Part of me appreciates the sympathetic press boycott of the White House over its recent banning of large news outlets. Part of me is concerned that this only offers a window for Trump and his ilk to even more quickly operate with malice and ignorance, under more cover.

Good morning. In another forum a non-Jew was shocked by the regular practice of armed guards at American synagogues. My curiosity is now genuinely piqued. I wonder how frequent this is at American churches, mosques, and other houses of worship. Please share if you have insight or experiences.
We just want more affordable housing in Philly and public schools that don’t close. 🤷
Who cashed in what karmic coupons for us to get great LPs from Nine Inch Nails, Boards of Canada, and now Interpol IN THE SAME YEAR?
Ever watch a streaming movie based solely on the still image or lead actor and not read the synopsis? How’d that go for you? We picked ‘War Machine’ on Netflix because we saw Alan Ritchson in it. About 1/3 of the way through we went, “Well, THAT took a hard left turn.”
Dolly Parton with Keith Haring in 1985, incredible woman and supporter of LGBTQ people for decades going back to a time when few others dared.

True story, just happened: I told one of my colleagues that I’ve been running hot lately, above and beyond the summer weather. Feeling constantly warm and sweaty, needing drinks, fans, AC, 2 showers/day. She said I might have peri-MAN-opause.
"The Department of the Treasury announced this week that it would destroy the government’s registry of shell-company ownership. This is an anti-corruption database that Treasury is by law *required* to maintain." Man, this simulation suuuuuuuucks.
Trump’s Gift to the Money Launderers
Treasury isn’t merely shutting down an anti-corruption database. It’s deleting the data so future investigators can’t use it.

I just read details about Milgram’s experiment and, considering the current moment, if anything got set up like that today I hope people would realize it was OK to walk away from the button.

This sucks. Death is coming for the club kids.
Resharing a gift article, hope it works. Not the School District of Philadelphia's annual fiscal audit (the one that just found late retirement payouts and buildings with lost equipment), but one addressing fundamental functional decisions and if they influenced SDP's current school closure plans.
A sweeping audit of the Philadelphia School District’s management and operations is coming, at City Council President Kenyatta Johnson’s request
City Controller Christy Brady will conduct the audit, examining not just the district's finances, but also management and operations. She'll look into administrative and consultant costs.
