Millions of news stories have been published about Bezos' wedding. Don't read them! Instead, read this *fantastic* essay by Vanessa Veselka about trying to organize Amazon in the 1990s https://t.co/FwHfhY7Vt1

"We put our bodies in-between bears and the public."

[More Perfect Union @MorePerfectUS]

Fired Forest Service workers are warning that park visitors could get hurt after DOGE fired 3,400 of them.

These workers put their bodies between visitors and bears, perform evacuations, and provide first aid.

Now they've been fired, lost housing, and don't know what's next.

Pitch: A version of this with non-powerful people in local media.

If anyone knows about the state of news, it's a local reporter juggling 2 stories they want to do, 7 stories an editor forced on them, & learning the latest tech fad — all while underpaid & flirting with layoffs

Is anyone else fascinated by chaplains? For @latimes I interviewed circus performers about their bond with a 100 year old ministry of the Catholic Church https://t.co/kqBafh4z07

Important to bear witness to the people facing the horrors reported in this piece: “If you have someone with power over someone with vulnerability, and they use that power to financially benefit themselves, you have a situation ripe for trafficking.” https://t.co/8wb1kX5BzB

@ryjodo I'm so sorry! We are not made to live like this and must find more ways to communicate with each other. Thanks for posting about this!

[Gina Ryder @byginaryder]

@ryjodo It is so brutal! We need to declare a day of repair where messages of amends go out to all!

@samdylanfinch Hi Sam! I wanted to get in touch about something. Would it be OK to ask you to follow me so I can DM you? Thank you!

May 3 is #WorldPressFreedomDay – but for whom? The Federal Bureau of Prisons bans incarcerated people from being journalists & most states have banned them from being paid for their work. These writers, and others, are doing it anyway. Join them May 3: https://t.co/vRmWqciYLh

@Sarah_Smarsh @ScribnerBooks YES! Can't wait, Sarah! Congrats!
