Okay, I’m hoping this will gain some traction on Bluesky *inhales* SALEM PUBLIC LIBRARY IN OREGON IS IN DANGER OF CLOSING. This sets a dangerous precedent for state capital libraries!!
This is a continuation of the saga from last year, when we were saved at the last second by the then-mayor. (1/2)

But the government does get to decide what healthcare it covers, whose IDs are valid, which people it’s legal to discriminate against.
This culture war idiocy is so powerful. This is going to be a long fight.

The plan was always to flood the zone with shit.
Not everyone can respond to every outrage. That's on purpose. But no need to get mad at someone for focusing on stuff *you* don't think is important. Let everyone focus on what they want to focus on.

Current internal battle: Should I be terrified of Trump on main, or should I recognize that pretending like he has powers he does not have helps to grant him those powers.

Make sure your family’s vaccines are up to date. These fools may wind up revoking access to important ones.
![Tweet from @RepublicanVotersAgainstTrump, Text: "Q: 'What do you say to people that are worried that [RFK Jr's] views on vaccines will translate into policies that will make their kids left safe?' Trump: 'There are problems. We don’t do as well as a lot of other nations, and those nations use nothing.'" Below is a photo of Trump standing at a podium.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:y4zs4cabaezzwx3bz2e5nnj2/bafkreialsb225xygn2dpafmo5xyxwpgesqcs7hn5vqs3jtojstqvi32r3e@jpeg)

I'm once again asking for a show where a librarian, a bookseller, and a carpenter travel around helping people manage their out-of-control book collections. Discuss their sentimental value, their rarity, their histories, then build amazing book nooks and shelves and little libraries to organize them
