"Here's how people in Minneapolis responded to George Floyd's death," Tucker Carlson says, and then he shows citizen videos of looting and fires instead of the protest movement that swept across the country two months ago this week. So insulting to the people of Minneapolis.

At a perilous time for Pittsburgh #journalism, my admiration in boundless for @PGNewsGuild members. Treated for 3+ years as chattel, they are laser-focused on their commitment to their calling. Courageous and true professionals. I am humbled to be their colleague and friend.

In March of 2016 I led @Poynter event to celebrate @PulitzerPrizes centennial. Keynote by Rep. John Lewis, who encouraged us to "make good trouble." At end gospel choir singing "We Shall Overcome." Many in audience in tears. Someone grabs my hand. I look up. It's John Lewis.

Simon & Schuster just published the back cover of the book – Trump's niece Mary writes, "Today, Donald is much as he was at three years old: incapable of growing, learning, or evolving, unable to regulate his emotions, moderate his responses, or take in & synthesize information."

New, alarming reporting by CNN's @CarlBernstein: Trump's handling of highly classified calls with foreign heads of state helped convince some senior US officials "that the President himself posed a danger to the national security of the United States." cnn.com/2020/06/29/politics/…

Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany, with more dishonest denial from the White House, says they’re aware that there are “embers” of coronavirus that need to be extinguished.
It’s more like a raging forest fire.

This is awful. @shmalexgordon and @AWaltzCP are important to this city, and the health of @PGHCityPaper is necessary.
Help them dig out of this hole and get everyone back to work.
This has been the hardest day I've ever had at @PGHCityPaper, and I'm asking for your support so we can keep going

AP’s style is now to capitalize Black in a racial, ethnic or cultural sense, conveying an essential and shared sense of history, identity and community among people who identify as Black, including those in the African diaspora and within Africa.

The @nytimes is observing Juneteenth as a paid holiday this year. We have much more work to do on racial equity, but I appreciate the gesture from management. Hopefully it’s a sign of more meaningful change to come.
