June is audiobook month, and @libro.fm is celebrating with recommended #Pride picks, a special signup offer, and more. Best of all, sales benefit indie bookstores. ❤️

once again I must tap my own sign

Don't BE DISTRACTED they scream at regular people. DISTRACTED FROM WHAT, SENATOR? What's the CONCRETE PLAN THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY HAS OFFERED TO STOP PEOPLE FROM LOSING THEIR HEALTHCARE?

must be incredibly frustrating and disheartening to have federal funding that was promised to you for important work suddenly and arbitrarily ripped away

Audiobook Month and Pride both take place in June 💕🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ (Although, let’s be real, these months last all year long over here at Libro!) What are your favorite audiobooks by LGBTQIA+ authors for folks to read this month and beyond?

Starting to think that bombarding people with content designed to make them ill-informed, angry, and antisocial for hours upon hours a day has been a real disaster for society and possibly not one we can come back from in our lifetimes

dipshits in 2019: you people are NPCs, you don't even think for yourselves dipshits in 2025: I have outsourced my thinking to Clippy

This white genocide debacle highlights another reason to be extremely cautious of AI that I don't see people talking about much--if you're getting your information from AI, your knowledge will be selectively curated by the people who control the AI

Imagine being lectured by RFK Jr about how to be healthy and then having Mark Zuckerberg tell you how many friends normal people should have

Walz: If you say you love freedom but you don't believe freedom is for everybody, then the thing you love is not freedom, it is privilege.

There is more evidence behind the claim "JD Vance killed the pope" than there is behind the claim that any of the people renditioned to the slave camp in El Salvador are gang members.

A new study models the impact of the implosion of U.S.-funded disease treatment and prevention in the developing world — and suggests that Elon Musk and Marco Rubio will go down as among history’s greatest monsters if funding and effective administration are not restored.

There's a way to audit a government agency that actually works. What DOGE is doing is... not that.

Just read the full Atlantic article about the Houthi group chat. One part that stuck with me is when they say “God Bless” and send prayer emojis to each other after killing 53 people who they considered enemies because they killed others in the name of their God.

One of the brilliant things our current iteration of oligarchs did is get people to conceive of free speech as being able to call your coworkers slurs rather than using it to say stuff like why are my tax dollars subsidizing your billionaire ass

According to too many, there is white and then there is political there is male and then there is political there is capitalism and then there is political there is straight and then there is political there is cis and then there is political there is non-disabled and then there is political

‘You Can’t Let This Happen,’ Says Fundraising Email From Sitting U.S. Congressperson

Please stop with the generative AI. It's garbage, theft, making us less capable. Image by www.nobodyssweetheart.com

every inch of progress in the US is like this. BLM, defund the police, trans rights, etc — all marginal, sometimes nonexistent gains followed by massive rightward pendulum swings born of the (false) assertion that by gently prodding an issue, we’ve gone “too far”

You can, and should, be a pain in the ass when you’re in the minority if it means saving people’s lives. Remember, McConnell, before literally any legislative priorities were introduced by Obama, vowed to make him a one term president because he lost his mind a black man won 1/

i am going to put a finer point on this: executive orders are not laws. and they certainly are not royal decrees. they are interpretations of existing law for the purposes of enforcement. the fact that so many people are treating them as laws is actually driving me a bit insane.

There is going to come a time in the very near future where the only way to resolve this is for every non-MAGA media company to band together and simply refuse to walk into the presser or attend the event. Because he wants the coverage more than anything else. Divided you fall.

Every member of Congress letting a security guard stop them needs to be interviewed about John Lewis.

Trump already empowering the worst bosses to just.. ignore labor law. Whole Foods workers won their union vote, and now Whole Foods (owned by Jeff Bezos) is saying they simply won't recognize the vote because nobody is going to make them.

Not to sound alarmist, but *alarm sounds*

I know pointing out hypocrisy doesn’t matter anymore, but if there’s one person I wouldn’t want to be the judge of who goes into locker rooms, it would be the man who openly boasted about walking into dressing rooms of underage girls

Wish I knew somebody who was in one of the two halls of Congress right now.
