_Martin Marten_ by the late Brian Doyle is a lovely, lovely book. Probably different from anything else you've read. Check it out.

The website for the Smithsonian National Museum of African America History and Culture is no longer online. If you go to the Smithsonian's main page, not a single link that would take you to NMAAHC is working--blank pages all the way. 😟

If there's a child in your life, please buy them a copy of _When Marian Sang_.

See link to full text of an Audre Lorde speech that should be frequently re-read. "[Speaking up] is never without fear . . . if I were to have been born mute . . .I would still have suffered, and I would still die. It is very good for establishing perspective." electricliterature.com/wp-content/u...

Fun fact: the White House comment line is now open only T-Th, 11:00 - 3:00 EST. And the online link to send an email no longer exists. A search will tell you to go to whitehouse.gov/contact, but that page has been scrubbed. In other words, this administration has no interest in hearing from you.

Feeling a little smug, as a quick foray onto X got me blocked and told to f*ck off. Came from the user who falsely I.D.'d helicopter pilot as trans woman. I'll take that. :-)

Do we really want a liar and conspiracy theorist as our next head of HHS? Great 30-minute video. Please repost far and wide.

Senator Wyden posted this on BlueSky, but it didn't have a button to re-post. So here is it. www.wyden.senate.gov/whistleblowe...

It would be terrible if people spammed [email protected], the site where federal employees are supposed to snitch on each other. Terrible. It could overwhelm the whole narc-out-your-friends system. Don't do it.

This one never gets old.

KNOW YOUR RIGHTS www.aclu.org/know-your-ri...

SHARE WIDELY. KNOW YOUR RIGHTS. With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights. You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one. (1/3)
