The dismantling of the Kensington encampments was done an hour earlier than was announced and was led by police and sanitation workers and not by outreach workers, as the city said it would be.

Honored to be acknowledged by the @PeabodyAwards for our work in Uvalde.

As long as officials in Texas refuse to give a full account of what happened and take responsibility for why it went wrong, the work continues.

Congratulations to CNN’s @ShimonPro & team for winning a Peabody Award for their relentless months-long reporting in Uvalde, Texas last year. #PeabodyWinner #PeabodyAwards #Peabody83 #StoriesThatMatter https://t.co/RlijGl0igY

Listening to this team from @aldotcom in Alabama talk about their incredible local reporting was the highlight of the @PolkAwards a few weeks ago. In a room full of internationally famous journalists -- their story captivated everyone.

Congrats on the @PulitzerPrizes!

@JohnGonzalez Why do I feel worse after wins

[Matthew J. Friedman @press_friedman]

Buena suerte @leylasantiago!!

We definitely “went there”!!

(And in retrospect, we probably should’ve stopped hiking when we saw the sky in picture # 3, but it *was* kinda fun riding in the back of a pickup truck over a mudslide in torrential rain on the way out)

[Leyla Santiago @leylasantiago]

Welp, it’s my last day at CNN. Taking a break and walking away filled with gratitude. Thank you to the colleagues who helped me tell such important stories and to those who shared their stories with me. It has been quite the journey. Thank you.

Guardians of the Galaxy 3 is an utter triumph. We now have another entry on the list of perfect trilogies, along with LOTR & Before Sunrise (& a handful of other ones). It’s James Gunn’s best work & one of the best comic book movies ever made. I couldn’t love it more.

Hi I’d like to report a violation

[NYC DOT @NYC_DOT]

Blocked bike and bus lanes slow down commutes & make streets less safe. Today we're launching a new web platform where New Yorkers can report problem areas where double-parking and blocked lanes commonly occur due to vehicle loading and unloading.

We sat down with three people who knock on doors for a living in America. They shared some of the dangers they face and the precautions they take. One of them says he was shot at while just trying to deliver packages.
