The loss of local newspapers is depriving communities of some of the glue that holds them together. In her latest "America At a Crossroads" report, @JudyWoodruff looks at how some news outlets are hanging on and whether what they're doing is sustainable.

When you are encouraged to feel moral outrage or contempt, it can ignite the need for retaliation that can be very dangerous, leading 70% of Americans to see political violence as likely, says @PeterTColeman1 at @PellCenter #RhodeIsland #courageousRI

I can’t justify this, but I found it calming. Also, my 8 year old just told me she knew about tardigrades from Magic School Bus, so I’m also feeling like a good parent. Banner day.

These are elementary school children who woke up this morning. Who ate their favorite cereal. Who tied their shoes in double knots. Who laughed with friends on the bus. Now more than a dozen are dead. This isn’t normal. It doesn’t have to be this way. It can’t keep being this way

Heartbroken & appalled by news from Texas. May the families & community receive the support they need to get through this somehow. It is unimaginable. And yet it keeps happening. We must forge the common ground to put an end to these repeated atrocities. nyti.ms/3aljPQh
