Republican Senators checking out X today.

Huge fan of corgis. But would love it if you offered an audiobook loving miniature schnauzer app icon… Just sayin’

Libro.fm and 40+ organizations representing parents, grassroots organizers, authors, librarians, booksellers, and publishers have signed a statement on the firing of Dr. Carla Hayden.⁠ 📣 Share & act now 📧 bit.ly/EmailHayden

Bookish propaganda we’re not falling for (you can't fool us, sorry!): 🎧 “Listening on audio doesn't count as reading.” 📚 “Amazon is the best place to buy books.” 🎥 “The movie was better.” 🛍 “It's one or the other: libraries or indie bookshops.” ❌ “It's not book censorship.”

Quid pro Cuomo. "Many of the donations came after Mr. Cuomo made a rare appearance at the Real Estate Board of New York, where Politico reported that he expressed regret for signing rent reforms as governor that landlords bitterly opposed."

Few have fought the oligarchy and stood up for the working class quite like Shawn Fain and the men and women of UAW. Andrew Cuomo is for the billionaires. Our campaign is for you. Let's win this together.

June is #audiobook month!

This is Trooper. He was tied to a fence during a Florida hurricane and has since inspired "Trooper's Law," which protects pets during natural disasters. He now has a loving family of his own and a legacy of helping to prevent other dogs from facing the same abuse he experienced. 14/10

Worried? Who’s worried?

Over 11 M*A*S*H seasons, Loretta Swit turned Major Houlihan from a one-note movie character to one that was powerful and three-dimensional; watching her taught me a lot about writing. I got to tell her so a few years ago; she couldn't have been more charming. A terrible loss, but a tremendous life.

Happy for Taylor Swift! www.pbs.org/newshour/art...

At States Newsroom, we relentlessly report on how changes at the federal level are affecting people at the state level — and how state governments are responding in this volatile political climate. We post new stories each day; here are just a few.

Russian bot farms use paid individuals to spread misinformation, continuing KGB-style “active measures” from the Cold War. Here’s how you can spot them 👇 (1/7)

This happened because of you. You protested at TeslaTakedowns and made his name and his company’s product reviled. You protested outside federal agencies slated for DOGE cuts. You barred doors, protected data. You sued and won. You WORE HIM OUT. Don’t let them spin it any other way.

NEW: Illinois lawmakers ban schools from using police to ticket and fine students for minor misbehavior. This does not happen without the amazing reporting from @jodiscohen.bsky.social and @jsmithrichards.bsky.social of @propublica.org and @chicagotribune.com. www.propublica.org/article/illi...

@ABC: BREAKING: A federal court has determined that Pres. Trump does not have the authority to unilaterally impose tariffs, dealing a sweeping blow to the president's main weapon in his ongoing global trade war.

"Renters need to make six figures to comfortably afford rent in 8 major markets, up from 4 markets 5 years ago." The cost of living is skyrocketing and wages are stagnant. Workers have no means of relief when we prioritize the interests of the ultra-rich. zillow.mediaroom.com/2025-05-12-N...

This is Cow. She does a very convincing t-rex impersonation. Mainly because she was born with one tiny arm, but also because she's a ruthless apex predator. 12/10 (IG: a_dane_and_her_mutts)

We stand with Bruce Springsteen, Taylor Swift, Pearl Jam, Neil Young, and every other great artist resisting this treasonous administration.

“Four top partners at Paul Weiss announced late Friday that they were leaving the law firm, a major blow to the firm in the wake of its decision to cut a deal with President Trump to head off an executive order that would have restricted its business.” www.nytimes.com/2025/05/23/b...

As a kid in Jersey City, I loved watching a show set on an urban street like mine. “In a notable change from the HBO deal, new episodes of Sesame Street will also run day and date on PBS and the PBS Kids app, ensuring that they are easily accessible.”

They're arresting Members of Congress. Perhaps a sternly-worded letter is in order. Or, perhaps, it's time to play some damn hardball with the DOJ.

If a foreign adversary snuck into our Federal budget and cut science research and education the way we’re cutting it ourselves — strategically undermining America’s long-term health, wealth, and security — we would likely consider it an act of war.

“Art is wild and unruly. It defies political proclamation, it does not respect authority, and it refuses subjugation. Once released into the world, it cannot be contained or legislated away.”

“We ask all who believe in democracy and the best of our American experience to rise with us, raise your voices against authoritarianism, and let freedom ring," Springsteen said. I hope it inspires other artists to use their voices in this urgent time. www.americaamerica.news/p/must-artis...
