National Geographic videographer, Trip Jennings, was shot in the face by an impact munition in Portland. The round went through the eye of his gas mask, causing eye lacerations, and he was pepper sprayed so bad that the doctor had to wear a respirator. His account posted on FB:
Great story - music docs aren’t always my thing but I respect the heck out of these filmmakers for their research and resourcefulness. https://t.co/tsjB2qn9C3
Hi, @natashaldaly here, taking over the NatGeo Twitter account to talk about captive wildlife tourism—an issue we reported on in May, and the focus of this week’s episode of our podcast, #OverheardNatGeo https://t.co/PoEazwcEvZ
“There’s something wrong,” one school counselor said, “when I’m getting an email offering a free course … learning how to pack wounds and apply a tourniquet.” @aliaemily on the mounting anxiety gun massacres of students and teachers: https://t.co/UAc8ZYLcxD
Cigarette filters are the #1 #plastic trash in the WORLD. Will butts become the next straws? Check out my latest video on how we can solve this. Kudos to @RG_FILMS & @jonahbest for their great work - #PlanetOrPlastic#natgeostaff

This is just so wild to me but not surprising - @DCist reporting 90+ degrees inside multiple metro stations. Think of kids, elderly folks. What's @wmata or @MayorBowser going to do about it?
Just How Hot Are The Metro Stations During This Heatwave? https://t.co/95TnLo8xyU

@AmericanAir Considering how we’ve been treated throughout this process and this pitiful response from “customer service”, I assure you I’ll make every effort to ensure I never fly @AmericanAir again.
So annoyed with @AmericanAir - flight from MIA to DCA was cancelled, stood in customer service line for 2 HOURS - finally got text that we’re on the 1030a flight next day- then told 3mins before the next flight we’re on it. (1/2)
We landed Sunday at midnight. Tuesday @AmericanAir says “we have over 300 bags to deliver” like it’s somehow our fault. You are an airline. Don’t you prepare for this? This shouldn’t surprise you. Finally weds at 12a our bag arrives. (9/?)
Our bag isn’t in baggage claim. @AmericanAir says it’s still in MIA. They will ship it to us tomorrow and like FOOLS we believed them. For THREE DAYS they could not find out bag. What if we had medicine in there? We called AA at least 7 times. (8/?)
So we finally are confirmed to have seats on the @AmericanAir plane (she writes our seat assignments with a pen on our tix) and get to DCA. What an absolutely horrible experience. But it’s not over!!! We get to baggage claims, you know, for our bag. (6/?)
“*IF* I get you on this flight - you sit down. No peeing. No putting bags in the overhead bin. NOTHING. JUST SIT.” in front of all other passengers and crew. Totally unacceptable way to speak to a person, let alone a customer. (6/?)
