A publisher who lays off a reporter whose pen is freezing because she's covering a frigid war zone while dodging missiles is not an editor you want to work for, in a more perfect world
Pinned lizzie johnson @lizziejohnsonnn · Aug 19, 2021 Almost three years ago, my editor called me early one November morning. A wildfire had sparked near a town called Paradise, he said. Could I go? (1/13) 0:02 / 0:10 lizzie johnson @lizziejohnsonnn · 47m I was just laid off by The Washington Post in the middle of a warzone. I have no words. I'm devastated. Quote lizzie johnson @lizziejohnsonnn · Jan 25 Waking up without power, heat, or running water. (Again.) But the work here in Kyiv continues. Warming up in the car, writing in pencil — pen ink freezes — by headlamp.

Thanks to the efforts of @joaquincastrotx.bsky.social and other advocates, the boy in the blue bunny hat—five-year-old Liam Ramos—is home from ICE detention.

But hundreds of kids remain in facilities that are no place for children.

Release them all.

Three panel comic. Panel one: an ant gathering material is walking past a grasshopper playing guitar, relaxing against a tree. The ant says “aren’t you going to prepare for winter?” Panel two: the grasshopper says “man plans and god laughs.” Panel three: the two bugs are sitting around a fire in the dead of winter, wrapped in leaves for warmth.

They lost their paddles and their kayak flipped over and started sinking as it filled with water. Austin's mother realised their best chance of survival was asking her elder son to swim for shore while she tried to keep her other children from drowning "One of the hardest decisions I ever had to make was to say to Austin, "Try to get to shore and get some help, this could get really serious really quickly she told the broadcaster ABC. *I knew he was the strongest and he could do it."
