If you know anything about sex trafficking, then you know stories like these require dredging up immense trauma. It’s important for survivors to know they’re not alone and all of us to know the problem is deep and persistent #sextrafficking

[Joseph Charpentier @charpentierjp]

This is a story I worked on since early July. A tough one, but hits at the heart of community journalism imho #MissingPersons #MissinginMaine #NamUs https://t.co/2IQ2uT0LnW

The final half-hour of the meeting devolved into a heated debate over accusations that a quorum of councilors recently met outside of the council chamber  — at The Cage bar on Ash Street — and discussed city business, which is against state law.

@elonmusk A simple “X” in comic sans, 72 point font. This should be obvious. Also, what is this in context to, again? What am I getting involved in?
