Progressive librarian who is pissed about the misogyny, racism and ignorance in our country. See what not voting, voting "3rd" party, or voting for the felon brought? We warned you. Now, what are we (you MAGAs too) going to do about it?

Public funds do not belong in private schools. The schools operate in a whole different realm than public schools and our tax dollars should not go to help support them.
We're all stuck in that Harry Potter movie where Delores Umbridge is in charge of schools and the evil people are released from Azkaban.
A policy expert described Education Secretary Linda McMahon’s push in favor of private schools as a “great American heist,” funneling money from public schools:

“It’s a strategic theft of the future of our country, our kids and our democracy.”

The great @timothysnyder.bsky.social explains why this new Trump-backed Ukraine plan sells out Ukraine, Europe, and democracies across the world. Take a few minutes and watch.

It is hard to put into words how much damage Trump is doing to our own country, how unfit and malevolent he is.
We have a US administration trying to bully Ukrainians into accepting Russia’s proposal that their sovereignty be undone. Aside from the naked injustice of this, there are five basic practical reasons why it would make the world far more dangerous.

“After the rally, demonstrators will march to the Capitol with Rep. Al Green (D-Texas) for what organizers say will be ‘record-breaking’ lobbying to Congress for Trump's impeachment and removal.

In June, Green also called for Trump's impeachment on the House floor.”

Because of their cowardice, there is no line Republicans won't let him cross. And partying with MBS has emboldened Trump like never before.
The President of the United States just called for Democratic members of Congress to be executed. "HANG THEM", he posted.

If you're a person of influence in this country and you haven't picked a side, maybe now would be the time to pick a fucking side.

Dear Mayor-elect Mamdani:
When you are at the White House, do not eat or drink anything that is offered to you.

Our lunatic president just spent the day with a murderous dictator and he is excited to try out some of the suggestions he has surely been given.

Thanks.

Hey Target: If you see this you might do as Julie suggests.
Target could improve their earnings in two seconds if they just brought back DEI programs so we could all shop there again.

Instead, I guess we’re doing this.
Target partnering with OpenAI is smart, but doesn't go far enough. The people obviously want in-store promotions on Nvidia Blackwell GPUs

Keep in mind that there is a lot of illegitimate traffic here and elsewhere when we’ve had a big win.

Today the Epstein Files Transparency Act passed the Senate unanimously and the House with but one down vote.

Texas maps also got thrown out.

Don’t fall for the naysaying.

I absolutely love Representative Raskin.
Raskin: "In the very presence of the victims and survivors, the Speaker said that 'now is a time we should be working on urgent legislative work.' Mr Speaker, justice is urgent legislative work. The truth is urgent legislative work. You were the one who refused to swear in Rep. Grijalva for 50 days"

President Trump claimed that he would cut electricity prices in half within a year.

My new report shows that, in reality, Americans in almost every single state are facing higher electricity bills this year.
