Indiana 7 progressive congressman Andre Carson is being primaried by George Hornedo. Carson won his district by 40 points. So why target a guaranteed win? Oh, Carson supports Palestine? Don’t parade Hornedo around like he’s the next AOC when he’s just another AIPAC shill.

NEW: ALA is going to court to stop the President’s attempts to illegally dismantle the Institute of Museum & Library Services. The President does not have the authority to destroy a federal agency. That's why we're taking action with our co-plaintiff @afscme.bsky.social. #ForOurLibraries (1/3)

Imagine what we can all accomplish if we just wait for an official report of prices. Could this announcement be because of public outcry? Sure. Though, this could have always been the prices that were originally planned. Having Online getting you the upgrades for free is pretty neat tbh.

I feel like I'm owed an apology from MAGA taint-lickers. An unfortunate vindication. For better or for worse, my neuro-queer brain has created a special interest as it relates to national policy and global affairs. I'm also a librarian, so I know a thing or two about how to conduct research.

When you look at the list of institutions they want to defund: libraries, museums, the Smithsonian, public schools, PBS, NPR, archives, you can clearly see that the real threat to an authoritarian regime is an informed and educated public

Museums and libraries are the main places where members of the public engage in lifelong learning outside of any formal school. Call your legislators. Tell them to protect library funding. bit.ly/CallCongressForLibraries www.nytimes.com/2025/03/24/a...

This is amazing. Good for Game Informer. We are seeing this all too much with smaller companies or brands selling to bigger umbrella companies which ultimately kills them. Support the shit you love, grassroots forever.

Tonight an unbelievable 34,000 people gathered for our Denver rally to take on billionaires and win our country back. This was the largest political gathering in Denver since Obama in 2008. Also bigger than the 2024 DNC. And the largest ever rally in Bernie’s career (and obviously, mine too).

We expected 2,000 people out in GOP-held Greeley, Colorado. 11,000 people showed up. Something special is happening, folks. Now is the time to organize in every dimension possible and get to work.

This is extremely important. Libraries are more than just places with books. They are community centers that connect many people together, and that's exactly why Trump and his goon patrol is attempting destroy it. We are weak when we can't come together.

I just finished my MLIS in December. Good times to not only be in debt with student loans, but if we don't fight back against this nonsense, I, and many other librarians, won't even be able to justify our debt with meaningful public service to our communities. #libraries #mlis #librarian

Listen, we can critique @aoc.bsky.social’s mistakes any day of the week (most recently, being one of the names on the release letter for Mahmoud Khalil), but let’s not drag her to stockade as if she isn’t talking about it. We need to discern who we have in our corner.
