Three things made the US a rich and powerful nation: the rule of law, its science & innovation system, and openness to foreign talent. Remarkable how Trump has taken a sledgehammer to all three. No enemy of this country could do more.

This is the future of book recommendations when libraries are defunded and dismantled. Trained professionals are removed in exchange for this made up, inaccurate garbage. Are you fighting yet?

I submitted my comment opposing the restriction of Covid vaccines. Took me literally two minutes - I just said "Covid vaccines have saved countless lives. Limiting access to them will do the opposite." Please leave a comment if you can.

New Hampshire!! Time to call Governor Ayotte to demand she veto the deeply unpopular book banning HB324. Remind her that only 39 people have spoken in favor of it, while more than 1300 opposed it. The phone number is 603-271-2121. www.wmur.com/article/nh-s...

BREAKING: The Supreme Court ruled courts must assess the full context of a police encounter when determining what constitutes excessive force — not just the moments right before the lethal force. Over 1,300 people were killed by police last year. This ruling will help hold the police accountable.
