As infuriating as the conservative SCOTUS is, never forget that America’s genocide against its trans population is the child of “moderate” liberal outlets like the Atlantic and the New York Times, and especially Jesse Singal and Katie Herzog, who made healthy careers out of polishing bigotry.

Being a leftist in America feels like showing up to English class having done the reading, but being forced to listen to kid after kid who didn’t read the book try to sound like they read the book.
And you know they haven’t read the book, because you did.
Anyway, “the book” is history.

Last night the President signed an order to gut the Institute of Museum & Library Services. But together, we know we can show up & defeat it.

Deeply baffling that Trump claiming the power to control all regulations from regulatory agencies and fire anyone who disagrees with him is getting no attention at all
Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

We have been careful to avoid using the word coup, but it’s time to call it what it is—this is a coup. Trump signed an executive order granting only the attorney general or the president the authority to interpret laws executed by the executive branch.

Opinion | Libraries can help end the culture wars. That’s why they’re under fire.
Nothing threatens authoritarianism like a free, quiet place to absorb a full range of information.
