Disemboweling our Constitution does not serve anyone's "side". It's not Liberal or Conservative. In fact, illegally suspending any part of our Constitution is the exact opposite of Conservative. The rule of law protects all of us, every American, regardless of politics.

Most policies now, through ACA, have high deductibles or high copays, so folks avoid it. Especially the younger, healthier individuals. It's heinous how easily these MAGAts lie to the public. Lying for political purposes SHOULD be illegal. It is in advertising!

A lot of people are not using this insurance because of the $5,000 or $10,000 deductible. But baby Oz doesn't understand any of this.

This line from Ketanji Brown Jackson—that the Court's "objective is protecting guns"—is clearly right, but it's pretty unusual for justices to put sentiments like this in writing ballsandstrikes.org/ethics-accou...

Immigration lawyers warn that sending Haitian migrants back to their country puts them in danger, citing four women who were beheaded after deportation in February.

The most dangerous thing about AI is not that the machines might one day think. It is that we are being trained, by men with enormous financial gains riding on our acquiescence, to stop thinking for ourselves.

Black soldiers fought for their own freedom in the Civil War and played a pivotal role in freeing the enslaved people of Texas on Juneteenth. Learn more by reading this National Geographic article. www.nationalgeographic.com/history/arti...

My main worry is that we’re banning social media for kids but not AI. So you can’t speak to real people online anymore, kids, but you sure can talk to your fake artificial friend who weirdly loves to talk about taking your own life!

A lovely tribute to Jane Yolen from the The New York Times . . . www.nytimes.com/2026/06/14/b... #JaneYolen

What you wish you could be doing in New York right now is what you could be doing when It happens. HAVE A PLAN.

The Knicks had this one ready to go.

As a reminder for everyone saying, "The US had never before scored four goals in a World Cup" that they mean the men's team had never before scored that many. The women's team has absolutely scored more than four goals in a world cup, including in the final. And they also wins things.

The Authors Guild are in partnership with an AI Licensing company. They're trying to funnel members to this company in the guise of 'earning more' from their books. But even if an author is paid for a 3 year licence, their books are in the meat grinder for good. There's no way to extract titles.

It's the Bezoses and do-nothing Speaker Mike Johnsons of the world who are creating conditions allowing all the money to concentrate at the top of the publishing world while everyone else fights for scraps. Libraries support authors! This is a class issue, not a distribution issue..

Authors blaming libraries for lower pay gives off real "let's you and him fight" energy. The real reason authors don't get paid what they're worth is an exploitative system created by corporate consolidation among publishers, distributors, and retailers.

Happy Book Drop Day to @naomikritzer.bsky.social and her superlative new book, Obstetrix! I urge everyone to buy a copy now (from an independent bookstore, if possible). Minneapolis peeps, she has signed copies at Dreamhaven and @moonpalacebooks.bsky.social. us.macmillan.com/books/978125...

100% this if you leave nonbinary people out of anything that is “for” all trans people, it’s not really for trans people at all none of us without all of us

So the next time your city council says they can’t afford something, or a state legislator says there’s just no money, or any elected official presents you with the false binary of raising taxes or cutting services, ask them one question: what non-tax revenue streams has this government explored /1

Not trying to milk this; it's on my mind for obv reasons. I often talk abt the lack of opportunities I receive in comics despite my CV. That exclusion is compounded by public vitriol from industry "luminaries" & the response. MF says this terrible shit; ppl will STILL be like "but American Flagg"

OK it's been a long day. Good night everyone. May tomorrow bring us more justice and some peace.

Today my hold for Make Me Better by @sarahgailey.bsky.social arrived and she is coming to my library in two weeks! Do I start reading, or do I wait until I see her and have my personal signed copy?

Might’ve laughed a bit too hard at this.

Word on the reef is, shrimp are SO in this season. A crab told me. And bonus? These shirts fund our fall Philly Bug mural series. 3 Murals, 3 Artists, 3 Neighborhoods, All bugs baby. Don't get caught without a crustacean. Tell your friends. Get a shrimp shirt. At SquidFacts.net (pls RT)

Faculty: libraries and librarians need your advocacy BEFORE our collections are shuttered and our workers are fired. Whether you think your library is in trouble, and it almost definitely is, write to your provost and tell them how essential the library and library staff are to your work. Right now.

That’s so cool, I bet they could really benefit from increased budgets!

What happened when I gave my therapist my book (in which I talk to her about how I hope the brilliant @profkori.bsky.social @victorerikray.bsky.social @samhita.bsky.social Kiese Laymon, Toni Morrison & James Baldwin can be helpful to her practice and her other patients).

There’s something about this, looking at Trump’s sneer that now no one is watching Colbert, the realization that there are a lot of people in power who don’t understand the pleasure of doing something because it’s something you enjoy doing and do well, as opposed to getting more power.

Doubling taxes on America’s wealthiest 1% for just one year would raise enough to fund SNAP for 17 years. Or fund Head Start preschool + childcare for roughly 140 years at current funding levels. Or repair every road in the country twice over. And the rich would still be rich.

This is some seriously demented bullshit. www.dailykos.com/stories/2026... Via @dailykos.com

Do I know any people #onhere who are pros at bedazzling and live in NYC? I am seeking someone for our June 13 Library Art and Propaganda Fair who can facilitate a "bedazzle the cover of your book" session. I stole this idea from @tutusntinyhats.bsky.social who attending such a workshop in Boston.

Per my calculation, I have to sell about 1100 shirts to fund our insect mural series. Which sounds nuts, ok? I know. That sounds nuts. However... We already sold 132 so... I dunno, maybe we CAN make good things happen with silliness joy and art? I kinda think we can.

Here's the full text of HR 7661 (it's very short) which threatens to cut federal funding to any public school in the US which offers programing or books which mention "gender dysphoria or transgenderism" www.congress.gov/bill/119th-c...

I sorta apologize in advance for the number of times you're gonna see that shrimp shirt between now and June 5th, but also it's gonna fund our fall mural series if this all goes well, so I'm not THAT sorry.

Trans people are not “fighting for unpopular positions that society isn’t ready for.” Trans people are fighting to KEEP the rights we have enjoyed for decades. We have been able to legally change our gender markers since the 70s and before. Same with bathrooms, sports, youth, all for decades.
