2/ Plaintiffs claim the encampment was a “Jew Exclusion Zone.” But Jewish students led Shabbat and Passover services there. They were part of the encampment. These allegations are defamatory, false, and calculated to smear anti-Zionist Jews.

Chronic venous insufficiency is a condition where the veins in the legs have difficulty drawing attention from the fact that the Epstein Files still haven’t been released

What started as a search for some of my first publications has led me to reading through the San Diego Reader of the early 1990s. It is, overall, astonishingly good. But then, there were alt-weeklies like it across the U.S. Almost all gone or hollowed out. Nothing has replaced them.

Seeing a massive divide online between Angelenos of all political stripes who understand that the protests in LA yesterday were mostly peaceful and any violence was ICE-initiated and East Coast establishment liberals lecturing “the left” on how riots just amplify right wing talking points.

Keep protesting n fighting! #freemarcelo #impeachtrump

Defying DeSantis, Florida Pride Marchers Light Up Jacksonville Bridge with Rainbow Organizers demonstrated that they didn’t need state permission for queer visibility.

1. Florida banned cities from lighting up bridges rainbow colors for Pride.

So the people of Jacksonville did it themselves using flashlights and gels.

They opened the drawbridge to block them.

So they marched to a different bridge.

An utter triumph.

He’ll be replaced with another lackey fascist, but it’s still important that a) it was possible to bring down a top Trumper; b) it was journalists—from annoying legacy media, Atlantic & NYT—that got the scoops making it possible.

E.P.A. Set to Cancel Grants Aimed at Protecting Children From Toxic Chemicals The cancellations, set to apply to pending and active grants, also affect research into “forever chemicals” contaminating the food supply.

The Trump administration is set to cancel tens of millions of dollars in grants to scientists studying environmental hazards faced by children in rural America, among other health issues, according to internal emails written by senior officials at the EPA.

I don't see enough people or reporters talking about the mass terminations of nih lgbtq+ grants that happened yesterday. How can we get the word out so communities understand the huge loss to science, safety, and economy this is??

A screenshot of a New York Times newspaper headline and article from Friday, September 25, 1936. The main headline reads "COLUMBIA HEARS PLEA FOR EXPELLED STUDENT" with a subheading "Burke and Two Other Speakers Demand His Reinstatement at Gathering of 500." The beginning of the article states "Three members of the American Student Union, including Robert Burke, who was expelled in June for leading the anti-Nazi demonstration last May, addressed a gathering of 500 students of the college..." A portion of text is underlined in red. The newspaper features The New York Times masthead at the top of the image. (made by Claude AI)
