Hey @npr, why no live coverage of what's happening in Afghanistan? If this kind of fast moving situation doesn't warrant live coverage, what does? This hardly feels like the time for re-runs of Wait Wait Don't Tell Me. No shade, @petersagal

For teens in NC, @nprscottsimon, getting "help" for suicide attempts can be traumatizing. It involves involuntary commitment, getting sent to whatever hospital has a bed, getting handcuffed and transported by a sheriff to an often violent place @NPRWeekend

On Monday, this person will be able to get his driver’s license back after 22 years thanks to @Durham_iteam parternship w Durham DA & @ncjustice. He couldn’t afford the $9,000 a private attorney wanted to charge him. More work to do, but celebrating each step forward #iteams

“For so long, we have been shifting the burden onto people who are incarcerated, this was a small way of shifting the burden back to government. It took applicants two minutes of their time, and it took us weeks.” @ryanindurham #iteams @BloombergCities https://t.co/qDGEdD5Hce
