Today in history, 2015: A white supremacist with a gun took nine precious lives from us during Bible study at Emanual African Methodist Episcopal Church in Charleston, S.C. No place is safe from gun violence, not even places of worship.

Rev. Barber, surrounded by police, praying in the U.S. Capitol Rotunda.
BREAKING: Police just surrounded Rev. William Barber, prominent activist and pastor, as he and others prayed in the U.S. Capitol Rontunda.
Police then expelled everyone (including press!) from the Rotunda to (presumably) arrest them.
I've covered protests here a lot. Never seen anything like it.
I don't give the press a pass, but social media, particularly Meta, is responsible for a lot of where we are.
It's the way algorithms determine which media and what news we see.
It's the way social media algorithms push us into news environments that are essentially alternate realities.
