Will Lewis was too busy to join the call to tell his staff he’s destroying the @washingtonpost sports department yesterday … but he did have time to walk the red carpet at NFL Honors here in San Francisco today. Amazing.

What's unfolding in #Haiti remains so under-reported; and yet, what's happening there is cruel and troubling. Thanks @ABCWorldNews & @MattRiversABC for bringing these stories to the world:

Haiti, one of the poorest countries in the world, is plagued with gang violence and now at risk of famine. @MattRiversABC reports on the humanitarian crisis as armed groups control what supplies come into areas, leaving children with little or no food. abcn.ws/2XvP3JQ

What is happening in #Haiti demands the world's attention: Skyrocketing gang violence. Soaring inflation, and 4.9 million people hungry – nearly half the country.
Thank you @ABCWorldNews & @MattRiversABC for showing the gravity of this dire humanitarian crisis.

lots of good discussion on walkable neighborhoods, but not enough discussion on the importance of shopping locally. if you want to see nice little shops on your walk, you have to buy from them every once in a while, even if it means paying a little more. less amazon; more local

Authorities are warning that an unprecedented surge in migrants at the southern border may only worsen with the expiration of Title 42 looming, the Trump-era policy that allows the U.S. to expel asylum seekers at the border. @MattRiversABC reports. abcn.ws/3iXnzeV

For months, we’ve been documenting how fentanyl has transformed Tijuana, the most common transit point for the drug into the US. It is now the deadliest municipality in Mexico, with 1,900 homicides this year – many of them taking place in the canal that slices through the city.

It’s hard to overstate how brave this is in Xi Jinping’s China. Whomever did this did so at extraordinary personal risk.

Two protest banners were hung on a #Beijing Third Ring Road bridge today. There was also a fire. The banners opposed Zero #Covid measures, calling for an end to lockdowns, promoting revolutionary change in this country adding "we need to vote; we don't want to be slaves". #China
