Love when media people go to the Midwest and treat it like they’re an anthropologist in a foreign land lmao

Thanks to the skill and persistence of @POTUS, @VP, and our allies, Paul Whelan, Evan Gershkovich, Alsu Kurmasheva, and Vladimir Kara-Murza are being released from Russian custody. It’s a tremendous diplomatic achievement, and we’re grateful that they’ll be back home with their families where they belong.

Loved chatting with students @sophfuji @bryanhpchiang @isabelle_levent @siddrrsh on how Silicon Valley's AI boom has found traction on Stanford's campus, too.
They say this new wave has democratized who gets to talk about AI— and who gets to innovate.

as part of our millennial world series here at @BusinessInsider, I've been covering just how much $ millennials in the US spend on childcare. here, a millennial mom pays over $22,000 annually — and that's after she left her job to care for her youngest businessinsider.com/day-care…

🚨WE WON! 🥳‼️
We have a tentative agreement on a contract that will give our members more money and job protections and resolve our ULP.
Our strike is over - we’re going back to work tomorrow!🎉
ALT Insider Union members smiling and holding up picket signs, text in view say INSIDER ON STRIKE, WE’RE ON ULP STRIKE
it's in everyone's best interest to listen to @stokessamanthaj 🤠
Hi! It’s day 11 of @InsiderUnion being ON STRIKE. You know what that means — NO CLICKS, NO LINKS, NO TRAFFIC to insider dot com. Don’t cross our digital picket line!
Don't cross the digital picket line pls, the White House just apologized for it! Check out @BizOutsiderPub instead for this red hot scoop from @metzgov 🔥🔥🔥

we're at the table…where r u?
Hey @nichcarlson @hblodget @BLPeng , today is my four-year anniversary at Insider, and I'm on strike. I wish I could be celebrating the career I've created here, but instead, I'm asking you to get your reps back to the table to ACTUALLY bargain.

I acknowledge that bosses have the right to withhold pay when we withhold our labor.
Last year, it took insider 2+ months to fix my paychecks after I got a raise.
When we walked out a few months ago, it took management six days to dock our pay stubs.
Really speaks volumes.

While we hold our contract ratification vote today, we are standing with the more than 250 @InsiderUnion journalists who are on ULP strike. Members across @nyguild stand strong together. @hblodget @nichcarlson it is time to stop breaking the law and settle a fair union contract!
✊
Solidarity with my colleagues @InsiderUnion! 💙 Ways to support our ULP strike:
1) Do not click on any Insider content.
2) Picket with my fellow reporters in NYC at 1 Liberty Plaza!
3) Donate to our fund: bit.ly/SupportInsiderUnion

There are 2 stories on my byline today that I wrote before @InsiderUnion went on strike. All of our members were working diligently yesterday to get content we care about done, in hopes that it wouldn't come to this. Avoid clicking, please.
