The #NABJ Family deeply mourns the loss of legendary @wsbtv news anchor & longtime member @JovitaMoore. Moore battled with brain cancer & inspired many on her journey. Her legacy of kindness, commitment to her craft, and reaching back to help the next generation will live on.🕯️

Rain totals could range from 1"-4", with the highest amounts in NJ. A shift closer to the coast would bring more rain, while a shift further off the coast would mean more limited impacts. Rain starts later today and continues through Wednesday AM #pawx #dewx #njwx @phl17

There was something special about him. A quiet intensity. He was SO good in every single role. He studied his craft. He also expanded the view of what a same gender loving man looked like in the roles he played. Michael K Williams will be deeply missed.

ON THIS DAY: 100 years ago, 300 people died in one of the biggest attacks of racial violence and domestic terrorism in American history. The 1921 Black Wall Street Massacre destroyed over 35 blocks of a predominantly black neighborhood in Tulsa, Oklahoma. abcn.ws/34xJsal

"I'm here live. I'm not a cat." A lawyer logged into the 394th Judicial District with a cat filter on and couldn't turn it off. This may be the funniest video I've seen this year.
