3/ But let's start at the beginning.
In 2018, Disney spent 20 million dollars helping to pass Amendment 3 which took the ability to expand casino gambling in FL away from the legislature and placed it with the voters.

I think we need a conversation about the ethics of representation of the dead and dying. Is it ever appropriate to capture and publish their images whether on mainstream or social media? Are there different rules for photojournalists and media firms as opposed to other citizens?
One study suggested images of graphic violence could motivate public demands for action to stop atrocities. If graphic images of accidents have a similar effect -generating GoK action to stop accidents and save lives - would it be ethical to publish them? researchgate.net/profile/Matthe…
There are few clear or easy answers. Choosing not to show images of the dead and dying is not consequence-free. Rather than blanket "thou shalt nots", maybe we should encourage more ethical and deliberative decision-making around the images people choose to publish and share.
What happened last night in #Westgate was horrifying. We have a gun violence epidemic in our country and we need to act.
Thank you to the brave officers of @GlendaleAZPD for their swift response preventing further loss of life. My thoughts are with all the victims.

No person in our country should have to fear for their life when they leave their home. Our community cannot afford further inaction -- one preventable death is one too many.
It is time for our legislators to act by closing the glaring loopholes in Arizona and across our country. I stand with @GiffordsCourage, @MomsDemand, and the 70 percent of Americans who are in favor of stricter gun safety laws.
Police in @MyGlendale and @PhoenixArizona shutting down the area due to a possible shooting. Police are combing the area.

THREAD: Why @NYTimes should learn from when @CNN got Kenyans on Twitter mad. After #SomeoneTellCNN, they had to fly Exec. Vice President & MD for @CNNi (@Tony_MaddoxCNN) in to @StateHouseKenya to personally apologise to Pres. @UKenyatta. CNN also lost $1,000,000 in advertising.
ACTION: This thread is long so if you want to take action first, please:
Tweet/Email NYT International Editor Michael Slackman - slackman@nytimes.com (@meslackman) referencing issues listed below. I believe we're escalating to the right person, given the circumstances.

businessdailyafrica.com/economy/Wester… The same Western diplomats who rushed to endorse a rubbish election today warn us about the dangers of "fake news".
Interesting. They don't consider what they, their governments and observers were doing in the days after August 8 as spreading "fake news"?
Fake news is nothing new. Kenyans have long been used to receiving disinformation, mostly in the form of #OfficialTruth from GoK
