people playing music/videos on their phone speakers in public is more than just mildly annoying and is instead a leading indicator of the decline of community and empath

Yesterday's No Kings protests were apparently the largest since the first Earth Day in 1970

The NYT covered that story with a six column headline across the top of the paper and two full pages inside

Today, two small pics below the fold and a story on page A23

They constantly let America down

notice the general mood of the timeline? how everyone is in a good mood and there’s a lot less misery and dooming? how there’s a lot of “we’re going to beat these assholes”?

anyway that’s why these events are important

Elites collapsed and capitulated. Regular people never did. #NoKings

Live your life in such a way that 7 million people don’t show up just to tell you that you are an asshole.

#NoKings

Most people in the US hate what ICE is doing.

Fuck ICE

If I could offer students one bit of…advice: be brutally traditional about what is printed on your degree.

If you are first-gen or in any way non traditional, this goes double. Let rich kids get degrees in AI. You get something called “English”.

As long as I live, I will never forgive Mitch McConnell for both causing irreparable damage to the Supreme Court, and not voting to convict Donald Trump.

very annoying that we had to endure about a month of these people going “calling us nazis hurts our feelings” to then immediately be revealed saying nazi shit and going “yup, we want gas chambers. so what libs”

Chicago priest urges parishioners to leave mass with caution after ICE agents reported nearby Chicago's Rogers Park community remained vigilant after reports of federal agents near a Catholic church during Sunday mass.

"After the warning, neighbors showed up and formed a human chain outside the church to guide parishioners home. NBC Chicago found more organizers doing the same for the beginning of the 6 p.m. mass..."

Find a rally. Show up.

This senile liar who currently occupies the White House does not remember that he was President on January 6th.

If you voted for this senile liar, and if you enable him today, you clearly are ok with breaking America. The ruins of our once great nation are because of you.

Some weirdo on Twitter has been absolutely melting down for like 36 straight hours because I posted:

When this is over, do not forget what ICE did, and what ICE is. And do not make room for them in society. Make sure they know that they are, and will continue to be, reviled and beneath contempt.

listen. when dolly parton’s sister says it’s time for us all to be prayer warriors for dolly. you fucking pray for dolly

Presidents? SCOTUS gives them immunity.

Corporations? SCOTUS makes it easier for them to pollute.

Billionaires? SCOTUS says they can buy elections.

But if you look Latino, speak Spanish, or work at a low wage job, SCOTUS says you can be abducted by masked agents.

The legacy of the Roberts court.

I do wonder when media outlets will get interested in ballooning everyday costs. My family's grocery bill has exploded over the past six months and - unlike when a Democrat is president - this is a non-story.

Good morning.

The government is shut down because Trump wants to act like a king and steal from you.

Democrats have no obligation to support a budget that funds the destruction of our democracy - and DOUBLES health premiums to fund a tax cut for billionaires.

CNBC: "Very disappointing. It's a weak number. This is private sector jobs for September. The total comes in -32,000. And that was a surprise because economists were looking for an increase of 51,000. Also, the revision was not good. August now showing -3,000 compared to the initial read of 54,000"

Today marks the first day in public media’s history without federal funding. And we’re not going anywhere.

We have allowed the lazy, grifting Silicon Valley charlatans into the front door, & in doing so, we have learned just how many of our own colleagues & administrators simply are not interested in the actual business of education. It's incredibly demoralizing.

Protest, resist, yell, mock, organize.

Dissent and dissent LOUDLY.

We live under a fascist regime, not a successfully totalitarian regime.

These people are not bright and they are not competent.

They will lose.

"Taking away a broadcast license has so many legal obstacles and takes so long that the FCC doesn't even try."

This is important to understand. The real action is in self-censorship and merger approvals. view.newsletters.cnn.com/messages/175...

There are ways in which I envy the queer young folks of today -- they have so many more media options & physical spaces than we did. But just like us they are living under the constant threat of closure, violence, and erasure. Everything we fought to give them, they are at risk of losing. I hate it.

We’re only less free because rich people are sacrificing us to make leaders happy. The people running this company have plenty of power to resist: they chose not to. We pay the price while they profit.

We need to stop making it sound inevitable. It isn’t: we are being sold out. Actively.

Agreed. I’m just shocked. I feel betrayed.

NYT changed the headline later in the day, I think.

Don’t forget homophobic and anti-Semitic. Just a horrible take.

At the highest stakes moment since 1860, Schumer and Jeffries are completely failing the country.

This is just shocking to me as an LGBTQ Barnard employee.
