Too soon, Melville. Too soon.
But shall this crazed old man be tamely suffered to drag a whole ship’s company down to doom with him?

I’m a part time librarian and I just want to echo what I’ve seen other librarians say recently: there is a HUGE uptick in requests for social justice, climate justice, abolition, history, etc books and I just want to say nobody is giving up the fight. If anything people are fighting harder #library

Anyone telling you that Democrats in Congress can't do anything to fight back against Trump because they're in the minority is one (or all!) of these things:
a. Lying to you
b. Wrong
c. A Democrat in Congress
So, I'll add to the voices of former congressional staffers to set the record straight.

I’ve said this before, but my dad lost 4 siblings to polio & smallpox before the age of 10. They would be here today if they had access to vaccines. I wish we could trade those antivaxxers for my aunts & uncles.
As an Indian, my contempt for (rich white) anti-vaxxers in the west is so deep I often cannot quite find the words to express my contempt.
I grew up seeing polio-disabled children and adults crawling over rubble and roads in India.
My father worked for the Pulse Polio program.
What is happening?

Lots of people are about to be really mad that price of eggs goes up but they can’t get a 2nd job because they can’t afford childcare and when they do finally get the eggs they get E Coli because there’s no FDA but can’t go to the doctor because they got kicked off their health plan. #FAFO

Guys! I just realized we have an actual national three party system now!
Tattered Tent Party - it may also be a burning tent, hard to tell tbh.
Make America Grift Again Party - back to basics baby.
Leopards Eating Faces Party - so excited for them, honestly.

It’s hard to focus right now. I want to amplify that in addition to reinforcing community, experiencing and doing art of all kinds will be important - music, dance, theatre, the fine arts - and humor and satire. Recommended: Charlie Chaplin’s classic The Great Dictator.
