Which Philly Twitter feeds you should be watching today

Everybody’s going to be hanging on the news today — tracking tweets from candidates, gleaning prognosis from pundits; hearing analysis of everything from turnout to exit polling.

But in among the newsy tweets from Technical.ly and Generocity; Billy Penn and WHYY; Kensington Voice and DosPuntos; Philly Mag and WURD Radio; Philadelphia Tribune, Citizen and Inquirer, are some organizations imparting important information and some distinctive individual Philadelphia voices — not officially political ones — who always have interesting observations to make and intriguing things to say.

We’ve collected some of this morning’s (r yesterday’s) tweets from both org and individual, so you can check them out.

Aiden and I went to do laundry as our washer is broken. This was the parking lot. This is the first time I didn’t have an answer to a question he asked: “mommy, why are there soo many soldiers?” Always honest with him, but in this moment, I am #speechless. 💔 pic.twitter.com/vx7T2hrO9s

I took a little “calm before” walk around Center City Philadelphia last hour. I heard lots of drills buzz saws. Traffic and crowds were light but I saw lots of people with groceries, plus some voters, a handful of National Guard soldiers and some police with riot helmets. pic.twitter.com/lrxTq6WvYY

"At this point in life, we are finally having enough Latinos eligible to vote." – Edgar Ramirez, Philatinos Radio

As Pennsylvania turns into an election battleground, the Latinx community must teach themselves how to vote.https://t.co/iAI9DSznjG

Important to remember: The Pennsylvania State Legislature slowed down the counting process considerably by failing to allow counties to start the process of counting mail-in ballots prior to election day. https://t.co/gYsDcn7x6o
