@jeffreyswisher @karaswisher @profgalloway @EricaAmerica @rebzsays @voxmedia Very kind of you, Jeffrey, to say that, but I had nothing to do with this. We both know your sister is a force of nature. — PolitiTweet.org

According to the @dallasnews, Karen's death was from a heart attack. COVID-19 wasn't mentioned. I can't believe she's gone. @KarenBlu @MiddleSeat — PolitiTweet.org

So sad at the death at just 61 of a wonderful former @WSJ colleague, Karen Blumenthal. She was a talented journalist & author of young adult books. Deepest condolences to her husband, Scott McCartney, the Journal's airline columnist, and to their family. https://t.co/D4048CF8aZ — PolitiTweet.org

Totally free @Checkology, the digital news literacy curriculum from the News Literacy Project, will now be free going forward, even after the pandemic ends. This is a huge step in helping every student everywhere to tell the difference between fact and fiction. @NewsLitProject — PolitiTweet.org

So somebody just sent me one of my early @WSJ columns, in the original paper form, from May 26, 1994. It was a review of a pre-Web app called Journalist which let you make your own customized newspaper. In it, I think I may have been one of the first to warn about filter bubbles. https://t.co/uLVbNgOHJg — PolitiTweet.org

Sixty-six years ago today, on May 17, 1954, the Supreme Court unanimously outlawed racial segregation of public schools by state and local laws. The decision, in Brown vs Board of Education, was a huge victory for civil rights. https://t.co/kqHdySJ7qP — PolitiTweet.org

@vaguar @amazon @Walmart @DelRey It wasn’t a boycott, though I’d likely have hesitated due to their labor policies. They just don’t have any stores near us. According to their site, the nearest physical Walmart to us is 27 miles away. — PolitiTweet.org

RIP Fred Willard, a great comic actor who shone in “This is Spinal Tap” and “Waiting for Guffman” among many others. I first remember him for the brilliant, but short-lived TV series lampooning late night talk shows, “Fernwood 2 Night” with Martin Mull. https://t.co/6uDthn2WDr — PolitiTweet.org

@profgalloway Oh, no. He was just fantastic in so many roles. RIP. — PolitiTweet.org

I’m a loyal @amazon customer and hadn’t shopped at @Walmart. We don’t even have a nearby store. But, during the pandemic I started ordering from them. And I have to say that, at least for us, they’ve been better & faster on deliveries than Amazon, especially on hard-to-get items. https://t.co/UgGlT6RD93 — PolitiTweet.org

Sportswriters, broadcasters and photographers were already being laid off in droves before the pandemic. Even at digital outlets. Now, without live major sports, many in the profession are deeply pessimistic about its future even after play resumes. https://t.co/lpBoarX2jF — PolitiTweet.org
