Remember: The fundamental issue isn’t the size of the government or how to make government more “efficient.” 

It’s who our government is for.

Should it work mainly for big corporations and billionaires, including the richest person in the world — or for the rest of us?

We have a president who is not only taking power from Congress, but from the judiciary as well.

We are on the verge of a dictatorship.
Trump's Tyranny Is Undeniable
The only qualification to be in Trump's Cabinet is complete and total loyalty to him, not the United States. This is how a dictatorship rises.

The Trump-Vance-Musk regime is not only undermining democracy in the US.

It is laying the foundation for undermining democracies around the world.

The emerging battle will be global democracy vs. a global oligarchy.

The US is emerging on the side of global oligarchy.

The "first they came..." poem gets quoted and quoted and quoted and quoted and you know what, we do in fact know who they're coming for first, right now, and that is trans people, and the answer needs to be "absolutely the fuck not, you motherfuckers," full stop.

As the U.S. shifts into a volatile political landscape targeting critical thinking, I want to share an important reminder to the #booksky community:

The only way to preserve literature is by collecting physical copies.

I know, Kindle users, it sucks—but your digital copy can be deleted any time.

One thing before tomorrow:

Use your local libraries.

Get your card.

Borrow books, manga, films, audios, ebooks.

Recommend titles for purchase (usually online).

Attend promoted activities.

Fill out those "How are we doing?" questionnaires.

Tell your kids that libraries are good.

They are.
