I did it! I called my senators today. I'd needed a serious mental health break from politics, but no more. It's time to start screaming again, even if (like me) you're pretty sure your legislators agree with you. Please make your voice heard.

Trump put a freeze on hiring air traffic controllers and, on Musk’s instruction, fired the FAA chief early without replacing him. This should be the only thing Dems are saying today. They should all be out on media saying this.

Stop fucking saying he blamed “DEI,” which is some abstract, non-tangible idea. He is blaming people of color having jobs he thinks they aren’t qualified for. He’s blaming race. He’s being racist every time he says it. Journalists need to get fucking backbones, my word.

feels like at this point the entire Trump administration could carve swastikas into their foreheads and the media would be all 'let's not rush to judgement'

Spent yesterday trying not to throw up every time I heard inauguration news. Today, it's time to steel my nerves and figure out how to fight.

Well, America, we had a good run. I mean, mostly. Okay, not entirely. *flips through a history book* You know what, forget I said anything.

A New Year's tradition: watching the Philly Mummers Day parade, with all the spectacle, music and occasional cringe. #mummers2025

A good sentiment and yes, get that card. But also, use the card. Walking through the door of your local library and utilizing the available services (books and beyond) counts more than having the card. I used to work for the library — those numbers matter.

A loose dog sprinted into the library yesterday during a children's program. Even after all my time in libraries, this was a new one.

the frenzy over the hunter biden pardon is a good reminder that the press knows how to make something a scandal and has decided that nothing trump does is truly deserving of that treatment

Trump announced this evening that Mexico has agreed to close the border. Mexico responded by announcing that it has no plans to close the border. Trump’s “foreign policy” consists of dementia.
