Research shows that Black folks suffer PTSD from watching videos of Blacks being killed by police.

It’s a phenomenon called “linked fate”, where we see ourselves and loved ones in the place of the victim.

Be careful watching the Tyre Nichols murder video. Protect your mind.

Poynter conducted more than 30 workshops last year about managing journalism stress and trauma.

Whoever is running the @NESpower social media channels needs to confirm ASAP whether or not the agency is actively doing rolling blackouts. This is comms 101, people. 🙄In these deadly cold temps, citizens need to know if this is an actual outage or a planned, brief interruption.

An astonishing number of Republicans and former Trump aides have calmly, factually testified under oath that the entire country was put at risk by the front-runner for the 2024 Republican nomination.

Most Republicans are keeping their heads down, but @JeremyFaison4TN came out in defense of teachers. 13/

What an absolute disgrace this wannabe dictator is. Only changing his tune after it’s obvious public opinion goes against Putin.

Trump also did an interview with Fox. Asked if he had a message for Putin, Trump responded: "I have no message."

I can't get this line out of my head: "When you will be attacking us, you will see our faces--not our backs, but our faces."

@DSCdianne @NESpower Same here. We are in Villages of Brentwood across OHB from you guys. Also without power since 3:30am and we and other neighbors have reported the outage, yet it also is not reflected on the map.

If Ahmaud’s family had not pushed…

If people had not protested…

If the video had not been released…

If it had been left up to the Glynn County, GA police and D.A.’s office…

This case wouldn’t have even gone to trial.

But people cared.

And people acted.

Fox News calls for the rollback of veterans benefits in Illinois. They are outraged to discover disabled veterans pay less or no property taxes.

(See how it works?)
