Journalists have always been on the front lines of the struggle for democracy. That’s why we need to keep standing up for the rights of journalists around the world. Grateful that we have @ColumbiaJourn and people like Jelani Cobb taking on this important work.
This World Press Freedom Day, take a look at @BarackObama's remarks at the @ColumbiaJourn Faultlines: Democracy conference, and why the free press is vital for democracy to survive and thrive.

I can't think of anything more fitting on #WorldPressFreedomDay than advocating for my WSJ colleague Evan Gershkovich, who has been wrongfully detained. We stand with Evan today and every day. Let him come home. #IStandWIthEvan #JournalismIsNotACrime #FreeEvan

The entire press corps membership pushes every day for access, candor and accurate information. And oh yes…a Pentagon press secretary to speak about all those who serve the Constitution and the truth and know they may be asked to lay down their lives. Job is still empty we hear

And one more time for those officials in the back.. we ain’t going nowhere. Our folks come and go, retirements, change of beat, moving away. But we are the enduring legend of a press corps that has been in every combat zone since Normandy. For us “it’s family business” #respect

Russian journalist Roman Anin spoke to VICE World News about being exiled and labelled a “foreign agent” for daring to expose Putin’s regime. Even posting a heart emoji or liking a comment without disclosing his status could see him locked up. trib.al/Jgj3dCO

Social workers are asking as agencies across the U.S. weigh using data-driven tools to help decide which families to investigate. @_sallyho + I found new research that shows some tools could risk hardening racial disparities. apnews.com/article/child-wel…

I think we should all remember those law firms, banks, registration agents and others that helped enable Putin and his inner circle. Swiss bankers? There is blood today on your hands. We need to get rid of the criminal services industry. They make autocracies possible.

Sports Parents: There’s literally NOTHING productive that comes from yelling instructions at your kid from the bleachers, backstop or sidelines.
Take a deep breath, let the coaches coach, and enjoy watching your kid play.

This country can't just keep sending our military to war...there must be aftercare to ease the hurt -the pain-
that war brings.
"And the pain and sacrifice, while tragic, did not strike at the heart of the nation’s identity." From Dan Rather's site "Steady". @DanRather
