@AlexRoseWriter Hi Alex, I'm a producer at CNN, and I'm trying to get in touch with you for a segment we're doing. Can you let me know how I can reach you?

Damyantiben Pithadiya’s death notice was one of more than 240 spread across seven pages in a local newspaper in Rajkot one day in late April — a fourfold increase from early this year. Acc to the govt, the number of deaths from covid on that day was 12. https://t.co/9kldyZXUyn

C.E.O. pay remained sky high during the pandemic even though many companies lost money & millions lost their jobs & struggled to make ends meet.

From 1978 to 2019, pay for typical workers rose by a mere 14%. But for C.E.O.'s it skyrocketed by 1,167% https://t.co/PdPciTkblw

Money can buy a family less exposure to Delhi’s deadly pollution — but only to a point. Air purifiers and well-sealed rooms can do only so much. Please look at our data on the inequality of air pollution.

Increasingly being forced to identify as a Hindu or a Muslim while reporting on the ground these last few weeks.

Heart-breaking.

The great @GOAnand becomes the first woman of color to be named dean of Berkeley J School. And in a fierce and righteous statement, commits to raising $100 million to make the school tuition free. Read the whole thing...

Here's a piece of journalism trivia that seems topical right now: The skinny reporter's pad we all use was invented by Claude Sitton, who covered civil rights in the 1960s, because he needed to hide his notebooks to avoid being beaten up. https://t.co/jWwIyf20PK

And now, from Kenya, a grim, enraging reality: Police are killing people faster than covid as they enforce a curfew meant to protect the public. As one activist put it, they are "killing in the name of corona." The death toll rises every night.

Assam, where protests against the contentious Citizenship law started first, last year, is seeing its close to 2 million people in a state of limbo. Those left out of the laborious citizenship register. https://t.co/t606EtL6aj

One of the most painful lessons of this crisis is the extent to which America cannot or will not identify with Chinese pain. Every horror that is happening here happened first in Wuhan. We covered it. Many people did not care.

@Sarah_Chayes Hi Sarah, I'm a producer with CNN, and I'm hoping to talk to you about a segment we're doing. Can you let me know where I can reach you? Thanks!

The "Turkish model" on how to annul an election you just lost:
First, reject the results, and blame the opposition for conspiracy.
Then ask for recounts, make them linger for weeks.
Finally, declare: "You see, there is too much controversy in this election, we need a new one!"

An unprecedented # of British young people are being sent into university, but they graduate into forbidding market conditions: stratospheric housing costs, wage stagnation, tuition debt. Capitalism doesn't look as good to them as it did to their parents. https://t.co/pI0i0O5u86

@kassmorganbooks I feel it was only five minutes but likely five uncomfortable minutes for our dinner companion

Delighted that @nidanajar let our conversation about Me Too and shitty media men go on for 40 minutes before letting me know that the man at the next table was Louis C.K.
