1/ ProPublica collected handwritten letters in mid-January from children held at the Dilley Immigration Processing Center, the same facility where 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos was taken.

Hundreds of kids are still detained.

We’ll let the children’s words speak for themselves. 🧵

2.제목을 '전투'라고 해석하는 분들과 '투쟁'이라고 읽는 분들의 감상 차이가 꽤 클 것 같다.
3.세대와 목표에 따른 여러 갈래의 사회운동 방식들, 그 안의 결점과 모순들, 열렬한 투사와 현실적 안전의 마찰 등 복합적 이야기가 매우 촘촘히.

This just shows a fundamental misunderstanding of how to do news. Data helps, but data doesn’t tell a reporter to spend a years-long investigation into child labor or an editor to place staff in a country on the brink of war. What exactly does Bezos think WaPo’s “journalistic mission” is?
Jeff Bezos' statement, his first since last week's layoffs: "The Post has an essential journalistic mission and an extraordinary opportunity. Each and every day our readers give us a roadmap to success. The data tells us what is valuable and where to focus."

ICE told nurses this Minneapolis man “purposefully ran headfirst into a brick wall.”

What actually happened is that they pulled him from a car, beat him so viciously with a steel baton that he had 8 skull fractures, 5 life-threatening brain hemorrhages, and couldn’t remember he had a daughter.

In any college course requiring some visual communication analysis, or communication in any capacity, these students deserve an F grade. Unless they claim they followed the Bible, of course.
Take a look at this insane image the Illinois College Republicans posted and then read their statement about how they're not trying to excuse or glorify violence.

Gonna beg media not to just repeat Trump's obviously bullshit framing in the headlines. Tell readers the truth in the headlines.
Alternatives:

"Trump Says Kennedy Center Needs Renovation, Despite Recent $250M Renovation"
Breaking news: President Trump said that the Kennedy Center could temporarily close for roughly two years to undergo construction.

Some years ago, RottenTomatoes was full of culture warriors who didn't watch the movie but poured endless empty criticism.

Then RT started 'verified audience,' and only ticket buyers got to pitch in.

Now, [Melania] is full of culture warriors who buy the ticket and pour endless empty praise.
