just so everyone knows, literally at the exact same time JD Vance started trolling on here the NSC was having a meeting on Iran he's angry that he got sidelined to the kiddy table and decided to lash out genuinely pathetic stuff

Yep - there’s a homicidal maniac presiding over public heath and he’s readying for a slaughter. His murder of 230,000 Americans and 83 Samoan children isn’t enough for his blood lust. www.huffpost.com/entry/cdc-va...

JD joining Bluesky just to write anti-trans posts while the admin prepares to bomb a major Middle Eastern power just tells us all he's not in the room where it happens.

BREAKING: The White House lashed out at the creators of this ad for "fear-mongering". It must have really struck a nerve. Maybe they don't like being outed as fascists. You know what to do: SPREAD THIS EVERYWHERE! #MAGAKidnappers

There’s a mountain of consistent research to the effect that when people join a new religious denomination, they may say it’s because they’re more doctrinally aligned, but they rarely actually know what the doctrines are.

The cruelty of this is, genuinely, staggering. This is a policy that saves virtually no money whatsoever whose success is measured in the number of children it kills.

SIXTY federal agents kitted out like they were taking on Osama Bin Laden to raid a swap meet. The ONLY people they ended up arresting were to people already going through immigration court proceedings, seemingly rearrested because ICE agents didn’t want to go home empty-handed.

Notably universities and most faculty will ignore the entire group of people already charged with teaching information literacy on their campuses. I bet you have at least one librarian who has a lesson plan ready to go.

A failure of journalism. Neither the push nor the NBC News article notes that THIS IS ILLEGAL. The law allows a one-time delay. That’s it! www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

What is common knowledge in your field, but shocks outsiders? White cotton gloves are not for use with paper-based books. We use them for some photographs and artifacts, but for handling “regular” rare books the professional standard has been clean, dry hands for decades.

This is exactly the right tone when privileged people suffer minor or temporary consequences standing up for powerless people. It’s still about the powerless people. ICE is Gestapo trash.

That’s a tough question. Resisting masked armed thugs in any circumstance can get you beaten or killed by the armed thugs. If the masked armed thugs are agents of the U.S. government it will also get you prosecuted for “assault on a federal officer” or “resisting arrest.” /1

'“I don't think that people appreciate how few people are working to keep these collections online, even at huge institutions,” Weinberg told me. “It's usually an incredibly small team, one person, half a person, half a person, plus, like their web person who is sympathetic to what's going on.'
