In an act that makes my prostate hurt even thinking about it, Corey Booker showed the only model that will help the Democrats survive—total opposition.
He broke segregationist Strom Thurmond’s record.
Chuck Schumer should step aside for him tomorrow.

Corey Booker Just Showed the Model: Total Opposition
Will the Democrats declare victory or see it as they should, a starting gun?

Corey Booker just raised the bar, concluding with a call for “good trouble.” Now his fellow Dems need to clear it—and raise it higher.

yall we can’t collectively screech that “no one’s doing anything!” and then say “no not like that” when someone actually does something.

"Bravery isn't an emotion, it's an action."
One lesson I had to learn the hard way while my mom was dying of cancer is that 95% of the time, being brave feels like absolute shit.
I feel like complete and utter shit right now. But bravery isn't an emotion, its an action.
Bravery isn't meant to feel good. Courage only exists in adversity.

Perhaps the point of this is not to deny rebellion, but to only go to war with those you trust implicitly.

This is what America is, even if you don’t want to see them. They deserve all of our support. Make sure you give them thanks before eating the food they helped get to your table.
Mayita shared this photo taken in the sweet potato fields of California. Her youngest daughter wanted a graduation photo in the fields to show how proud she is of her mom being a farm worker and how hard her mom had worked to invest in her children’s opportunities.

School libraries in Yakima Valley feel the pinch as districts cut back
School libraries and librarians play a key role in students' learning. But school districts are making tough budget decisions in the face of budget challenges and inflation.

It's Only Stanley by Jon Agee is a fun read-aloud picture book. I like the cat. I do wonder where the cat is in the last couple pages.

I grew up thinking #Barbie was just for girly girls who liked pink and that wasn't me. But as I get older, the more I realize that Barbie is pretty amazing and surprisingly feminist. So I made the @woobles.bsky.social one.

This is why reading is important. 50% of USians read so poorly that they are unable to perform simple tasks such as reading prescription drug labels. At least 45 million are functionally illiterate; 130 million more can't finish a children's book.
