No kid should ever have to protest or advocate for their friends’ basic humanity.
But they’re standing up at No Kings anyway.

Whoever came up with the idea of mocking this gratuitously cruel regime with cute, nonthreatening plastic frogs really hit a gold mine. The clever imagery has made it all the way across the Atlantic.

Hark, Speaker Mike Johnson! Looking at all the many, many pics of the enormous, joyous “No Kings” rallies throughout the United States today, I am struck by what lovely weather your Lord and Savior provided. Apparently, God is a fan of, as you claimed, "America-hating Antifa terrorists." Glory!

Public libraries don’t get the overall credit they deserve in this day and age. They provide so much access to free knowledge and entertainment for people. They are quiet, calm, and soothing. I can sit in one for hours and get lost in different worlds.

A reminder that every small bit of good you do - whether it be putting art into the world, helping a friend or stranger, donating to a good cause, or just listening to someone who needs to vent - offsets all the evil in the world just a little bit. And sometimes that's just what the world needs.

Having kids has completely rekindled my love and admiration of public libraries - what wonderful and magical realms they are.
Like it's genuinely thrilling to suggest going to the library as an activity and the boys are really enthusiastic about it.
