Okay, it’s gone public. I’m comfortable saying this. The new owners of KOMO Newsradio laid off most of their reporters and editors. They are great journalists, producers, and board operators. I’m happy to connect you with them. Truly a bad day for Seattle journalism.

"Work experts have warned for years that the combination of baby boomer retirements, low birthrates, shifting immigration policies and changing worker preferences is leaving U.S. employers with too few workers to fill job openings." wsj.com/economy/jobs/labor-s…

I was let go from my job at WVPB last week following threats from DHHR about my reporting on DHHR’s treatment of people with disabilities.

My team met with @Twitter today. They told us that they're not going to retaliate against independent journalists or researchers who publish criticisms of the platform. Less than 12 hours later, multiple technology reporters have been suspended. What's the deal, @elonmusk?
Journalists who cover Elon Musk have been suspended on Twitter tonight: @Donie O'Sullivan from CNN, Aaron Rupar and the Washington Post's @drewharwell. Rupar tells me he has "no idea" why it happened.

I created this quick doc to track all journalist twitter accounts suspended tonight. Please reply to this thread with any I’m missing or any that are reinstated. 🙏🏽 THANKS. docs.google.com/spreadsheets…

I don’t know what happened here but if @elonmusk doesn’t fix this within the hour with an explanation by morning, I’ll be on Capitol Hill tomorrow demanding that he be hauled in front of Congress.

Data show us where our actions have the greatest impact. Our Global Skills Initiative report shows that skilling is one area where we can help more people get better jobs. That’s why we are committing to help train and certify 10 million people by 2025. linkedin.com/pulse/announcin…

I do not like telling fans how to fan, but this is not how you fan. I would also remind you that your favorite #Mariners see this garbage too. A great way to show Paul appreciation would be to donate to "Sewald's Strikeouts 4 Kids." Info in link. babycorner.org/news/sewalds-….
Yesterday sucks. There's no arguing that. What's worse is that there are so many hurtful and negative people out there that went after Paul Sewald that he actually deleted his Twitter. I understand being upset, but that's disgusting.

It’s ok to compliment #Hattiesburg without disparaging #Jackson. Yet, the governor of the whole state of #Mississippi said this. #msleg #msgov
"It is a great day to be in Hattiesburg. "It's also, as always, a great day to not be in Jackson." —@tatereeves
