Anne's great piece should be read in full and is available here: www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

Now, why wouldn't they want people to get help at their public library to get a passport? It's a mystery...🫠🫠🫠

I'm attending Honesty for Ohio Education's event, “Back to School With HB 8” - sign up now to join me! www.mobilize.us/honestyforoh...

Happy 4th of July, everyone! While we navigate the brink of death of this country, don't forget to support your local library!

Be proud, boys.

This is the way to stand up to these bullies! Respect ✊

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.

If you have to reject your own studies when they don’t fit your agenda, it’s time to reconsider your agenda.

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. bit.ly/4cXcPFj via @everylibrary.bsky.social

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.

I've shared this video far and wide. Best explainer out there, folks. Watch this and share. www.youtube.com/watch?v=7aDb...

Market manipulation is normal when you vote for an orange criminal rather than the sane and qualified lady. 🤷 #Tariffs

All. Of. This.

🚨Economists and researchers say the cost to Americans will be significant, with estimates ranging from nearly $4,000 to almost $8,000 per household. 🚨 www.yahoo.com/news/trumps-... #MomSky #MamásConPoder

"The First Amendment applies to people who are physically in the United States, regardless of their alienage, regardless of what country they were born in, regardless of the color of their skin, regardless of their immigration status." - Eric Lee

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.

Kids are dying of measles and the stock market is crashing and everything is about to become way more expensive but at least they're also massively violating basic civil liberties

April 5, 2025. Anti-Trump protest in Columbus, Ohio. Rainy, crummy weather. This is fantastic!

Thousands came out for a rainy Hands Off protest in Columbus, Ohio!

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.

Legitimate Question: With *everything* happening, at all hours of the day, every single day, how are you functioning? I'm struggling.

As Trump and Republicans' actively work to tear down the rights of transgender Americans, let's send a clear message this Transgender Day of Visibility: No matter who you are, you are seen, you are valued and you belong— In our schools. In our military. Everywhere.

Yep

Just a reminder: having a functional moral compass right now is going to make you feel bad all the time; don’t mistakenly hate yourself for that.

Pin this, save it, we’ll need it. “When a prison camp opens in your town…when a DREAMer is disappeared from your classroom…when the President destroys what’s left of the Constitution…They will all say they didn’t know this was coming. And I want the American people to know that they did.” AOC 🔥🎯

Sure is a bad time to be a person who cares about things.
