Reminder I have this starter pack created months ago for MassComm/Jour academics. I added anyone who fit the category and asked to be added until it was full.

I trimmed it to drop some people who haven't posted in months, so if you're in JMC academia and are posting regularly, DM me to be added.

This is how our big local news outlet is framing the shutdown RE our local congressional rep, and as headlines go, it gets past the rhetorical games and hits the heart of the matter.
Mackenzie calls Democrats 'reckless' for shutting down government over health care subsidies he supports
Senate Democrats have refused to fund the federal government unless Republicans agree to extend tax subsidies for the Affordable Care Act. U.S. Ryan Mackenzie supports the tax subsidies but echoed Rep...

Every day this week has offered reminders to me that a good, practical, and meaningful way to fight the creeping darkness I feel about the world is to look for ways to use what voice and power I have to lift others up. It doesn't solve everything, but it's a tangible thing we can do together.

Trump: "We took the freedom of speech away because that's been through the courts and the courts said you have freedom of speech, but what has happened is when they burn a flag it agitates and irritates crowds."

I really believe that huge majorities of Americans don’t want masked soldiers shooting priests in the street. They don’t want naked children ripped out out of their apartments in the middle of the night and handcuffed. We win by making sure these stories get told.

Gonna be thinking about this lede for a minute.
(RNS) — Last month, the Rev. David Black stood in front of a Chicago-area U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility and spread his arms wide. Adorned in all black and wearing a clerical collar, the pastor looked up at a group of masked, heavily armed ICE agents on the roof and began to pray. “I invited them to repentance,” Black, a minister in the Presbyterian Church (USA), said in an interview. “I basically offered an altar call. I invited them to come and receive that salvation, and be part of the kingdom that is coming.” But when Black began to lower his arms a few seconds later, the agents responded to his spiritual plea by firing pepper balls, or chemical agents that cause eye irritation and respiratory distress, video footage shows. One struck Black in the head, exploding into a puff of white pepper smoke and forcing him to his knees. Fellow demonstrators rushed to his aid, and as the pastor rubbed his face in pain, the agents continued to fire. “We could hear them laughing,” Black said.

I took my youngest to a birthday party a few weeks ago, and somebody put the soundtrack on the speaker, and all the kids stopped what they were doing and had a huge singing dance party. It’s a cultural obsession here. Its songs are on top playlists and it’s doing stratospheric numbers.
