If you care about the direction of the country you can't just ignore Tucker Carlson and Fox News and hope for the best. Without social media amplification, Fox influences millions of Americans who look to it as their guiding political light. Ignoring it won't make it go away.
We are heartbroken over this news at KBIA. Aviva was a recent graduate of the Missouri School of Journalism and was a reporter and producer at KBIA as a student. She was an incredible person and had so much good left to do. https://t.co/zQeDQ5NexP
Gutted by this news. Devastated the world needlessly has to say goodbye to a sweet, wonderful person & a truly brilliant, tough reporter. Our world & our city is worse because of this loss. Aviva, this is so unfair. You are so missed & we won’t forget you.

Now is the time for police reform—including the Cost of Police Misconduct Act. It would:
-Let the public know about ALL allegations of police misconduct
-Track the price of lawsuit judgments and settlements
Shedding light on this darkness is a critical step in spurring reforms.
Tomorrow could bring some resolution to how we honor Martin Luther King Jr. in #KansasCity.
@KCMOParks Board plans to vote on a measure that would rename parts of Volker, and Swope & Blue Prkwys after the civil rights leader.

25 years ago, the US Supreme Court ruled that cops could use any pretext (read: lie) to stop a car to search it & courts would not secondguess their motivations—race or otherwise. Car stops of Black & Brown people exploded. Congress & state legislatures can & must change this.
