Donald Trump signed a bunch of executive orders rolling back abortion protections in the middle of the night, hoping that no one would notice. This is — and always has been — about controlling women’s bodies. I’m fighting back.

Ida Wells was born enslaved but refused to live in fear. She wielded the power of the press to expose America’s greatest terror—lynching. When the truth made her a target, she didn’t back down. She co-founded the NAACP, fought for Black women’s voting rights, and left a legacy of resistance!

Jasmine Crockett, after accusing colleagues of castrating their Constitutional duty, said, “My job is to make sure we don’t have any kings or queens in this country, but it seems like you all have decided it’s going to be Mr. King and his queen. And y’all can pick which one is which.”

The TikTok shutdown was voluntary. The Biden Administration took no action against TikTok and said they would leave it to the Trump Administration. This was TikTok working with Trump and a propaganda con. The stupids will fall for it. Hell they are already attacking Democrats.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but you don't need to justify your reading preferences and choices to anyone. Audiobooks count as reading. Also, you don't have to finish books you don't enjoy. Don't read to impress, read for yourself. Life's too short, love yourself, ok? Signed, a librarian
