Description

Hi - When I go to News >> Twitter, most of the left side hyperlinks render blank results. @cunycommons seems to be working, but the others not so much. Also the "contact us" hyperlink should point directly to Zendesk.

Looks like Twitter deprecated the widgets API we were using to embed Twitter streams: https://twittercommunity.com/t/deprecating-widget-settings/102295

I was able to migrate much of the content to their new, similar API. There are a couple of things I couldn't move:

1. The cunycommons/cunycommons list doesn't appear to exist anymore
2. The "publish" API that replaces the widget API doesn't support searches (which means it doesn't support hashtag feeds)

As such, I've removed cunycommons/cunycommons, #cuny, and #cunyevents from the nav. See screenshot.

This feels acceptable for the 1.15.3 release. If Matt or other have thoughts about how this page could be improved, let's handle it in an enhancement ticket for 1.16 or beyond.
