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

“There’s a certain amount of rhetoric that we take as normal now . . . and it’s a really dangerous way to run a country,” Bishop Mariann Budde says. “If we talk to each other like that all the time, we are going down a path of self-destruction as a nation.”

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world.

Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

There’s still time to look up Project 2025 to see what we can do to fight back even in the smallest of ways.

and I scream from the top of my lungs WHAT’S GOIN ON?!”

I really felt that.
