Just imagine how these evildoers would react to Fahrenheit 451 if they didn’t misread it as a viable game plan.
It's not just laws about books that are breaking libraries. Several states have passed property tax reforms–or are in the process of passing them–that are dismantling, destroying, and defunding these public institutions of democracy.

Solidarity is a verb:
Saturday saw us buyout 8, Sunday was 10 and we swarmed a local bakery. Over $4,000 from the community, to vendors, food to the community. Thursday is our next home buyout, Saturday our last tour, bonfire that night to celebrate, Sunday Burrito Brigade. #BikeChi persists. 🫶🏽✊🏽🙏🏽

This is far worse than anyone expected.
Trump's HUD plan would cut *two-thirds* of permanent housing and push as many as 170,000 formerly homeless people back onto the street—redirecting funds to work mandates, forced treatment, and encampment sweeps.
All as mass internment camps are being built.

The soft pedaling language being used to describe the men in the Epstein files is enraging.
They didn’t “have sex with underage girls”.
They raped them.
Sex implies consent.
The survivors deserve better than this. Use the correct language. Say what these men did.

Masking works. My respirator has kept me free from Covid and flu for six years. 😷
Vaccines are great, but not inhaling viruses into your body is super cool when vaccines do not provide 100% protection. Vaccines & masking in combination FTW.
