The front page of tomorrow's @dailytarheel – I shed many tears while typing up these heart-wrenching text messages sent and received by UNC students yesterday. Our campus was on lockdown for more than three hours. Beyond proud of this cover and the team behind it.

This is ridiculous. They deleted 30-plus seasons, basically anything before Season 39, overnight. This is maddening.

I keep coming back to this video. @Akron_Police is this blue light always lit at HQ? If not, why now? Why last night? Protestors were visibly upset seeing it and tensions escalated after coming to HQ, were you hoping to get a reaction?

@HiltonHonors really upset to get our hotel and find out you don’t have a pack and play to accommodate our 13-month-old. And by the time we found out it’s too late to find another safe sleep alternative. This is unacceptable. We don’t co-sleep so not sure what my options are.
