Go to town hall meetings for local politicians and state level politicians. Write your local and state level politicians. Yes, federal politicians aren’t likely to respond, but you’d be surprised by how responsive local politicians are. Write to your local news! Elevate the issues that matter to you

You still can't buy wine or hard liquor at grocery stores in Kansas. They only started allowing Sunday sales at liquor stores back in like 2007, and they just only started allowing "full strength" (up to 5% ABV) beer sales in grocery stores just THREE YEARS AGO.
Teetotaling is so fucking dumb.

If you live in certain counties in Texas or Arkansas (among others), Prohibition never really ended.
Wet counties/cities permit alcohol sales.
Dry counties/cities do not.
'Moist' counties have barriers to sale/purchase, like alcohol only served in restaurants or 'private clubs'.

The LeBron James 10+ points streak lasted 4.5 times longer than the Confederacy.
For the first time in the regular season since Jan. 5, 2007, LeBron James failed to eclipse the double-digit mark.
His streak lasted 1,297 regular-season games and predates the announcement of the first iPhone.

After 1,297 games, LeBron James’ 10-point scoring streak ends with Lakers buzzer-beater
James scored just eight points in a 123-120 win over the Toronto Raptors, ending a regular-season run that began in January of 2007.

Religion note: Remember that pastor who was arrested protesting an ICE detention facility outside Chicago recently? The one who was photographed on the ground as officers arrested him?
That's Rev. Michael Woolf, and this is his church.

I think it'd be cool to take some professional symphony orchestra like the London Philharmonic or the NY Philharmonic, and make them play something like a Rachmaninoff or Brahms symphony entirely on student-grade instruments.

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson has proposed disastrous cuts to our city's libraries while setting aside $5M for a ShotSpotter replacement. As library associate Sara Heymann told me, “Libraries embody everything we need to fight back against fascism.” My piece on what’s at stake and how to fight back:
You Can’t Fight Fascism While Defunding Libraries
“Libraries embody everything that we need right now to fight back against fascism," says Sara Heymann.

I DONT CARE if *some* students have managed to get accommodations by allegedly "gaming the system" or "doctor shopping"
I DON'T CARE.
Because my experience tells me how hard it is to be disabled in higher ed, as both a disabled student, and disabled faculty member now.

How about we worry less, as a society, about whether individuals might be cheating to get a disability accommodation or some help buying food, and more about whether extremely wealthy people and corporations are paying their fair share of taxes?
