A lot of ash, some of it scary large, is falling on my sister’s street in #SantaRosa because of the #GlassIncident #GlassFire #SonomaCounty

- Fall of @MinneapolisPD’s 3rd Precinct captured in 3 nights of radio traffic & escalating violence. May 26: “They have access to ... all of the weapons in the squad cars.” May 27: “We have 50 people looting the Target.” May 28: “The precinct is on fire.”
- People aren't the only evacuees in the #WineCountryWildfires #TubbsFire #PocketFire #NunsFire 208 horses, 1 pony, 4 mini horses, 33 goats...
- Aransas Pass resident Juan Hernandez says #Hurricane Harvey ripped his roof away. Only the kitchen left. "We survived."
- And it's done. @CalEnergy voted 5-0 to require #solarpanels on virtually all newly built homes in #California. Reps for @Sunrun and @Tesla spoke in support.
- Some news: I’m trading one bean for another. After 10 years, I’m unplugging from the energy beat and packing my go-bag for Chicago, where I’ll be the WSJ’s Midwest correspondent and national disaster rover. H-Town friends, I’ll miss you. Chicago friends, I’ll see y’all soon.
- Journalism is not a crime. Stand with journalism. Stand with Evan. Not just today but every day until he is free. Four weeks is too long. #IStandwithEvan
- Today marks a week since my layoff from the WSJ, which has been my professional home for a decade. I already miss working with my colleagues. Many are like family, including the ones cut with me: @acaldwellwsj @bkesling @SuryatapaB @aflores @ShannonNajma @TalalNAnsari @cmaiduc 🧵
- That’s right, I do live alone and I ordered a 16” #ElectionNightPizza all for me. Thanks for keeping me fed while I report, @jbalbertospizza #PartyLikeAJournalist
- What's it like caring for some of those most at risk for #coronavirus? @jbarrchicago spent a day with Dr. Thomas Huggett, who is watching over homeless residents in a hotel. “We have to help our brothers and sisters, that’s kind of where I’m coming from.” wsj.com/articles/a-day…
- The WSJ is one of the nicest newsrooms I have ever worked in and I count my colleagues as friends. But we're missing one of our friends right now -- Evan Gershkovich -- and we hope to see him home soon. Today we're wearing our #IStandWithEvan shirts to show our support.
- If you have a cat, please hug them. Had to say bye to mine yesterday after 15 years and am missing her dearly.
- A @WSJ investigation into the spread of #COVID19 by cruise ships: “Other people are sick here,” Tom Sheehan, a #CostaLuminosa passenger said in a March 13 text. He died in a Florida hospital 15 days later. wsj.com/articles/cruis… w/@jacquiemcnish @RachelPannett and Rebecca Smith
