"But I'm a citizen," you say. "This doesn't apply to me." It's a pretty short step from deporting lawful residents without due process to "show me your papers, you don't LOOK like a real American to ME" on the street.

Library lovers, we need your help. A recent executive order calls for the elimination of IMLS, the only federal agency that funds libraries nationwide. Without IMLS, many of the resources and programs we love could be at risk. 📚 Learn what you can do to help: ilovelibraries.org/article/trum...

I get that everyone is riled up, and that's a good thing, but maybe instead of saying, 'More people should be doing this' and 'You should be doing that,' try saying, 'I am doing [this specific action], and please join me!' Be active!

Imagine your life gets expensive as hell, inflation or disaster or medical crisis etc. Suddenly it costs $1,000 a day to not die. 28% of Americans have less than that in savings. They'd die in 1 day. A millionaire could last 2.73 years. A billionaire could survive that for 2,730 years.

Looney Tunes is older than 99% of the people working in this industry. At some point, with the write offs giving such massive tax breaks, we need to start having serious conversation about collective public ownership of legacy media to protect our art history.

This should terrify every person in this country. The use of machine learning systems to approximate an individuals views on war and then, if they are here lawfully on a visa, tag them for deportation is about as sci-fi dystopian as it gets. www.axios.com/2025/03/06/s...

CALLS ARE WORKING - it has bought us precious time, but we NEED to keep the pressure up. Tomorrow is the cloture vote. KEEP CALLING: (202) 224-3121 ☎️☎️☎️ Tell your Dem Senator to vote NO on Cloture and NO on the Republican spending bill. Do NOT assume your Senator will be good on this. Trust me.

I love to call my Senators' offices three times per week and try to cajole them into doing the most elementary political messaging and strategy. This is what it means to be an engaged citizen: leaving a strenuously polite voicemail for a 74yo on a more regular cadence than I talk to my parents.
