This NPR article is a finely wrought example of what the U.S. president & cronies fought so hard to defund and destroy. Not looking forward to coverage of Trump’s insults or ignorance of the island nation now suffering.

ANY ARRESTS? Among the millions upon millions of "violent leftist radicals" that took to the streets today I cannot find word of a single arrest. Even when everything is peaceful there is usually an overzealous cop or something. This is unheard of. We need to beat the media over the head with it.

In my experience fighting for university faculty, the only way to spell "administration" is after the fact with spell-check, as "adminstration" is not ever going to be correct. There's an extra "i" in there that they're missing.

Reading about Dr Goodall’s work in my gen-ed prereq days, & bringing a notebook to the Detroit zoo, brought me THIS CLOSE to switching from Lit & Poli Sci to Anthropology.

Charlie Kirk dropped out of community college after one semester. He had previously applied to West Point but was rejected.
AOC: We should be clear about who Charlie Kirk was. A man who believed that the civil rights act that granted black Americans the right to vote was a mistake… His rhetoric and beliefs were ignorant, uneducated, and sought to disenfranchise millions of Americans.

A Labor Day reminder of the blood, sweat, and tears that those before us paid to give the working class the basic rights that Trump and his thugs are trying to strip away.
