AOC: Fox News and the right-wing would have you believe that these American values are something out of The Communist Manifesto. But let me tell you Fox News, I don’t believe in healthcare, labor, and human rights because I’m a Marxist.. I believe it because I was a waitress.

#ICYMI: The confidential personal information of hundreds of thousands of alleged victims of housing discrimination, including victims of domestic violence, is now in DOGE’s hands.

I'm sorry, but "they took over the whole federal payments system, fired the career staff, and won't let anybody see what they're doing" is not a situation in which you wait for more information. It's a situation in which you assume the worst. There's no explanation for it other than rampant crimes.

Issuing a #BookChallenge to the world asking not to challenge books!

Decide not to read books in your own homes, it’s a decision between library grown-ups & library kids. Allow books to be books on bookshelves to show one they belong 💛

Every book isn’t for everyone, but every book is for someone ✨

This won't surprise you, but the Trump administration's DoE is lying. Civil Rights complaints aren't about sexual content, and the books removed aren't "obscene." These cases are about targeted efforts to remove books about the experiences of LGBTQ people and other minority groups. For example ...
For immediate release: The OCR will no longer investigate cases of discriminatory censorship.

Imagine a world where you could borrow most anything from your local library. How much stuff could you let go of? How much less of a carbon footprint would you leave? I want to live in a world with a library economy. youtu.be/NOYa3YzVtyk?...
