Daily reminder to get physical copies of banned books while you still can

The Democratic Party is failing now. We cannot allow this to continue. Everyone reading this understands there must be change, and that requires action. www.commondreams.org/opinion/join...

If you're worried about passing a polygraph, this can help you understand and prepare for it. #godspeed

Since I’ve been getting this a lot - if you feel like supporting me by buying a jersey or something, I would rather you make a donation to Trans Lifeline or The Trevor Project www.thetrevorproject.org

Professor Eddie S. Glaude: “The irony, he holds a Black History Month Reception as he’s issued all these executive orders around DEI. Touts the importance of Black folk to the history of the country mentioning Tiger Woods, Kobe guess that’s what we’re reduced to, athletics entertainment I suppose.”

Become an Anarchist or Forever Hold Your Peace crimethinc.com/becomeananar... Neither courts nor laws will suffice to halt the descent into autocracy. Massive numbers of people will have to take direct action on their own initiative, on a decentralized basis—in other words, to become anarchists. 🏴

Are you are park ranger or park official who was fired in the DOGE purge? We want to talk to you. Reach out to us here:

The Pentagon is now pausing their mass firing of civilian employees in order to evaluate potential impacts on military readiness. I’m just spitballing here, but maybe a readiness assessment should have been the first step. 🤦‍♂️

Just look at these paragraphs from the AP story. Hegseth called Brown unqualified solely because he's Black. Then they fired him... and replaced him with a white guy so indisputably unqualified that he requires a Presidential waiver. This is what "merit" means to them. apnews.com/article/trum...

🎉 This is the best news in a month!! Hold the line, America.

More of this

Chicago Pride Pharmacy is a critical access point for patients with HIV in Lombard, but they're getting hit hard by pharmacy benefit managers. Unfairly high prices from PBMs have put a strain on them and their customers. It's past time we reform their unfair practices.

We are in this together.

I can think of more effective methods of sending hate down range.

The crisis is urgent. We know that we can do little, but we must resolve to do all. If we are afraid, we must pray not to be afraid, to be fools for Christ. Love includes justice. Dorothy Day

it is shocking the extent to which they openly sneer at morality

Rep Raskin has been great. Rep Ocasio-Cortez has been great. And Rep Frost and Rep Crockett. Senator Murphy. Maybe no one knew exactly what to do. But such people laid down a clear marker. Let’s respect these and other elected federal representatives who stood out these first few weeks.

Side note. There are eight members of the joint chiefs. the chair is black. the CNO (navy) is a woman. the other six are white guys. chair and the cno got fired tonight.

Worst. Episode. EVER.

Probably no US President was spied on more by Soviet intelligence than Reagan. If what we're learning is true, then with some reading between the lines, the KGB was grooming Trump as a "village idiot" to help them spy on Reagan. No wonder his codename (Krasnov) is a surname that means "beautiful".

“Trump was the perfect target in a lot of ways: his vanity, narcissism made him a natural target to recruit. He was cultivated over a 40-year period, right up through his election.”

Please RSVP for and invite friends to the week-long Amazon boycott coming up (if you still have facebook): www.facebook.com/events/13171... As physicians, we have a LOT of buying power. And the more people we get on board, the more impact we have. #CancelAmazon #BoycottAmazon #MedSky #AcademicSky

If "they" reactivate a retired LTG (3-Star) and make him CJCS, even though his record doesn't meet the service requirements to hold the position. They're going to be stepping on a LOT of toes. Trump will guarantee himself a military hostile to him. This could actually work out.

So they removed the black chairman of the Joint Chiefs in the middle of his 4-year tour, without cause, and they're seeking to replace him with a white **retired** Air Force three-star general who lacks the requisite experience as a service chief or combatant commander? Huh, how about that

Did you hear about the Italian chef? He pasta away. Get it? I'll be here all week. Don't forget to tip your waitress.

Trump just made a civilian the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. The Chairman is legally required to be an active-duty military officer. Trump is scared of our officers, knowing full well they will absolutely deny an illegal order!
