10/10 move, @NPR well done.
NPR will suspend its use of Twitter, the broadcaster said on Wednesday, a little over a week after the social network designated the organization's account “U.S. state-affiliated media.” Twitter has since changed the label to “Government-funded Media.”

My thanks to @nprscottsimon & the @NPRWeekend team for this beautiful interview.
Both Scott and I tried - and utterly failed - to keep it together.

NPR stands for freedom of speech & holding the powerful accountable. A vigorous, vibrant free press is essential to the health of our democracy.

Women health workers lost ground on equality during the pandemic, according to a new report.
While 70% of the health care workforce around the world is made up of women, they hold only 25% of senior leadership roles. n.pr/40fdVVW

Charles and Jeanne Morris of Bloomington have earned the right to relax in retirement as #BlackHistoryMonth legends and McLean County History Makers. But they're not relaxed.
They're anxious about this moment in American history. wglt.org/local-news/2023-02-… #BloNo @illinoisstateu
Been thinking about this …. and MSU … and that gun violence is the leading cause of death among children and teens in America.

Loved this episode so much for so many reasons including the talking points to reinforce with my kid. Perfect timing for the drive from school to sports.
Controversial manfluencer Andrew Tate is in a Romanian prison, accused of rape and human trafficking. @voxdotcom's @rebexxxxa helps explain why his brand of grotesque misogyny appeals to millions of men. open.spotify.com/episode/1Bf…
