Please, no DMs (unless you're an agent, and what are the chances of that?).

Dori Blake would do anything for Jack Kim except tell him this: she’s suffered a vision of his best friend’s murder. His friend

Public libraries need our help! Here's one impactful way to show support for our public libraries:

Contact the Congressional Appropriations Committees in support of funding for the Institute of Museum and Library Services, which they'll determine next week.

BREAKING: A federal judge reversed National Institutes of Health's terminations of hundreds of critical research grants that were canceled because of their alleged connection to disfavored topics, including diversity, equity, inclusion, and gender identity.

This is a major win for public health.

Trump says mass deportations are urgent—but not if they mess with his donors’ pockets.

ICE was told to back off farms & hotels 'cause it was bad for business. But LA and Chicago? Open season.

Please be for real—this is the weaponization of government against cities that refuse to bow down to him.

Senator Mike Lee pretended he was on the phone to avoid being confronted by @smith.senate.gov after he mocked assassination victims this weekend. She made sure he heard what she had to say.

There are widespread reports of ICE agents abducting people while masked, without warrants or identification. Due to recent events, we strongly advise: do not open your door or car for anyone you don’t know. That’s the message. No need to elaborate.

By now, we've all seen the video of Senator Alex Padilla (D-CA) being forcibly removed and handcuffed for asking a question during Kristi Noem's press conference.

But what Noem said just moments before the video was taken is "classic authoritarian red-baiting," points out @davidcorn.bsky.social.

A group of us have arrived on the Senate floor to challenge our colleagues - on both sides of the aside - to rise to this moment and jointly condemn what has happened to Sen. Padilla. Yes we still need to collect the full facts, but this appears to be a defining moment for the country.

Padilla: If this is how DHS responds to a senator with a question you can only imagine what they're doing to farm workers, to cooks, to day laborers out in the Los Angeles community and throughout California.

This is terrifying in America. ICE agents are showing up masked—these abductions must stop. If you’re going to detain someone, show your face, present a warrant, and proper ID. Disappearing people from their families without evidence or accountability isn’t law enforcement—it’s state-sponsored fear.

Many products sold in the U.S. are made in El Salvador. In response to the El Salvador president’s statements today, we’re calling for an immediate boycott of all Salvadoran-made goods. Please help by listing any products or brands made in El Salvador in the comments below.

Out in May from Tuttle Publishing

"This is a book to be savoured as much for the presentation and illustration as for the traditional stories it brings together."

I agree.

In a functioning democracy, we would already be in the midst of an impeachment trial.
