Every woman journalist I know has a MeToo story we couldn’t publish because the legal risks were strangling.
full disclosure i’ve never personally reported on sexual abuse by famous men, but i know based on some previous experiences that it’s ridiculously difficult to publish allegations against someone who isn’t even famous because you want to avoid a lawsuit whenever possible

Anyway, everyone is allowed to be sad and some time to process that someone they admired may well be awful.

You don’t have to know the person to feel bad about it. It’s an awful story with real injuries.

If you're anywhere near an uncontrolled fire, be smart, prep what you want to save now, and evacuate before it becomes life-or-death. Don't wait for some alert on your phone. It may come too late or not at all. #PalisadesFire #SunsetFire #EatonFire

Shoutout to the Los Angeles Times reporters who are doing essential journalism under very difficult circumstances.

They’ve dropped their paywall, but their ongoing coverage is a good reminder of why local newsrooms need support — and what we lose when those outlets are hollowed out.

More than 2,000 structures have burned and at least five people are dead in wildfires burning across L.A. County. Red flag warnings remained in effect for Los Angeles County and much of Ventura County...

as LA is burning, a swath of the country is recovering from an ice storm, Alabama is preparing for up to 6” of snow and I’m praying for the TX power grid, a reminder:

we don’t need climate action just for future generations, we need it now.

the climate crisis is here, all around us

These extraordinary photos of the LA fires have been shared widely on social media, often without crediting the photographer.

These are all the work of Ethan Swope, an LA-based photojournalist working for AP.

Thinking about the calls to support independent media and I have to say the Black press really ought to be included in these appeals. Outlets like the Washington Informer, Dallas Weekly, New York Amsterdam News, and the Dallas Post Tribune do valuable work.

Heard a rumor circulating among SAG-AFTRA members that the WGA “finally figured out their deal when writers put pressure on the union to find a solution.”

This is 10000% WRONG.

And this rumor is unionbusting b.s. Here’s why:🧵
