Another egg deal goes down

I've seen an old misunderstanding going around; that libraries don't benefit authors. But they do! A lot! Here's how:

"Hochul is dithering about whether to use her powers. AOC, in contrast, exercised her 1st Amendment rights to inform her constituents about their 4th Amendment rights. In doing so, she showed that the administration is tyrannical. She also showed that it’s weak — if you’re willing to confront it."

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

Sad that most are

Hilarious video by Gov. Pritzker! It’s on his website! Didn’t know how much I needed a laugh until I watched it!🤣👇

"As we navigate the sheer quantity of hate and unconstitutional extremism found within these orders, it’s essential we not let this blitzkrieg distract or deter us." - Keith Thirion

The US State Department has ordered embassies around the world to cancel subscriptions to news outlets that they don't like. Free speech for me, but not for thee?

A judicial disciplinary agency reprimanded a former Northern California judge Wednesday for telling an accused domestic abuser that his accuser was “manipulating” him and that he had “played into her trap.” Read in San Francisco Chronicle: apple.news/ALnsyFGAXTr2...

This is an excellent template and should be disseminated widely

Everyone needs to see this. Be ready to deny access, even if you don't know any immigrants. Let them waste time and you might save a family somewhere else. #Disobey #blue #fotus #FBR #immigrants #TruthWarriors #theresistance #resist #FBPE #FuckICE #SaveOurDemocracy #sanctuary #organize #fucktrump

I will use every tool at my disposal to protect this country from Trump. I will litigate to defend voting rights until there are no cases left to bring. I will speak out against authoritarianism until my last breath. I will not back down. I will not bow or scrape. I will never obey.

Brilliant.

Horrifying.

🚨NEW: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is planning to fire Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff C.Q. Brown, a 4-Star General and 41-year veteran of the Air Force who flew over 130 hours in combat as a fighter pilot. REPOST if you stand with General C.Q. Brown against Hegseth!

💯

This would be completely illegal. But you wouldn’t know that from reading this post, the headline, or the lede. Unbelievably bad.
