I know most of the focus is on RFK Jr.'s weird horny texts, but the news that he used to spam Bill Nye with anti-vax weirdness and Bill was like, "Dude, you're you're confusing correlation for causation" is the only RFK text-message news I will ever need.

Find myself thinking about these words by Kurt Vonnegut: ...the America I loved still exists, if not in the White House or the Supreme Court or the Senate or the House of Representatives or the media. The America I love still exists at the front desks of our public libraries.

“We’re closing the door on some of the filth read before the Committee over the past two years.”
So these people haven’t read any books. He’s not even familiar with Romeo & Juliet, he admits. They’ve passed a whole book banning bill based on excerpts of books they heard in committee hearings.

BREAKING: Texas Republicans just passed a major book banning bill.
They say it’s about protecting kids from “filth.”
But when I questioned the bill author, he admitted that it could ban classics like Romeo and Juliet, Catcher in the Rye, and Lonesome Dove.

Gonna try to say this in the most positive way possible since I'm seeing a lot of weird negativity: doing nothing does -- you're not going to believe this -- nothing.
On the other hand getting the word out about shopping local, even if it only changes a few minds today, is a good thing.

Reminder that today is an economic blackout. Don't buy from chains or big box stores!
However! You are still encouraged to shop at local and small businesses, and you can, of course, still buy medicine, food and emergency supplies.
Good explainer here:

Marsha P. Johnson is an indelible icon of the gay liberation movement of the 60’s and 70’s. She identified as a drag queen & transvestite and advocated for unhoused LGBTQ+ youth and those with HIV and AIDS. She and Sylvia Rivera were on the frontlines of the Stonewall uprising.

"What I find most charming in this study are the quotes, which the rschrs highlight in 'Patron Voices' sections. They’re full of great little lines, like people calling the library 'a touchstone' and 'a place to rely on,' and that 'knowing it’s there makes me feel better about my life in the city.'"
