Canadians, part of the proposed tariffs for April is a 25% tariffs on books. This would be devastating for Canada's book industry, with very little impact on the US.

Please start using your local libraries! Books, movies, and so much more! Mine is even open on Sunday which is amazing! If you don’t have a dvd player go to a local audio/ video store and pick one up cheap! Get rid of streaming platforms!

I unironically use my local library a lot. Ebooks, audio books, physical books, the seed exchange, the meeting spaces?? Passport services?? Citizenship and English classes? I grew up in the teen hangout area as a housing insecure youth with a bad parent. Libraries are important, I'm pissed

Community protection from measles is maintained when 95% or more of the population is fully vaccinated.

Today, only 12 states meet that threshold, with some of the worst states (ex: Idaho, Florida) dropping as low as 79.6%.
