To those of you who report the news: Do not show me this shooter's face anymore. There is so much more to this story that the murderer. Real families are mourning. Real individuals were murdered. More trends of hate are elevating. Stop showing his face.

@OTTO_Pizza, on election night we had the same smart idea that the entire town of Brookline did: We needed your delicious pies to soothe our anxiety and properly eat our feelings. Thank you for handling the volume and demand so gracefully. You're the tops!

All of the car honking, the happy noise, the sunshine-filled streets with people celebrating are opening my lungs with a deep sense of gratitude and belonging. Breathing it all in.
@ethanfreak how do you roll? You see a Twitter account named ABOLISH DEEZ NUTZ #ACAB reply to Elon Musk by saying, “Now cancel culture has gone too far ;)...” Roll an Investigation check to spend the next 45 minutes deciphering what is happening.

Balm for the soul today: @_JoyCastro lecture “Writing Memoir, Writing Crime: Creativity as Sociopolitical Intervention” was (not surprising) amazing. Great advice & can't wait to get @salesses book Craft in the Real World. @booksmithtweets is it coming?

If I was @RandyRainbow I'd be composing the Count Every Vote -to the tune of "Climb Every Mountain" right this hot second. We need it. (both the song and the vote- counting). Also, Randy is a damn national treasure and needs his rest since we're in for the long haul.

Horrific. Infuriating. What is wrong with these people?
BREAKING -- "We need to take away children." A damning internal investigation concludes that top Justice Dept. officials were "a driving force" behind @realdonaldtrump's family separation policy. My new report, with @nytmike @ktbenner nytimes.com/2020/10/06/us/po…
Better than he's in 20 years? Cool. Back to work: $750 taxes. Negligence of Covid killed Americans decimated economy & stability. He's a racist. A crook. Wife's disdains immigrant kids, their carelessness infecting others, his children's profit & his party undermines democracy.

Media stop reporting “performance” or “presidential” as baseline. How many times can you be surprised that trump will dig deeper into gaslighting and incitement? A bully distracts the conversation. He quiets reason. Were there issues /policies that surfaced? Any? #remember2016
