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

It's like America's a bus
& an elderly narcissist speed addict
is maniacally driving us off a cliff;
and we're all staring at each other
because 30% of the passengers
enjoy that his driving upsets the rest of us.

I think countries around the world should levy tariffs specifically on Tesla in response to US tariffs, as well as banning Twitter as a national security threat
driving a wedge between our co-dictators may be the most effective thing they can do

If, for various reasons, you find yourself with a tighter budget in the coming months/years (or just want to save/invest as much as possible), remember to take full advantage of your local library — and not just for books.

We need publicly owned systems on the internet. Publicly owned alternatives. I'm not content with my only option to post my work to youtube, where I have to code my words in what is the internet's equivalent to cockney rhyming slang to not upset the machine in charge. It's absurd.

Here are the options on the table (which are not mutually exclusive):
1. House Dems bring articles of impeachment*
2. Senate Dems play constitutional hardball and obstruct everything
3. State AGs litigate (and prosecute) everything they can
4. Citizens march en mass

do you enjoy knowing that when you deposit money in a US bank, you won't lose that money? nice, right?
it's because bank deposits are insured by FDIC.
i don't know what FDIC ever did to these people, but apparently it too is now on their blow-it-up list:

Workplace raids have begun—none of these people were rapists or criminals.
Even if you’re not a US citizen, you still have due process in this country. 3 workers in Newark were taken into custody by ICE w/out a warrant. One, a veteran, endured the humiliation of having his military docs questioned.
