Trump is literally trying to fly around on a plane from a foreign government while serving as President. That’s a violation of the Constitution.
The Emoluments Clause wasn’t a suggestion. It’s the LAW.

In today’s atmosphere, it’s obvious why a book warning of totalitarian censorship would be in the American Library Association’s list of most commonly challenged books

There has been a shift in the Trump team's language in their anti-DEI attacks. All of a sudden they started calling it "DEIA", with the A being "accessibility". If you don't think it's a coordinated effort to remove disabled people from every facet of life, well I have news for you.

I have always loved public libraries, but having young children has exponentially increased my gratitude and sense of indebtedness to them. Our local library is such a huge part of our lives. The books, the programming, the very intentionally curated kids’ section. It’s all such a gift.

I'm starting to really really love isolated vocals of famous songs. Because yes, I know Stevie Wonder and Freddie Mercury can sing.
But man, when the mic is on and the instruments are gone, you can really experience how perfect and damn near spiritual their voices are.
