The @NBCNewsGuild is ready to walk out! Unless management changes course, I’ll be joining over 200 @NBCNews, @MSNBC & @TODAYshow colleagues in a one-day work stoppage tomorrow. NBC needs to stop breaking the law, reinstate our colleagues & start bargaining in good faith. https://t.co/GMjvnG13wd

My last piece for TPM: people often assume that as a Black woman it must somehow be easier for me to write about race. I have to say that’s pretty far from the truth! But I also wouldn’t be a good journalist if I didn’t accept the challenge. https://t.co/Z0Oi3gRojF

As we reflect as journalists on covering black people let’s also revise the default term that often precedes any reference to blackness: ‘unarmed’ - an overused cliche that “presumes the first question we should ask about a black jogger is: Was he armed?” https://t.co/Z5N5aqWZGa

"When they knelt — as officers across the country have been doing to show solidarity with demonstrators — the crowd cheered. But protesters soon realized they were kneeling only to put on gas masks."

Revisiting: “We’d been here again and again, but somehow, this felt depressingly the same yet also different. Even older black people, typically stoics from weathering things my generation has not had to, found themselves, to their alarm, crying as well.” https://t.co/FykWljSyEx

This is great for understanding the courtship between Trump and Facebook and how the mythical and sacred “objective observer” trope is routinely abused to gain footing and amplify ideas even when/if their core message is false.

I keep seeing deep legal analyses of Trump's executive order on social media, wondering if it might hurt him and what Twitter might do. But hey, *look* over here. Trump's order has an audience of one: Mark Zuckerberg. And it's already working. New piece. https://t.co/LlSEw5Y7BC https://t.co/eACslcYpkM
