Between June 10 and June 16, there were FOUR bomb threats sent to public libraries across the US. That this doesn't make wider news–the ongoing targeting of public libraries with bomb threats–is mind-boggling. buttondown.com/wellsourced/...

With so much attention focused on the threats to IMLS and libraries in the federal budget, we can’t lose sight of what is happening at the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA). action.everylibrary.org/nara2025 via @everylibrary.bsky.social‬ #library #libraries

Dereliction of duty.

The Trump administration fired one of the most respected, celebrated, and qualified librarians in America. The real reasons she was fired are genuinely terrifying. action.everylibrary.org/haydenaicong... Follow @everylibrary.bsky.social for more!

100 DAYS...of lying, grifting, lawbreaking, division, incompetence, ignorance, illegal deportations, self-aggrandizement, vulgarity, self-pity, cruelty, ignoring the Supreme Court & due process while attacking: the Media, Universities, Law Firms, the Courts & Journalists. 1362 Days to go...

Is it spam or is it just Pete Hegseth texting you classified information?

My God but the grift runs deep…

Get yourself a senator willing to rescue you in a foreign country after your messy president wrongfully deports you… …seems like a sentence I shouldn’t have to write in 2025 but here we are. Senator Chris Van Hollen leaves for El Salvador tomorrow to initiate the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia.

AOC: I saw on Fox, Jeanine Pirro says that they found so many babies and two year olds and four year olds receiving social security. I got a notice for you Jeanine Pirro: those babies receive social security because their parents died. That’s not a waste. That’s humanity. That’s America.

Moskowitz: He tariffed the penguins. He tariffed Vietnam. Madagascar. I don’t know what the plan is. Is the plan to get people who live in Vietnam to move to Greenland to make the shirts there? Nobody really knows.

Over 5 MILLION people showed up to make their voices heard yesterday. In over a thousand locations both here and abroad. Their messages were clear. The rampant destruction of Elon Musk and Donald Trump must end. We reject the oligarchy. Democracy is worth fighting for. America is worth saving.

100%. Good luck with this! History will not be kind. Neither will the future.
