Okay, it’s gone public. I’m comfortable saying this. The new owners of KOMO Newsradio laid off most of their reporters and editors. They are great journalists, producers, and board operators. I’m happy to connect you with them. Truly a bad day for Seattle journalism.

I was let go from my job at WVPB last week following threats from DHHR about my reporting on DHHR’s treatment of people with disabilities.
My team met with @Twitter today. They told us that they're not going to retaliate against independent journalists or researchers who publish criticisms of the platform. Less than 12 hours later, multiple technology reporters have been suspended. What's the deal, @elonmusk?
Journalists who cover Elon Musk have been suspended on Twitter tonight: @Donie O'Sullivan from CNN, Aaron Rupar and the Washington Post's @drewharwell. Rupar tells me he has "no idea" why it happened.
I created this quick doc to track all journalist twitter accounts suspended tonight. Please reply to this thread with any I’m missing or any that are reinstated. 🙏🏽 THANKS. docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d…
I don’t know what happened here but if @elonmusk doesn’t fix this within the hour with an explanation by morning, I’ll be on Capitol Hill tomorrow demanding that he be hauled in front of Congress.

Yesterday sucks. There's no arguing that. What's worse is that there are so many hurtful and negative people out there that went after Paul Sewald that he actually deleted his Twitter. I understand being upset, but that's disgusting.
How sweet it is! Rick’s call still has us crying 😭
