Courtney. Jenna. Marina. Anouska. Haley. They were young girls when Jeffrey Epstein abused them. And they deserve justice. Women and girls deserve so much better. Release the files.

We want to speak directly to members of the Military and the Intelligence Community. The American people need you to stand up for our laws and our Constitution. Don’t give up the ship.

Leaders like Chris Jones don’t come around often. A scientist. A minister. A father. I can feel the heartbeat in this ad please share and support @jonesforar.bsky.social secure.actblue.com/donate/chris...

Hey MAGA. This is how you sound. Y'all motherfuckers don't EVER get to talk to us again about saving children, protecting children, or any kind of bullshit about pedos and who's in the files. Get the fuck out of my face with your simp shit. Fucking disgusting perverts.

FLASHBACK 👇🏽— Rep. @aftynbehn.bsky.social getting dragged out for protesting then-Speaker Casada’s support for Rep. Byrd, who apologized ON TAPE to 1 of 3 girls who say he sexually abused them as their 🏀 coach. (Casada was just pardoned by Trump for corruption)

Not a teacher nor a drag queen nor a librarian. It's a pastor who spent his time railing against the inclusion of HEARTSTOPPER in a public school library. Accusations are confessions. This is *deeply* disturbing. www.cincinnati.com/story/news/l...

Chicago No Kings

So no terrorism then?

#NoKings on the Sagadahoc Bridge in Bath, Maine!

I don't have something I can link y'all to yet, but I have some very credible and important information I need to share. The American Library Association laid off what I've heard is 15 people this week. Among them was the director of the Office for Intellectual Freedom. ALA has no OIF anymore.

Love being in a Graphic Medicine webinar and the work that @noethematt.bsky.social does gets referenced so many times as the go-to source. Rock Star Librarian level unlocked.

I noticed this last time I saw this Capital One ad. Why does the amount he is paying have to be 45.47? Could have been any number but it happens to be both of the shitturds presidencies?

If you voted for him, you've done this.

The crackdown on immigrant workers at a Wisconsin cheese factory triggered a backlash, writes @rconniff.bsky.social in a commentary, and an outpouring of solidarity — which she sees as a hopeful sign. wisconsinexaminer.com/2025/08/29/c...

Found this absolute gem. Word of the Day! (alt text has account name)

Marjorie Taylor Greene doesn't want you to know the name of her opponent but will try every desperate attempt to save her seat. My name is Shawn Harris. I am a Democrat, husband, father, Retired Brigadier General, farmer, and I'm running against MTG. Can you spread the word?

Experienced this when I was applying actively. It's soul crushing to sit waiting with no answer. Everything in this thread is 💯.

Trump Administration Orders Termination of National LGBTQ+ Youth Suicide Lifeline, Effective July 17th

If you're coming here for "what do we do about this" related to anything book censorship or library attacks or library funding, a reminder that I have MORE THAN FOUR YEARS' WORTH OF READING ON THAT in my pinned post.

BORDER PATROL: “Are you an 🇺🇸 citizen?” 🔥 NATIVE AMERICAN WOMAN: “FIRST ONES. We didn’t cross the border, the border crossed us… what are you? You’re not first born. You’re not from this f*ckin’ land. Punk-as* b*tches.”

Earlier, I made a post about the effects of federal cuts to NOAA/NWS & took a lot of heat for it. Out of an abundance of caution, I deleted the post. And yet here we are - watching this meteorologist confirming what I said:

Terrifying news.

José Andrés is a culinary and human hero. I grew up in a family that believed feeding people is one of the most important things we can do for each other. Always keep an extra chair at the table for those who might need it.
