Column: As Trump was sworn in, day laborer organizer Pablo Alvarado did what he always does
If anyone has advice on how to stand up to Trump and his vowed crackdown on illegal immigration, it’s Pablo Alvarado -- even now, after the devastation of the Eaton fire.

Today I counted more than 50 subreddits that went through with banning links from X, reaching more than 40 million combined members. At least 20 million of those members were encouraged to join Bluesky, instead.

More than 50 Reddit communities ban X links to protest Musk
The cascade of link bans came after Musk made a hand gesture at a Monday rally that many compared to a Nazi salute, which many cited in their protests, among other things.

Is it just my imagination or is the recent criticism “talk like normal people” have nothing to do with regular people, their issues or giving them power; and everything to do with trying to reverse engineer blue Hannity?
