You have to tell them you want to speak with them

Only breaking news gets someone sent out "on assignment"

Everything else is self-submit

Not understanding how MSM works at all is one of our silliest hurdles honestly

A library director in Wyoming who was fired two years ago because she refused to remove books with sexual content and LGBTQ themes from a library's children and young adult sections has just been awarded $700,000 in a settlement. t.co/EA5L1kOZfV

Seeing pictures of an abandoned tamale cart in Pilsen where ICE took a tamale street vendor. Those photos of left behind carts are so haunting. Community members disappeared. Not just vendors but people who have long standing relationships with the community and people.

This is a GoFundMe supporting the tamale lady taken by ICE on 21st Place and Damen in Pilsen yesterday.

“Now she’s being forced to start over in Mexico with nothing — no home, no job, and no access to the medical care she desperately needs.”

Out on the horizon, past the roll of wastes like a sea’s waves frozen in dust, a darkness swirled and swelled. In its maw was fire, its terrible eye gleaming with a hatred pure and bright. And the man knew then that he walked into death. He walked all the same.

Can we all start a music video streaming service online now that shows nothing but music videos organized by genre?

Because that's the future internet I need, personally

Someone give me money to hire developers plz thx

The broadcaster will stop showing music videos in December, but its main channel will remain on air.

But this song, this gem, is how I knew Elon was headed for self implosion in my lifetime just by seeking all those military contracts so hard 😅🤘

It only took him like 20 years to turn into Neo-Howard Hughes

I got to go to a bunch of their shows during the Zoe K era

And because the stage banter was always changing they were always fun to see again

I've been working on an article for Indigenous Peoples Day, we're finalizing and then this happens 🤣

Ironically, for a POTUS complaining about the "rewriting" of history, he just did a MAJOR rewriting of history or should I say a complete REIMAGINING.
