🚨BREAKING: Kentucky family rejects a $26 million offer to turn their farmland into a data center, roughly 10x the area’s going rate.
“If it’s my way, I’ll stay and hold and feed a nation. 26 million doesn’t mean anything.”
can't say the same about recent @AP and @CNN articles—both full of tired and reaching quotes. at least @Reuters led with a protesting student quote and the protest demands.
I’ve seen student journalists operate both tirelessly and more effectively than the professionals- claiming partial knowledge when that’s what they have, reporting truthfully, not repeating mischaracterizations. (6/10)
“Dissent must never lead to disorder” - President Biden.
From Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s “Letter From Birmingham Jail,” written in 1963:
“I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in the stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Council-er or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I can't agree with your methods of direct action;" who paternalistically feels he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by the myth of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait until a "more convenient season."
I live by Columbia. Tonight I went for a walk & saw 10+ blocks rapidly barricaded, dozens of police vehicles flying by, large groups of NYPD in riot gear gathering.
I study protest in E Europe. What I saw tonight was some of the most wildly disproportionate policing I've seen

BREAKING: This brilliant speech yesterday by a Columbia professor on the cowardice of the university administration in calling in police to arrest students will be cited throughout history -– and will inspire generations of students for decades to come.
Columbia still on lockdown two days later.⤵️
In a texted statement to the Daily Bruin, Faculty for Justice in Palestine member Graeme Blair said student protesters are being “violently dragged” from the encampment by CHP. He added that officers have guns loaded with less-than-lethal rounds pointed at students.
i’ve read a handful of articles about the student encampments (ap, cnn, etc) w/o one single quote from an actual student protesting…even when up to 8 other sources were quoted. y tho
I feel like I'm losing my mind a little: people understand that "occupying buildings on campus" is, like, one of the most common forms of studen protest for decades and not some devious new ploy devised by professional anarchist plotters, right?
Explainer: Democrats and Republicans have a tentative agreement on raising the debt ceiling. One of the provisions of the agreement is that it codifies an end to the pause on student loans—September 1st. This has huge and catastrophic financial implications for 50M+ people.
@kenziek1101 @UpNorth2026 @LeaderBookFL right. these women are being sent home without being given meds. the important part isn't that they're sent home; it's that they're sent home w/o care.
@PNWSelina@LMplusG@LeaderBookFL selina, just bc you don't believe it or want to believe it, doesn't make it untrue. even if you don't like the messenger. millions of drs are now under the threat of arrest for providing previously legal care.
There are some MAJOR shenanigans going on in Kentucky. Republicans attempted to pass a bill with no Democrats present, amended in a healthcare ban into SB150, and made the announcement with mics off during lunch break.
Contact your legislators and let them know its unacceptable!
Happening now.
Kentucky's house is hearing SB150.
It was rushed after being announced DURING LUNCH, with the mics off. Democrats are furious and the bill is only available thanks to @oliviakrauth taking phone pictures.
It tells docs how to detransition kids.
Follow with me.
Hey y’all. Are you looking for HRT but don’t know where to start? Worried about therapist letters and gatekeepers? I made this two years ago and have maintained it since. EVERY informed consent HRT spot in the country. No therapist required.

Never forget that #PopeBenedictXVI excommunicated a 9-year old child for having a life-saving abortion after her stepfather raped her and impregnated her with twins. Excommunicated her mother too. Guess who he didn't excommunicate? The rapist stepfather. https://t.co/TZIwwOdPPU
