The Arlington VA library system is terrific and has a badass head librarian: Diane Kresh, who shared this message:

Hey, here’s some of what @thedemocraticparty.bsky.social did today 👋🏽

Montgomery County Public Schools comes out and tells Trump to pound sand with his EO telling schools that they have to discriminate against transgender students.

Making America Great Again!

i think it is important to say that the open and explicit racism of the president and the vice president isn’t just uncouth or “controversial” but a direct attack on tens of millions of americans and a dereliction of their duty to represent the entire country

An update on the TikTok situation from our monitoring on Reddit. Now you get TOS'ed for saying negative comments about meta and Zuckerberg, left-wing politics get flagged as misinformation, and you can't tag #fucktrump #fuckelon or #fuckmeta but you CAN tag #fuckbiden and #fuckkamala

In case you're just tuning in...

Donald Trump refused to put his hand on the Bible while taking the oath of office to uphold the Constitution.

And Elon Musk did the Nazi salute. Twice.

This is going about as you'd expect.
