I have been trying to get this published as an op-ed, but I am going to post it here since I think it is timely in light of the "consent" extortion events.

What an amazing message of hope during these dark times ✨

I think a lot of us realize that some day our posts may be used against us. Given how online this government is, I don't think contributing to the online rhetoric is meaningless.
There's been a steady destruction of the democratic government with an underlying fascist ideology.

Terrible. Homophobic, xenophobic, and wants to work with Trump 😵‍💫

USC sold dead bodies to U.S. military to train IDF medical personnel A review of seven years’ worth of contracts unveiled more than $860,000 to use cadavers in surgical trainings involving the Israeli Defense Forces.

I love when student journalists break a crazy story, especially about their own school. This one is extraordinarily macabre. www.uscannenbergmedia.com/2025/10/01/u...

We don’t have “gifted” elementary schools in NYC, it is simply an accelerated curriculum with more resources and support. This coming from a mom of a 3rd grader in a G&T program.

Dropping this here for all the NYC parents currently losing their minds:

Jane Goodall: April 3, 1934 – October 1, 2025

Jane Goodall was a global legend at the forefront of discovery — breaking through barriers for women in primatology, science, and beyond.

Her curiosity, strength, and kindness changed the world, bridging countries and cultures in pursuit of a better future.

quick while the government is shut down let’s all switch to metric

If any other president in all of history said the military should use American cities as a training ground he would be removed from office that same day. The hardest thing to tolerate in all this is how relatively silent elected democrats are. It’s ridiculous.

Website that says: The Radical Left are going to shut down the government and inflict massive pain on the American people unless they get their $1.5 trillion wish list of demands. The Trump administration wants to keep the government open for the American people.

How humiliating for the United States military

Congrats Katie!

Worth the wait :)

Nobody cares about the victims in the Dallas ICE shooting apparently. The first I've heard about one of them was on CNN today. He's fighting for his life in the hospital --- he was brought to the US when he was 13. He's 33 now. No criminal record.

I just don't know what to say anymore.

ICE detains Des Moines Superintendent Dr. Ian Roberts Iowa's largest school district had "no confirmed information" on why ICE detained Dr. Ian Roberts, the superintendent since 2023.

Breaking news from Des Moines: ICE has detained Dr. Ian Roberts, the superintendent of Iowa's largest school district.
The Des Moines Public Schools said "We have no confirmed information as to why Dr. Roberts is being detained or the next potential steps."

Historical nuance, sincerity, storytelling, AND evidence-based solutions?!

I’ve never heard a politician speak like this, and definitely not about Black maternal health. This is amazing.

Hundreds of Alligator Alcatraz detainees drop off the grid after leaving site As of the end of August, the whereabouts of two-thirds of more than 1,800 men detained at Alligator Alcatraz during the month of July could not be determined by the Miami Herald.

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

ACOG reaffirms that acetaminophen is safe for managing pain and fever during pregnancy. No reputable studies support suggestions like those in HHS’s recent announcement linking acetaminophen use in pregnancy to autism; in fact, high-quality studies show no such risk. https://bit.ly/47Wxc59

Genuinely feels like a tipping point for American democracy, if we can keep it.

there is nothing more american than news of a political shooting being interrupted by news of a school shooting

I don’t think the World Cup should be held here (with all the current chaos) - but absolutely love this sentiment. Cannot wait for Mamdani to be our mayor

Keeping families in debt or out of the workforce is a policy choice. Universal childcare needs to be prioritized - hope NY follows suit! @governor.ny.gov
