Libraries continue to serve those who have served

Draw Attention to What They're Doing - A very special guest joined me in the kitchen tonight!! Here's the entire interview with @warren.senate.gov youtu.be/MR6i3y5D2bE

This is correct.

New video: scholar Mac Loftin chats with our community engagement editor @jonmathieu.bsky.social about the theology of William Stringfellow. In his view, demons are not supernatural monsters; they are institutions and abstractions that entrap people (especially leaders) in cycles of death.

We have been careful to avoid using the word coup, but it’s time to call it what it is—this is a coup. Trump signed an executive order granting only the attorney general or the president the authority to interpret laws executed by the executive branch.

Republicans are racing forward with a budget that will raise costs for working families. People will pay more for food, health care, education, and child care – while Republicans plot more tax cuts for billionaires.

It’s a coup.

No Federal government = NO Federal taxes??? Am I doing the math correctly???

🚨Elon Musk’s DOGE operatives are attempting to access confidential tax information — tax returns, bank data, Social Security numbers — for millions of Americans. Illegal access can lead to jail time under federal law. @wyden.senate.gov and I are investigating and fighting back.

People on X are calling for AOC's arrest for posting this.... so I am posting it everywhere!

One of our supporters shared this with us—people are getting creative tonight!

We are calling for a nationwide and international boycott of all Elon Musk-related products and services. Sell your Tesla shares, avoid buying Tesla vehicles, cancel Starlink, and delete your X accounts.

I want to thank Senator @edmarkey.bsky.social for this post - it's the first thing that's made me feel hopeful since the election. Save this image to your phones. Whenever you feel like things are hopeless and we can't win, look at that image. It made me want to fight again!

I am very happy that Marc Fogel was released from Russia BUT what will it cost him in a promise from DJT to Putin?

Kendrick Lamar showed more courage in the face of rising American tyranny than we’ve seen from ANY former American leader. If you swore an oath to protect this nation, where are you now? youtube.com/shorts/keNw6...

Elon Musk is trying to shut down the CFPB, the agency that has forced big banks and corporations to return more than $21 BILLION to families they cheated.

People of faith suing the Trump administration for violating their religious freedom. Including UCC, PCUSA, TEC, UMC conferences...the list is long... Read the complaint. Lawyers are heroes. www.law.georgetown.edu/icap/wp-cont...

Remember: MAGA wants your tears. They laugh at them. Your tears -- and your fears -- sustain them. Musk and Trump feed on your grief and outrage. Cry privately. Feel your fear and get on with it. The only way out is through. And the only way through is together.

If government employees are going to be banned from talking about DEI, I guess the rest of us should talk about the ways that equitable and inclusive communities of diversity are diversifying in the name of inclusive equity and equitable inclusivity, diversely and equitably and inclusively.
