Libraries matter. Access matters.
After years of legal battles, the Internet Archive is still here—and still fighting for a world where everyone can read, learn, and remember.

Thou shalt replace Chuck Schumer with Chris Van Hollen, who personally went to El Salvador to find Kilmar. That’s the kind of courage we need right now.

Democratic voters don’t want passive or “reach across the aisle” politics while we are fighting literal fascism.
Look at Texas Democrats. Fight like that. We’ll reward you at the polls.
Stand up. Link arms. Draw a line in the sand. Tell the Republicans we won’t put up with this shit. Fight back.

Two things Trump doesn't want you talking about:
1. Why he's refusing to release the Epstein Files.
2. Why he prevents everyone from sharing information about the "assassination attempt" in Butler.
Our duty as responsible citizens and defenders of democracy...is to keep talking about it.

Great ideas to keep cool
This heat wave is absolutely bone crushing. I'm so glad I installed central air two years ago.

1/ I know a lot of people supported Trump because they believe in strong borders and law & order.
But what’s happening now isn’t law & order.
It’s cruelty. Plain and simple.
And people need to see it.
