Good morning everyone. It's me again here to ask NYC residents to please send a letter to your City Council person in support of allocating 0.5% of the city expense budget to our local public libraries. Thank you. It will only take you 90 seconds. This time with the correct link:

The amount is meaningless — less than one day of salary. But the principle is important: once the armed services are paid by the oligarchs, they become a private militia, and we no longer have a country.

Exactly this. It all counts
Amazing how all the serious and professional organizers I follow are overjoyed and energized by today, and the armchair edgy revolution types are demanding to know what if even accomplished to mobilize 7 million people and produce hours of morale-boosting footage of NORMIES saying "fuck you, man"

The US president trafficked & raped underage girls, the evidence is overwhelming, everyone knows it, and this country's elites & institutions are so broken, so insular, so decadent that we can't even bring ourselves to state it clearly, much less do anything about it.

Is there just simply never going to be a point where we can say what Trump clearly is and what’s clearly happening? Will he make himself president for life, demolish the Washington Monument and build a statue of himself, and the Times will still be talking about him like he’s Bush or Clinton
No one would have any confusion about what is happening if they saw it in another country.
Autocratic leader, building on racist propaganda, falsehoods about crime data, and an alleged assault on a member of his extralegal office devoted to gutting the budget, moves to have federal armed personnel take direct control of the streets of the capital city.
