NEW: ALA is going to court to stop the President’s attempts to illegally dismantle the Institute of Museum & Library Services.
The President does not have the authority to destroy a federal agency. That's why we're taking action with our co-plaintiff @afscme.bsky.social. #ForOurLibraries (1/3)

@jessicaturtle.bsky.social @ourmoh.bsky.social you are a superstar 🌟
Hugely deserved round of applause for your personal and powerful keynote contribution at the @homelesslink.bsky.social conference.
💓 Powerful takeaway that ending homelessness needs to be more about love than rules.

I’ll repeat
On Ukraine I’m guessing it’ll be the following:
1. Peace deal designed to put Ukraine in a position where it can’t ever accept
2. Ukraine then made out to be “aggressor” by US/Russia.
3. War continues - with Ukraine to blame.
4. US uses breakdown to continue to castigate Europe/NATO

I see that Trump is a feminist hero now, in a move from gender criticals that is entirely expected.

There was a seal playing in the Thames this morning. Combined with this sunrise, as me and @mattturtle.bsky.social step off the moorings and back to the museum, it feels like the week should have blessings in it.
Wishing everyone a good one 😊

The Stonewall uprising, now seen as a pivotal moment in the struggle for LGBTQ+ rights, was not universally welcomed by gay activists at the time.
The Mattachine Society, then the leading gay rights organisation, begged the rioters to stop.

What a week. Been running the shelter since Tuesday with a fantastic bunch of people.
What a privilege it is to do this in our own way in our own building after so many years campaigning for better and more provision.

Obviously the law impacts our queer lives, but...
...when I read about queer history I am reminded that queer people have always thrived despite attempts by the state to punish, silence, and extinguish us.

We are running our first ever emergency shelter here at the museum. The joy of simply being able to say "yes of course you can come in for the night" is such a contrast to having to try for hours (and often fail) to get someone indoors via official channels.

I REALLY wish all the papers and the BBC and other outlets would stop reporting on fucking El*n Musk, everything he says or does and legitimising him.
The only thing that should be amplified is the twitch stream where he was repeatedly owned by that excellent young person.

Israel has been quietly financing UK parliamentary staff, Declassified has found.
This comes after we revealed that one in four British MPs had accepted funding from the Israel lobby.
