America has lost a titan in the struggle for civil rights and racial justice. From his days at the side of Dr. King, to his moral leadership in this century, Rev. Jesse Jackson, Sr. spent his life pushing our nation closer to its own ideal.

I am the rare librarian who does not set reading goals.
It creates anxiety & something "to do." It robs me of the joy of reading.
My 2026 "reading goal" is to read what I want & to enjoy the act of reading.
That may be 1 book. It may be 100. Doesn't matter.

Thank you to the organizers of today's wildly successful (and peaceful) "No Kings" rallies. You did an amazing job. And thanks to all the millions of people who showed up to give us faith. And a special shout out to the White House regime and the Speaker of the House for all the free publicity!

Funny, how the "No Kings" protesters were "elderly white hippies" in August (per Stephen Miller), but are "pro-Hamas terrorists and violent criminals" in October (per Karoline Leavitt).
It's *almost* as if this regime makes its shameless lies up as it goes along . . .

As a bookish kid, I admired the Supreme Court for having the character to unanimously come out against segregation in the 1950s, when no other branch of our government would have had that courage.
So it saddens me to see it lose its way and endorse judging people for the color of their skin today.

If you don’t think Trump is compromised, ask yourself how Ghislaine Maxwell got a meeting with Todd Blanche and how Putin got a summit on American soil.
