My friend's little brother needs to have brain surgery and their family is already drowning in debt with medical bills before the surgery has even been performed. Please help in any small way if you can 💚

I’m a part time librarian and I just want to echo what I’ve seen other librarians say recently: there is a HUGE uptick in requests for social justice, climate justice, abolition, history, etc books and I just want to say nobody is giving up the fight. If anything people are fighting harder #library

I knew all this was going to happen. But nothing can really prepare you for what it feels like when the moment actually arrives. This is why we need each other and our communities. I plan to turn to them a lot in the coming years.

New on MSNBC: Vice President Harris will fly back to Los Angeles today with an all-female U.S. Air Force crew — the first time an all-female crew has operated a C-33.
 
Upon landing, Harris will visit a local fire station and then distribute food to community members impacted by the wildfires.
