What's happening to libraries in Florida should frighten everyone. Spurred on by Moms For Liberty, the AG is threatening librarians with felonies for stocking LGBTQ+ books and overruling established processes for removing "harmful" material. It's a full on censorship campaign by the government.

In Huntington Beach, advocates for public libraries championed two ballot measures to counter policies by the conservative city council. The measures both passed Tuesday—one ends a book review board, the other bars the privatization of local libraries. www.sfgate.com/polit...

Meet Ms. Opal Lee, the “Grandmother of Juneteenth.” Due to her tireless work, President Biden declared June 19th a federally recognized holiday in 2021. “Juneteenth is not a Texas thing. It's not a black thing. We are talking about freedom for everyone.” She is a national treasure. #Juneteenth

Juneteenth calls us to understand the realities of our past, celebrate the resilience and achievements of Black Americans, and align the course of our country toward its founding creed of liberty and justice for all. Wishing everyone a meaningful Juneteenth!

I still can't get past the idea that people in America are now supposed to accept that this is a valid form of law enforcement and just assume it's fine when random dudes in groups with face-coverings, no ID, no warrant, & no uniform grab people off the street and force them into unmarked vehicles

Not on Medicaid? Here’s how the GOP's budget cuts would still affect you: From hospitals and ERs to nursing homes and family caregivers to public health programs and industry jobs, as Robert I. Field writes, the "ripple effects of shrinking Medicaid would be felt by everyone sooner or later."
