I’m a part time librarian and I just want to echo what I’ve seen other librarians say recently: there is a HUGE uptick in requests for social justice, climate justice, abolition, history, etc books and I just want to say nobody is giving up the fight. If anything people are fighting harder #library

Wars end, dictatorships end. We have a future. Everything you do or don't do matters. Choose faith, hope, collective power. Do whatever you can, where you are, with whatever you have. You matter and together our voices will make a difference.

Our coalition is a peaceful resistance—a group of tree-huggers dedicated to keeping Americans informed.

A Spiritual Pep Talk from the Shores of the Potomac Goodness can be as relentless as evil.

Great inspiration from a favorite pastor

Good and loving and smart and honest people exist. There are a lot of them. More than the bad and cruel and dumb and mendacious.

They're not perfect, they just care for others, even strangers. Not always actively, but as a default.

Find them, celebrate them, commune with them. You are not alone

If you're feeling despair it's because you have a moral compass. It means you're not empty on the inside - that you nurse hope and a sense of justice in a cage next to your heart. You're one of my people and I'll stand with you. There are more of us than they want you to believe. Hold fast.

How Trump makes tragedies worse, a history The president blaming DEI for a deadly plane crash is not the first time he's peddled conspiracy theories as the nation reels from a crisis.

Trump's baseless claims about the tragic plane collision in Washington, DC are not surprising—they are a pattern.

In the past, he also boosted false and disproven claims in the aftermath of terrorist attacks, a national pandemic, police brutality, and natural disasters. Here is the timeline:

Kansas faces one of the largest tuberculosis outbreaks in US history Kansas is currently facing one the largest tuberculosis outbreaks in U.S. history with 67 confirmed active cases and 79 confirmed latent cases.

Do you wonder why you haven’t heard much about this massive TB outbreak recently? Cuz the CDC can’t hold any press conferences or issue public statements of any kind.

Watching these red states attack federal funding—apparently not realizing that most of their states are broke and would completely collapse without it—will always be hilarious to me.

Donald Trump says there are "30,000 beds in Guantanamo" and will sign an executive order to use it as a migrant detention center.

His own White House admitted it’s a lie.

Never disrespect yourself by begging anybody for bare minimum. You'll never have to ask the right person for affection, attention, respect, loyalty, or love— because they'll naturally want to show it. If someone doesn't see the value in giving you that, don't try to convince them.

I’m not kidding: those who delegate all their writing, thinking and creative expression to machines are going to wake up one day and discover that they can no longer write or think. You need to make your own art. You need to keep your brain working. You need to stay human.

The Madness of Robert F. Kennedy. Jr. The depth of his extremism has not been fully conveyed to the public.

The media has failed the public on a crucial matter: the derangement of Robert F. Kennedy Jr., writes @davidcorn.bsky.social.

News reports often describe him as a vaccine skeptic when he is far more dangerous than that.

Republican congressman suggests some children receiving free school lunches should work at McDonald’s instead Rep. Rich McCormick of Georgia said the freeze on federal aid would allow the government to review all programs, including ones that provide free school lunches to low-income children.

Today in Politics, Bulletin 59. 1/28/25 … Puppy killer Kristi Noem showed up in NYC in tactical gear to cosplay an ICE agent after she was recently sworn in as DHS Secretary by Clarence Thomas: “I’m here in NYC this morning.

Trump just plunged the country into chaos, illegally freezing aid to millions—Medicaid portals went down in all 50 states. Meanwhile, Kristi Noem is cosplaying as ICE, Milley is under attack, and Caroline Kennedy torches RFK Jr. Today’s insanity, all in one place:

Yes, what’s happening is overwhelming and exhausting, but I refuse to be overwhelmed or exhausted. That’s their goal. That’s how they demoralize people and convince them there’s nothing they can do. Don’t believe it.
