I’m behind. Who is this guy? Is he running for something? 💙

I was eating dinner last night in a purple (formerly red) area, & overheard a Republican man tell his obviously GOP friends why he would vote for Dems from now on. He didn’t like ICE’s masks, kidnappings, & brutality. It gave me hope. (And I’ve been losing hope…)

I read the “SAVE Act” (the GOP’s new voter suppression bill) so you don’t have to. This is my one page summary. Jesus it’s bad. 1/

“Dear ICE agents - I hope you’re respectful to everyone and show kindness… we should treat all people the same, even if we don’t know them.”

If this doesn’t shatter your heart you don’t have one. 💔

How to Film ICE Filming federal agents in public is legal, but avoiding a dangerous—even deadly—confrontation isn’t guaranteed. Here’s how to record ICE and CBP agents as safely as possible and have an impact.

Thank you!

What is the title of this article? (I’d like to read the whole thing.) These criminals have to be removed from office before it gets to this point.

Day after day of people being pepper sprayed, thrown to the ground, detained, shot at, yada yada yada… tell me again how they’re the victims… 🙄🤬

I've watched thousands of videos from the Jan. 6 riot as part of NPR's reporting and archive project on that day.

Here are some of the lesser known videos that have really stuck with me.

But I don’t disagree. Hopefully the crowds will grow enough to make it financially feasible. The empty stands when the home team isn’t playing make me so sad.

This aged well. 😂

Amazing weekend of volleyball!!!

8/10. Not gonna lie: I am VERY DISAPPOINTED in the XPN listeners who did not put Tracy Chapman’s “Stand By Me” on this countdown. At 7:00, listening to that is your first assignment! Love to you all! 😘 This was so fun! Thank you, @wxpnfm.bsky.social
#xpncountdown

Sorry if this is being greedy, but please maybe stream that show on demand for us? Would love to hear the commentary, and won’t be able to listen live.

I knew this song wouldn’t need my vote! #10.5 for me. ❤️🌈🌈🌈 #xpncountdown

I ❤️ Rufus’s version!!! It was an 11 for me, but I’m thrilled it finished this high! (Not silly at all!) #xpncountdown

My condolences to both of us!

Ahhhhh! The guitar riff for this version of “Smooth Criminal” was the only ringtone I ever paid for, back in the day…. #xpncountdown

Which did you choose? I chose “Strange Little Girl.” I’ve officially given up hearing it.

That’s an easy one!

Me too! 😢 I recently found a podcast that reviews all their albums track by track (plus bonus episodes). There’s a lot of annoying banter, but also tons of good info. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/w...

So “Strange Little Girl” officially did not make it 😆

OMG!!! “Superman!!!” You all were right!!! And I wasn’t a weirdo making it my #1. #xpncountdown

Yes - I learned more about him, and what the song meant to him, and it made me appreciate his cover so much more. He definitely understood the assignment! And yes - stunned is the word! It was so beautiful! I’m tearing up just thinking about it.

The Chicks & Smashing Pumpkins versions of “Landslide” were both 11s for me. Couldn’t choose so voted for neither, happy to see them both in top 100. #xpncountdown

No, it was spectacular aftermath!!! I never watch the Grammys anymore and happened to be watching live - I lost my mind! And the response (is that better? 😂) gave me hope for the world. (Which has since been dashed, but that moment happened, and I’ll take it.)

I’m a pretty big REM fan and I only recently found out it was a cover, and I don’t think it’s universally loved, hence my concern.

I heard it for the first time in the aftermath of the Grammys duet with Luke Combs. It’s an important assignment. The song took my breath away.

I was just voting for my favorites. I love hearing how different people approach these countdowns!
