I will not promise you that tomorrow will be better. That would be wishful thinking. But I assure you that tomorrow could be better, and that you have it in you to fight for it, to make a glorious effort to make it so.

With the demise of Joann's, I'm going to share a few online resources I've found. It's by no means exhaustive, but hopefully it helps folks find what they need. 🧵
Joann, a destination for generations of lovers of crafts projects for 80 years, is going out of business and shuttering all its stores

Trump is teaching his minions to say, "We didn't insure anyone"/"They deserved it."

Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who killed so many children in Samoa they ran out of child-sized coffins, has been confirmed to lead Health and Human Services.
The vote was 52-48. All Dems and Mitch McConnell, whose fault this is, voted no. All other Republicans voted yes. The blood will be on their hands.

When the Patriot Act was passed, libraries got requests for patrons’ borrowing history. We were prohibited from disclosing those requests.
We deleted and shredded those records and stopped tracking reading history for that reason.
