Happy friday

I've seen lotsa things. Lotsa shit things, bad things. But this still kills me every time. I ain't religious, but I always cry with faith or something. My heart actually moves. www.youtube.com/watch?v=kbJc...

In the spring of 2008, I feared America was on the verge of war with Iran — and, believing that it’s good style to get to know people before you bomb them, I made “Rick Steves’ Iran,” a one-hour special that could (and would) only debut on PBS. Sadly, this special has become pertinent again today.

Every flashbang could instead be a meal for a poor kid. Every hotel room for a National Guardsman deployed to fire at our neighbors could house a homeless vet. Every "less-than-lethal" bullet pulled from a journalist's eye could be already needed healthcare for anyone else. All of this is a choice.

The most important story of our time is not what Donald Trump wants to do, but what the people of this country allow him to do.

COMMENTARY: Journalism that is critical of the government is powerful. That’s why authoritarians try to stifle it. This old tie from half a world away reminds me of that. www.youtube.com/watch?v=P0us...

1. Jose Hermosillo is US citizen who was wrongly jailed in an immigration detention facility for 10 days The administration says he "turned himself in" to the Border Patrol and told them he was a Mexican who crossed the border illegally. I interviewed Hermosillo. He says the government is lying.

"Bring me the pebbles. All of them. Now!!!"

EVERY HUMAN BEING OF ANY RACE IS ENTITLED TO DUE PROCESS OF THE LAW. A TRIAL. A JUDGE. A JURY. ATTORNEYS. Pass it on before we all lost the right because the abuse we allow of other people will come home to roost.

When you elect a bunch of people who hate and fear government to run your government, you get a government of hate and fear. This is true no matter how many times you're dumb enough to run the experiment.

Take the joy of this baby into the weekend 😂😎 #TurnUpVibes

here’s a curse word free version of “look it up” as requested by countless teachers and librarians 🥰😘

Under Fascism, the state makes sweeping changes (sold as an attack on waste, fraud, and abuse) in the name of efficiency…and “the trains will run on time!” Stream my hour-long special “Rick Steves’ The Story of Fascism in Europe” at www.ricksteves.com/fascism.

Thank you for everything, school librarians & library workers! At a loss for words thinking of how you somehow find a way to continue doing your unnecessarily stressful jobs. I have to think your library kids are a big part of why. Whatever the reason… thank you. We love you, we support you 💛

In a new executive order, Trump has targeted the federal agency charged with distributing congressionally approved funds to state libraries and to library, museum, and archives program grant recipients. www.everylibrary.org/statementiml...

To be honest, if you're an American and you're NOT angry about the current situation in America, I'm really not interested in your company, your opinion, or your vote.

"Do I have something in my teeth?" Photo taken in the Khutzeymateen Grizzly Bear Sanctuary, the first area in Canada to be protected specifically for Grizzly Bears and their habitat. It would be wonderful to see more areas like this protected. #wildlife #conservation

Democrats who want to move away from small dollar donors are actually Republicans and no, you cannot change my mind:

Libraries and librarians not only spark a love of learning; they are crucial to reversing low reading assessment scores across the country. www.americanprogress.org/article/inve...

The only reason to keep you from knowing what the government is doing by eliminating access to open records is because you're planning on keeping the public from knowing what the government is doing. www.poynter.org/reporting-ed...

The library raised me. It was warm, steady, safe. noraallen.substack.com/p/why-librar...

hey for anyone who might want to actually own their kindle books instead of renting them, or who might be thinking of switching to kobo etc and will want to convert them to epubs, you now only have one week before amazon kills your ability to download its ebooks www.theverge.com/news/612898/...
