I don’t really know what to say about today… other than register to vote. Flip seats on a local and state level. Elect people who will pass laws that legalize abortion nation wide and protect the rights of the LGBTQ community… oh and fight for term limits.
I’ve finally done it. I’ve convinced someone to let me produce the news. Jokes on them, my whole newscast is going to be 16 minutes of animal videos… this is all to say I’ve been promoted to news producer at WPTV.

New: For some, November 26 is about turkey and sports — but for many Native Americans, the story of Thanksgiving is a painful reminder of cultural erasure. Don't miss this timely @NewmarkJAudio piece from #NewmarkJSchool student @Ashley_Rodri ’20. newmarkj.io/cuK850Cv530

The tragedy continues for the many survivors of 9/11. COVID-19 is wreaking havoc on the community and is one more challenge threatening to steal the lives of the many. I’m really proud to have worked on this story with an amazing team at @THECITYNY thecity.nyc/2020/9/10/214317…

For the last eight weeks, I've had the pleasure of working on @THECITYNY's Missing Them project. I'm incredibly proud of the work I've done, attempting to honor as many lives lost to COVID-19 in NYC as possible. Check it out and spread their good work. thecity.nyc/2020/6/10/212871…

Here Are Their Names: Remembering the New Yorkers Lost to COVID-19

We’ve created a searchable memorial of more than 2,000 and counting. We’ve memorialized some in words and images. But we’ve got a long way to go — and we need your help.

Was Bloomberg at the same debate last week? I guess getting eviscerate by Elizabeth Warren is winning for him #DemDebate2020
The State of the Union is how Republicans get their squats in for the year.

Sutter on perceived bias in the media on climate change, “It should be clear, based on the facts, that we should be doing far more than we’re doing,” regardless of politics. #cunyclimate
Florido, “Two years later the money is just arriving“ there needs to be regulations and accountability on how these funds are spent. #cunyclimate
Begnaud says social media is an outlet to be heard when he can’t get the airtime to talk about climate change issues. “It’s to important to walk away from, it’s too important to quit,” he said. #cunyclimate
Padro-Ocasio spoke about feeling helpless and useless after coming back to Orlando after reporting on Maria. But she ultimately felt lucky to live in a place with the largest population of Puerto Rican’s outside of Puerto Rico and continue her reporting. #cunyclimate

@carlaminetpr says of reporting on Maria that “our collective way of dealing with all the frustration” and pain was to hit the streets and tell people’s stories. #cunyclimate #newmarkjreports

Minet says her grandparents lost their home completely after Maria, touching on her personal connection to Puerto Rico and her drive to tell these stories.
@jdsutter says he found it personally infuriating at the “grave injustices” the Puerto Rican people felt after Hurricane Maria. #cunyclimate #newmarkjreports

Florido says, “You have to be willing to go all the way with them” when interviewing people who experienced a natural disaster, but he stressed it’s important to step back and respect boundaries. #cunyclimate #newmarkjreports

Begnaud says all he promises people, who have experienced a climate disaster, is fairness when reporting. “It’s important to be human,” he said. #cunyclimate #newmarkjreports
@BiancaJoanie says “there is this expectation that Puerto Rican’s are all anti-Trump voters” and that tokenizing comes into play. We should focus on the concerns of the Puerto Rican people beyond Maria she said. #cunyclimate #newmarkjreports

@adrianflorido, of NPR’s Code Switch, says, “what happens after disasters, these tragedies can become politicized” which can be harmful. We must be mindful he says. #cunyclimate #newmarkjreports
