She needs you to imagine the violent crimes because most of them are in fact imaginary
Bondi defends migrant rendition flights to a slave prison in El Salvador: "It's basic public safety. Get these people out of our country as fast as we can. They're not immigrants. They're illegal aliens who are committing the most violent crimes you can imagine on Americans."

Bookstores and libraries are NOT sworn enemies. We are two sides of the same coin, a pretty great coin. A coin that supports literacy, community events, and access to books. You can support either or both without guilt!

I've been seeing a lot of posts about readers trying to curb their own book buying. Let me remind you of the library. Libraries can use your support now more than ever. When you checkout library books this lets funding authorities know the library is worthy of taxpayer money. 1/3
