PSA: If you think a guy standing on a vandalized Waymo car with a Mexican flag is a bigger issue than the president calling for the arrest of a governor for no reason, you may have lost the plot.

To anyone who wondered, what could go wrong if we elected as president a highly volatile, deeply dishonest, simple-minded cretin with a revenge fetish, the answer is THIS. All of THIS.

Thank god these white refugees have somewhere safe and welcoming to flee to. We're so lucky to have a president who cares so deeply about the world's refugees. For fucks sake, this shit is nauseating. I have no words how much this absolutely infuriates me.

On May 2, 2025, the Trump Administration released its FY2026 federal budget proposal. On page 39 he calls for the complete elimination of the only federal agency dedicated solely to supporting America’s libraries and museums.

Trump: “Maybe kids will have two dolls instead of 30" as a result of the tariffs. Bernie: “Billionaires like Musk and Trump do not have a clue about what it means for a working class family trying to buy presents for the kids or to take care of basic necessities.”

You can’t have democracy without libraries. Democracy is a practice. It starts at the local level by building connection and community. So today on international book day check out what’s going on at your local branch! Reading, learning, listening, chatting, connecting—this is democracy.

'Citizenship won't save you': Free speech advocates say student arrests should worry all
The Trump administration has targeted students — both those with visas and those with permanent legal status — who protested the war in Gaza. Free speech advocates warn that these are test cases.

Reminder: We are not at war with Venezuela. The people deported are not enemies. The law in question should not apply. Among the most dangerous aspects of the SCOTUS ruling is the idea that the president and his people have the right to arbitrarily determine who our enemies are.

Harmful non-strategic tariffs. Reckless use of group chats and personal Gmail accounts. Incorrect deportations blamed on “administrative error.” Mass firings of health and safety personnel. Cuts to Medicare and SNAP. Soaring prices. The American people did not sign up for this.

Goodreads is owned by Jeff Bezos. A better alternative is StoryGraph, a Black woman-owned platform. And before y’all start, you can transfer all your Goodreads data to Storygraph so you literally have no excuse.
