I'm so proud that one of my first colleagues at @nytimes is honored today with a #Pulitzer. The work I got to do with him celebrates a song I played in marching band! (Which I get to say in the show!) Congratulations @Wesley_Morris we stan https://t.co/C0kaTcFIJw

It’s a Black anthem and the song of every summer.

I was honored to support this team & their excellent reporting. I learned a lot from them & found it really meaningful & moving to work with the sound they’ve gathered & the expertise they’ve developed over many years. Thank u @ninamoini @RihamFeshir @BrandtMPR @JonSCollins
As the #DerekChauvinTrial gets under way, please listen to the new podcast In Front of Our Eyes, launched today by @MPRnews and @APMPodcasts. It builds on years of reporting on police killings and explores how George Floyd's death changed America.

🧵 Sometimes I needed this editor, and now I’d strive to be this editor. Thank you for breaking it down, @glichfield

I haven’t read an academic journal article in a minute, and I’m looking forward to reading this one! @LauraGarbes interviewed many of my friends and colleagues, and I can’t wait to see their words in a scholarly context. 🎓📜

🧐🔍🔎 story checks out
I've always heard women describe frustrating experiences with male doctors, and how they don't feel listened to. Yesterday I got to experience what it's like in real time - because I got to sit beside my wife in a doctor's appointment.
