🧵On March 29, Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich was detained in Russia during a reporting trip.
He remains in a Moscow prison.
We’re offering resources for those who want to show their support for him. #IStandWithEvan wsj.com/Evan

Tonight I spotted @wsj reporter @willmauldin in Kyiv covering the @SecBlinken visit and wearing a Free Evan button. Evan Gershkovich continues to be held by Russia, arrested while doing his job. For more information on Evan: wsj.com/news/evan-gershkovic…

Congratulations to US Open champion, @CocoGauff! We couldn’t be prouder of you on and off the court - and we know the best is yet to come.
I’m rarely here these days but thought I’d drop in to share that my forthcoming book Lovers in Auschwitz is on sale at Barnes & Noble for reward members! B&N is chipping in for 25% only the next 2 days… It’s a story about optimism, grit, and perseverance. Link on bio.

The @WSJ will leave no man left behind.
Today marks 100 days since Evan Gershkovich was wrongfully detained by Russia and accused of espionage.
He did nothing wrong. We continue to demand his immediate release.

Based on my 2019 @NYTMetro article nytimes.com/2019/12/08/nyreg… -- the true story of two Holocaust survivors who fell in love in Auschwitz, only to be separated upon liberation and lead remarkable lives apart following the war—and then find each other again more than 70 years later.
So...I'm running the 2023 NYC Half to help raise money to fund cancer research -- I'd be honored to have your support! F cancer! Here's to a healthy, happy 2023 to all!! xoxo fundraise.cancerresearch.org…
Missing the good old masking days when my kids weren’t cycling thru colds, sore throat, fever, foot and mouth, pink eye, & all of the above every. single. week.
And here we go again. I was literally just reading about the pogroms of 1918-1919 in @Veidlinger 's book, "In the Midst of a Civilized Europe" And here we are again, again, and again, in the midst of a civilized USA. When does it end?

First half of the semester at @columbiajourn is done! I’ve learnt so much during the Reporting class and met some awesome aspiring journalists. Thanks @kblankfeld and @duylinhtu!
