Never forget them 🪶🪶🪶🪶

🚨 BREAKING: 11 young people were arrested after Schumer locked the doors on us—we showed him how to fight, but he couldn’t even face us. His cowardly deal gives Musk the keys to our government while working people suffer. If he won’t fight for us, he’s unfit to lead. Step up or step aside.

We need more leaders willing to engage with the people, not coward in fear behind closed doors. It’s laughable that some politicians think avoiding their voters is a winning strategy. Americans deserve better.

Judge orders Elon Musk and Doge to produce records about cost-cutting operations

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell. This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

Happy book birthday to THE GIFT OF THE GREAT BUFFALO, written by @carolelindstrom.bsky.social and illustrated by Aly McKnight! 🎉 carolelindstrom.com/books/the-gi...

Hi, hello. In order to grasp the significance of Trump crowning himself a King, you have to understand that he is literally carrying out a plan crafted by Curtis Yarvin, a right wing extremist, to overthrow democracy and replace it with dictatorial rule by a monarch-CEO.

At the request of the Trump Admin, the Ntl Park Service removed references to trans people in this essay w/o consulting the writer, historian @wendylrouse.bsky.social. Read it here as Prof Rouse intended (and as the NPS published/maintained it until now). 🗃️ drive.google.com/file/d/1p-rQ...

We have lots of stories from history to remind us what happens when a disease like measles tears through an unvaccinated/under-vaccinated population. None of them have happy endings. www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...

Elon Musk’s 20-year-old staffers are not only demanding access to highly restricted information but are also displaying aggressive behavior—shouting at anyone who stands in their way, resorting to name-calling, throwing tantrums, and even hitting objects in anger.

OMFG! 🔥🔥🔥🔥Rep. Jasmine Crockett: "We are going to be in your faces, we're gonna be on your ass, we're going to make sure you understand that this is what democracy looks like!"

If you think it’s alarming or authoritarian for a U.S. President to propose taking over lands that belong to other peoples how do you think our country came to exist?

Elon has 23 staffers. Once the dust settles, you’ll never find a job again. America will remember. Someone will take the fall—and we know exactly who to hold accountable. Stop the games. Quit hiding your names—it really doesn’t work.

I see we're going to require a lot more honesty about the USA's habitual and continued violent white supremacist land theft. It's not hard to find empathy for Palestinians when the state does the same shit here.

GOOD MORNING BLACKSKY!!! Trayvon Martin should be 30 years old today. 2/5/1995-2/26/2012 ✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾

Murphy: "We need to act like a real opposition party in the middle of a constitutional and democracy crisis. That means we should not be moving forward nominees or legislation in the Senate. Ds should not be giving votes to nominee or legislation in the Senate until Rs get serious about this crisis"

Maybe if we tell them there’s a student encampment inside the White House democrats will spring to action.

Would love to see the cishet white men of kidlit get vocal in the fight against book bans. Literally ALL the rest of us are being silenced. You're the only ones who truly have a chance of being listened to here. Staying silent is a political choice, too ✌🏽

EMERGENCY PIECE: Elon Musk Wants to Get Operational Control of the Treasury’s Payment System. This Could Not Possibly Be More Dangerous. Worse, exclusive new information revealed here explicate how Musk’s actions relate to Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent (Link at the end)

- SGEs are limited to providing services for up to 130 days in a 365-day period. - SGEs are prohibited from acting as an agent or attorney before the government. - SGEs must not participate in matters affecting their personal financial interests.

Reminder to Elon: - SGEs are subject to the same ethics standards as other federal employees. - SGEs must comply with conflict of interest laws. - SGEs must file a Confidential Financial Disclosure Report.

Without public knowledge, Elon Musk is serving as a “special government employee” under President Donald Trump, with access to sensitive information (including your SSN) and broad authority granted by Trump.

It feels awkward posting about our book coming out. But kiddos need us. Some adults need us. We must keep creating and showing up. 🩵🩵 I am thrilled to tell you about our book launch for THE GIFT OF THE GREAT BUFFALO! If you are anywhere nearby, we would love to see you! Aapiji go Miigwech. 🦬🤎🦬🪶🦬🤎🦬

The Trump administration has placed two top security chiefs at the U.S. Agency for International Development on leave after they resisted turning over classified material in restricted areas to Elon Musk’s staffers. America, please stand with us—we are fighting to defend this country!

"Every American should want to live in a strong community with a strong library," says ALA President Cindy Hohl. Libraries provide access to books, the internet, and literacy—serving as a vital safety net and welcoming space for all.
