tweets were boring news updates. This is why I use Twitter as my primary source of news. #illinisocialj

[CyanSkies @NandoPrudhomme]

I don't know who this woman is but her facial expressions are hilarious! #CohenHearing #CohenTestimony #Cohen

[Morgan Green @_morgangreen]

People using their social media platforms to promote self-acceptance & inclusivity can be so influential. I wonder if, w/o SM, the younger generations would still be as confident about who they are & how they identify. It seems SM plays a bigger role than we know. #illinisocialj

[Lilly @Lilly]

✅ Female
✅ Coloured
✅ Bisexual

Throughout my life these have proven to be obstacles from time to time. But now I’m fully embracing them as my superpowers.

No matter how many “boxes” you check, I encourage you to do the same x

❤️🧡💛💚💙

@obenatar512 I also saw that the S10 can charge other phones, even iPhones. I’ll never switch to an Android but I have to admit that the S10 is pretty cool. I’m sure we’ll see other brands, maybe even Apple, come out with similar features soon. #illinisocialj

[Morgan Green @_morgangreen]

This is definitely one of the weirder articles I’ve seen about a presidential candidate. I’m not sure why Klobuchar would eat her salad with a comb but to each their own. I’m also impressed with how much info journalists can dig up and manage to turn into a story. #illinisocialj

⚡️ “Dorothy Butler Gilliam talks about her new book on The Daily Show”

https://t.co/6caI2jmeOo

[Morgan Green @_morgangreen]

@Trevornoah inquired about whether or not @DorothyBGilliam believed there would ever be change.

“I never thought I would see a black president.”

Glad to see she was proven wrong!

#Trailblazer #illinisociaIJ

[Morgan Green @_morgangreen]

Hey Twitter! I will be live tweeting @TheDailyShow interview with Dorothy Butler Gilliam, the first female, black Washington Post journalist about her new book #Trailblazer in a few moments. Stay tuned! #illinisocialj

[Morgan Green @_morgangreen]

On a trip to cover integration at Ole Miss for the Washington Post, @DorothyBGilliam couldn’t find a place to stay because they didn’t offer black hotels.

“I slept in a black funeral home. I slept with the dead, Trevor.”
