  18. #Teen #artists portrayed their lives — some adults didn't want to see the full picture

    Elizabeth Blair
    July 28, 2025

    Excerpt: "The #protesters in the mural hold signs that read 'The climate is changing, why aren't we?' 'No human is illegal,' 'Protect kids, not guns' and '#FreePalestine.'

    "Mary Beth Tinker was impressed when she saw the mural on her way to speak about #freespeech. She said she "encouraged the students because they were making this beautiful mural about issues that they cared about. One of the issues featured was Free Palestine. And that's an issue that I care about.'

    "Tinker has a long history of advocating for free speech. In 1965, when she was an eighth-grader in Iowa, she and other students were suspended for wearing black armbands to school to protest the #VietnamWar. The incident led to the Supreme Court case Tinker v. Des Moines, in which a majority court ruled that students do not 'shed their constitutional rights to freedom of speech or expression at the schoolhouse gate.'

    "Tinker said she often tells students, 'You always can be proud of speaking up about the things that you really believe in because that's a life of integrity.'

    Smithsonian officials were not impressed

    "Flair Doherty said a Smithsonian staff member approached her and the other teen artists and told them she believed the 'Free Palestine' slogan was 'antisemitic and hateful.' Doherty, who is Jewish, said she told her she disagreed, 'We talked for maybe three minutes and did not really get anywhere.'

    " 'We went over the next day and it was completely covered in tarps,' said 18-year-old artist Léda Pelton, who had not yet finished her section of the mural about cars and college acceptance.

    "Pelton said Smithsonian officials told them they covered it up because they were 'afraid that somebody was going to walk by and see 'Free Palestine' on our mural and get mad and hurt us. And I'm like, 'maybe we are not the problem in that situation.' "

  21. "Meanwhile, Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson said Sunday he had no plans to bring lawmakers back from recess before the election to address requests for additional disaster relief as Hurricane Milton approaches the Florida coast as a Category 5 storm."

    #Republicans dropping disaster relief and refusing to come back from recess. Shame on #mikejohnson for leaving Americans out in the cold like this. #nprnews #republican_manipulation #republican_logic

  22. "In advance of the storm's arrival, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis issued a state of emergency for 51 counties. "You don't have to evacuate hundreds of miles," Ron DeSantis has said. "Every county has places within them that you can go to. Maybe it's a friend's house, maybe it's a hotel, maybe it's a shelter.""

    That's right, #desantis calls state of emergency yet argues to stay put. #nprnews

    What? That’s disappointing, especially from #NPR.

    I’ve heard rumblings this week making it sound as if Jack Dorsey invented the idea of decentralized social networks. 🫤

    I mean, I don’t care who goes where…social networks are clearly in flux right now, and people will scatter and group. But journalists are a big part of the social space, so it’d help to at least try to understand the choices.

  25. Every time I contribute to @npr, it announces a new round of layoffs affecting the very journalists I was intending to support. It’s starting to feel personal.

  26. @npr you did an amazing piece on not just a single group discussing race, but how we as a society can come to terms with #racism and #whitenationalism and move beyond it to a better world.
    Absolutely amazing work to Mrs. Elliot of #nprnews 🤩☺️

  28. I love me some #NPRNews but their doting coverage of the Holy See, and the fact that they have a dedicated Vatican reporter really rubs me the wrong way. So many resources focused on one religious order/tiny country of insignificance.
