"Community reporters are professional, daily witnesses to grief and human suffering.” Thank you for this reporting and empathetic storytelling @tinavasquez.bsky.social
Journalists are daily witnesses to grief & human suffering, but newsroom mental health support is still lacking. In 2020, Laura Gómez Rodríguez faced PTSD from covering immigrant & racial justice stories—but instead of help, she got a performance plan. @tinavasquez.bsky.social bit.ly/40Zi82O

“They want everyone to get up in arms and be destabilized and be confused so that we begin to do their work for them. So that we begin to roll back various opportunities and possibilities ourselves in advance. And I think it’s important that we resist that urge.” - @trevellanderson.bsky.social

This is the weirdest presser I’ve ever seen why are you talking directly to the president ostensibly he knows these basic facts? Talk to viewers or reporters? What is happening

Just a reminder that if you’re anywhere near the fires but haven’t received an evacuation order yet, it might be a good idea to charge your devices, pack a go bag — important paperwork, medication, hygiene items, cash, changes of clothes — and come up with a plan for where to go, just in case.
