Michelle is an amazing reporter and even better person. Please consider hiring her.
A couple years ago, I wrote this story about protecting your mental health during layoffs: seattletimes.com/seattle-new…
Today, I’ll be re-reading it after I was included in the layoffs at the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. Please feel free to connect if you have job leads or advice. ❤️

I wrote about what might have led to the cancellation of GPB’s Political Rewind and ouster of Bill Nigut & what it means for Georgians: We will be deprived of a bastion of civility and informed discussion ahead of a race for the White House that could hinge on our state. #gapol – at Atlanta, GA

A sad day for Georgians: Bill Nigut says GPB’s Political Rewind (@PoliticsGPB) has been canceled as of June 30, apparently due to budget cuts. For the last nine years, the show has been a home for voters who demand a civil, respectable place to discuss politics & policy. #gapol

Latin American democracies have long been threatened by strongman rulers and militaries hungry for power.

There it is — Bolsonaro endorses his party’s challenge of the October 30 election he lost to Lula. It won’t succeed, but things could still get rocky in coming weeks as pro-Bolsonaro protests continue & some in his party push for radical next steps (more)
