Good news to end the day: The House just passed my bipartisan TAKE IT DOWN Act and now it will be signed into law! This bill will provide victims of online abuse with the legal protections they need when intimate images — real or deepfake — are shared without their consent.

Dangerously irresponsible of @NYPost to wrongly claim the Trump shooter was a "Chinese man" then update the story without no correction notice. yahoo.com/news/york-post…

Thanks, @RJI -- my latest editorial on the browser extension we are building for the @GlobalPress Style Guide:

I just made a donation to @GlobalPress to support its mission of building independent news bureaus staffed by local, women reporters. Join me in supporting this non-profit newsroom that is transforming international journalism. Thank you! donorbox.org/newsmatch-2023…

Proud of my alma mater @hampshirecolg for calling out New College's "(intension) to limit intellectual exploration, turn back progress toward inclusion, and curtail open discussion of race, injustice, and histories of oppression." Great job, @TeenVogue teenvogue.com/story/new-coll…?

Vulture populations are declining. Here’s why — and why it’s a problem. @LindaMujuru @LILLIANALUANGA bit.ly/47aKWWm

Please watch. One couple interviewed received a letter from the SSA demanding they refund SSA $51,887 within 30 days. Another couple, over $70k. A young man with cerebral palsy was told to pay back benefits his mother received when he was 11 years old. youtube.com/watch?v=sIYsZw…

@AdyBarkan I’m so sorry. Peace be with you and your beautiful family.

Hi all, this is Ady’s wife, Rachael. I’m devastated to share the news that Ady has died from complications of ALS. You probably knew Ady as a healthcare activist. But more importantly he was a wonderful dad and my life partner for 18 years. [1/4]

@pgcornwell I am so sorry for your loss. That foto of you mom is luminous and shows she was a very special person.

My mom died last week. She was my biggest fan and the light of my life. She was a staunch believer in the power of news. So much so that we included this in her obit: “In lieu of monetary contributions, we ask that you hug your loved ones and subscribe to a local newspaper.”

Gov. Pillen (NV) doesn't even read an award-winning report, "Our Dirty Water" because the reporter is from "Communist China." You can hear it yourself at the 1:38 mark. Thanks to @flatwaterfreep for exposing this racist attack on a journalist. flatwaterfreepress.org/governors-comm…

What are the solutions to burnout in journalism? @RJI at @mujschool is conducting a survey of current and former US-based journalists, students, and educators to see what changes newsrooms and J-schools could make to help prevent burnout. lnkd.in/gHjxQrNx

NYC friends! Please join me tonight! RSVP link is below.

@BobFergusonAG A life well lived! What a wonderful woman. Please accept my condolences.

My mom, Betty Ferguson,  passed away peacefully Sunday night.  She fully lived her 95 years raising seven children with her high school sweetheart, our father Murray, teaching special education in our public schools, and enjoying many close friendships. (1/2)
