https://t.co/RKEzMromsS check out journalist Kira Kay’s exclusive report for Preserving Democracy

[Phil Robertson @Reaproy]

Journalist Kira Kay speaks to @Pita_MFP, Ice, I-Tim, & other senior @MFPThailand leaders in this amazing PBS reporting about the crisis in #Thailand's politics, & the possible dissolution of the MFP. Excellent, must see TV reporting. https://t.co/C94G2d6XoH

@MarcielScot For those interested in more context and profiles of those impacted by these and similar charges, including facing prison, our PBS in-field piece: https://t.co/LxLMbzp6d4

Thailand's democratically elected MFP was disbanded by the courts today, its 11 leaders banned from politics. We spent time with them this spring, as charges were filed against them for their proposal to amend the country's laws on insulting the monarchy. https://t.co/LxLMbzp6d4

[Phil Robertson @Reaproy]

US Embassy in #Bangkok told @hrw last year that #Thailand dissolving @MFPThailand would cross a "red line" for the US-Thai relationship. Wondering what that actually means today, on the eve of the Constitutional Court decision. Great reporting by Kira Kay https://t.co/C94G2d6XoH

@benkenigsberg Hi Ben, could we send you info on our news-doc, just rolling out, for consideration in your "what to stream" columns? It's a visual and (dare we say) inspirational look at the return of federal park land to Indigenous land management. (Can't DM, non-checkmarked!)

@DCDPR This makes 3 pools closed simultaneously; and we've asked for updates on Wilson, with no response. Will MR be open again by tomorrow? How about Wilson anticipated date?

[The BIR @thebir]

@MayorBowser @DCDPR There's been absolutely no update on Wilson pool since it "closed indefinitely" again 2 weeks ago. Can't reach a customer service rep on phone. Kinda deserve some update at this point, ballpark reopening goal?

[The BIR @thebir]

@DCDPR Update on Wilson please - chance of reopening this week or are we now looking at long term closure?

[The BIR @thebir]

@David_G_Stephen @Delta With you; last month they ruined two days of our (non-profit) filming due to poor decision-making and staffing (weather was only the surface problem). Have heard from no one to discuss the impact on us, despite two messages.

Thank you, @kentmensah for speaking to NYU journalism students in Accra today! Great first introduction to the country and to doing quality global journalism. Folks, give @kentmensah a follow!

@tobyvogel Thank you! We had a fruitful trip to Bosnia this spring, still editing the content. Here is a lovely piece about river activism, across ethnic lines: https://t.co/ZiKuK6I75r

[The BIR @thebir]

@tobyvogel Our NYU journalism students just did a terrific video story examining this trend and one company's work to help reverse it! https://t.co/loxiJEirgF

Last week the EU voted to grant candidacy status to Bosnia. Here is a story produced by our @nyu_journalism students profiling one company trying to move the country forward. Thanks https://t.co/J374yHyQlz, @9grupa @NDIBIH @JourneymanVOD @nyuniversity https://t.co/IxSHWJSfci
