Librarians are some of the most detail-oriented, policy driven, and dare I say it neurotic people I know and I know lots of them. Books are chosen and recommended carefully. And yet politicians think they know better than librarians to the point to where they threaten them with imprisonment.

I saw a version of this on here before but it's worth yelling: these institutions that Musk is illegally dismantling– the weather service, health system, climate & energy research, international aid, maybe the US mail(?)– they don't belong to him, they belong to us. We invested in them. They're ours

If JK Rowling cares about people being safe she probably shouldn’t go online and make fun of asexual people and say they aren’t a real group just because they don’t “want a shag”

🚨Measles cases in the US surge 35% in ONE WEEK—now at 222 in 12 states. We’re nearing last year’s TOTAL of 285, and it’s only March. Two deaths already, both unvaccinated. Texas is the epicenter with 198 cases. The CDC’s weekly data lags, so the numbers are likely even higher.

TELL THE TRUTH. The Republicans’ proposed continuing resolution to avert a government shutdown has a bunch of poison pills. Example: It zeroes out the Toxic Exposures Fund to care for veterans exposed to burn pits, Agent Orange, and other toxic substances. Heartless MONSTERS who HATE our vets.

Someone I once knew, who was in the Army, back in ‘73 just wrote me that he watched the whole televised Zelenskyy vs 47 and 47.4 and thought 47 was excellent. I find no logic in his observation.

The thing about fascism is that a significant chunk of people who obey in advance do so not out of fear, but eagerness: they perceive in the fascist regime their chance to settle cultural scores, regardless of costs
