  1. #Residents of #Springfield, #Ohio, #hunkerdown and #pray for a political firestorm to blow over.

    Between the morning #bombsweeps of #Springfield’s #schools and the near daily afternoon #mediabriefings, a #hush comes over the city of 58,000 that #residents say is uncanny, haunting even. It’s #fear. It’s #confusion#dismay at being transformed overnight into a #target for the nation’s #Racist #vitriol

  2. SpaceAce Sunday | Buffalo Springfield (1966, Canada/US)

    Our next Self-Titled Summer spotlight is on number 1054 on The List. And, as it was submitted by our dear friend J aka SpaceAce, this is technically a SpaceAce Sunday. Why not on a Sunday? Well. Today is a year since he left us. A whole year. Makes no sense at all.

    I knew I wouldn’t want to write this post so, after noticing that the next submission from J was a s/t, I started the whole Self-Titled Summer series to psych myself up. That didn’t work though, as I wrote the last STS post a couple weeks ago and have been stalled on this since. I even did a full listen-through of Carly Rae Jepsen’s entire discography to see if that would help (J was a HUGE Carly fan). But it didn’t.

    So, if you don’t mind, rather than giving this album – Buffalo Springfield’s debut – the regular STS treatment, I’m just going to leave it at a few random thoughts I had when I gave it my first listen, just over a month ago, and imagine what J would have to say about it.

    • Seems like the perfect SpaceAce pick to land on today, given J’s origins were also Canada/US.
    • I did not know Buffalo Springfield was a Neil Young band or that they’re the ones responsible for the fantastic protest single “For What It’s Worth”, a song I’ve always absolutely loved. As soon as I pressed play on this album and heard the first few notes of that song, I literally smiled and thanked J out loud.
    • There are variances in the tracklists, depending on what version/medium you’re listening to. Only some include “For What It’s Worth” (recorded after the album was first released, then added for the reissue a few months later), either as the first track or somewhere on side B; “Leave” seems to be on different sides depending on the variant; and “Baby Don’t Scold Me” is missing completely from some variants and streaming services (swapped out for “For What It’s Worth”).
    • Aside from “For What It’s Worth”, the other stand out track for me is “Out of My Mind”, with Neil Young on main vocals.

    Thanks, J. Love that I’m still learning from you.

    You are still very much missed.

    “No, the doves of peace do not perch on gallows! No, the forces of freedom cannot mingle the sons of the victims with the executioners of Madrid and elsewhere! Of that, at least, we shall henceforth be sure, as we shall be sure that freedom is not a gift received from a State or a leader but a possession to be won every day by the effort of each and the union of all.” - Albert Camus

  13. More bomb threats hit Springfield, Ohio, after Trump elevates false claims about Haitians

    Hospitals were sent into lockdown, government buildings shut down and local schools evacuated

    Two hospitals in #Springfield, Ohio, were sent into #lockdown after #bomb #threats, police said on Saturday,
    marking ♦️the fourth such case in as many days that appears ♦️linked to false claims circulating among the far right that Haitian #immigrants there are #eating domestic #pets and wildlife.

    Saturday’s threats came 🔸even after the woman who started the rumors acknowledged to NBC News that they were #unfounded and publicly apologized.🔸

    #Kettering Health Springfield was one of the medical facilities targeted, with officials later saying they found nothing suspicious during a search. Another hospital, #Mercy Health’s Springfield regional medical center, received a similar threat.

    A spokesperson with Mercy Health said the hospital had continued to operate and thanked Springfield police as well as hospital staff “for their swift, efficient and caring response”.

    The bomb threats on Saturday came after others had been called in to #government #buildings Thursday, forcing their closure and causing local #schools to be #evacuated.
    “We recognize that the past few days have been particularly challenging for everyone in our community,” Springfield police said in a statement. Police added “we remain fully committed to ensuring the safety and wellbeing of each and every person”.

    On Friday, a Springfield woman,
    👉#Erika #Lee, #apologized for rumors about Haitian immigrants eating pets that resulted from a post she wrote on Facebook claiming that the friend of a neighbor’s daughter lost her cat – and then found the animal strung up outside the home of a Haitian family.

    🔸Lee now says she had no firsthand knowledge of the claim. The neighbor referenced in the post, Kimberly Newton, revealed that she also had heard the story from an acquaintance and not her daughter.
    Lee said she was filled with regret and insists she never intended to put a target on the backs of the Haitian community.

    “It just exploded into something I didn’t mean to happen,” Lee told NBC News on Friday.
    ❇️Local authorities in Springfield had already debunked the lies even 🔸before #Donald #Trump made the allegation that Haitian immigrants were eating pets during the debate with Kamala Harris on Tuesday.
    Lee told the outlet she never imagined her social media post would become fodder for #conspiracy #theories and #hate aimed at the Haitian community in Springfield.
