Hart Island becomes the place where bodies are stored after not being claimed in hospitals overrun by deaths from the Coronavirus (COVID-19). These burials usually happen only once a week but are taking place daily now. https://t.co/PmHdRb6wsk

I took this picture in 2017 and I was up there the next day for the Women’s March. Had they gotten a permit to be on the mall it would have DWARFED Trump’s crowd. Trump hasn’t gotten more popular or led his party to a national win since then. This is his ceiling. He can’t win.

I have been online too much this past week but I have to say that the Peanut development in our nations election for the highest office in the land is just mesmerizing and 2014 me would NOT have believed the course of events leading to it being a “thing.”

This iconic photo is now part of Iranian history, capturing the deep frustration of women with the regime—a powerful statement against repression.

Months ago @emilytgreen came to @propublica with a tip that kidnappings in Mexico were happening at massive scale, right as the US pressured that country to stop migrants heading north. Read one family's account of being held in a chicken coop.

Harvard did a 80-year study on what makes people happy. The conclusion: not money, fame or a splendid career. People are happiest when they have good relationships. Surrounded by people they love. Here is a 20 min talk that I recommend warmly: https://t.co/QNuvlEclJS

The @nytimes covered Trump’s "gig" at McDonald's in at least seven articles but missed this photo by Bucks County Herald freelance photographer Sara Pinkus. Pinkus, a retired bank manager who describes herself as a “photo enthusiast,” made the most telling image of the day.

I’ve seen a number of professional wire and newspaper photos of this event but one I see all over social media. It’s a really important thing to remember that context is huge. Showing the scale of this event with a tiny bit is enough & backlit is lovely, it removes distraction.

When I was first starting out in my photojournalism career, features at The Baltimore Sun was all I photographed. I covered all the concerts, festivals, and weird little Baltimore stories that were only found in the features department. What a sad, sad, sad direction this paper
The Baltimore Sun dissolved its features department Monday, reassigning its staff to news departments – the first time since at least 1888 the newspaper won’t have even one reporter dedicated to covering the city’s cultural life.
