NPR newscasts now officially too depressing - Lemon Drop - 04-29-2025
Yesterday driving home the stories were:
1. Trump wants to end the 988 suicide hotline service. This is specialized help for LGBTQ+ youth, a group particularly vulnerable to suicide.
This program is known to save lives. Why in the hell would you cut this?? Really hate gay kids that much?

2. A long but compelling interview with the Columbia University activist detained by ICE. Shameful.
Not NPR's fault that they have to deliver so much disturbing news. It is just overwhelming. Have to keep screaming for this stuff to stop, because sometimes that works.

Trump has no use for old, disabled, sick, or LGBTQ+people - unless they're rich, can afford healthcare and are contributing to his wealth.

This was from a week or two ago, but (at that time at least) apparently when you clicked on “Resources for International Students” on Columbia’s website, you got linked to ICE:
Sad that Columbia fell so far when they rolled over to a bully.

You can't believe this unless you can reproduce it yourself... at least I can't.

Well, it was dated over two weeks ago; it’s possible that they changed this because of bad press.
But that’s why I qualified this with “apparently”.
