WOW. 81% of women 18-29 voted for Mamdani, 80% for Sherril, and 78% for Spanberger.

Gen Z women aren't playing around.

From matt Bennett: "It turns out that firing half of Northern Virginia for no reason might not be super popular in Northern Virginia."

Zohran Mamdani's Establishment-Fighting Campaign Built Community for Young People “What Mamdani has done is not only inspire and mobilize young people, but he has exposed the establishment and some of their calcified views of participation and inclusion.”

here is my story about how Zohran's focus on community amid the loneliness epidemic helped young people connect their politics to an organizing infrastructure, that interviewed ZM, and does not use the NYT's framing of "they don't know how to make friends" :-) and also ran 4 days before NYT's lol

Trans rights are human rights.

I haven't seen enough about how there are going to be AI data centers built on superfund sites.

librarian salaries are becoming more and more unlivable these days damn

“Missouri wasn’t like this when I was growing up.”

Republicans have controlled the Missouri legislature since 2002. What’s their legacy? Struggling towns, crumbling roads, 4-day school weeks, and 19 hospital closures. They’re arrogant enough to think you won’t notice they caused the failures.

Trump’s approval amongst 18-29 has gone from +5 to -29 in just a few months.

It can go much lower than that, and it will as @votersoftomorrow.org continues to educate Gen Z on Trump’s attacks on our future.

Do you know if there is a list of IMLS grants that have been terminated?

@ach.bsky.social has organised impact.ach.org to document terminated NEH awards. This a resource I wish we never needed.

Grants left and right are being prematurely ended. Some that really matter to me are 1/n

Libraries are key institutions in a democracy. The Trump admin gutting IMLS is part of a broader agenda to undermine education, whitewash history, ban books, restrict access to public goods, & ensure we’re socially isolated.

In case you needed another reminder that reading is political!

Drawn to the Library, National Library Week. April 6-12, 2025. Colorful cartoon illustration of young people at the library drawing, sewing, reading together, and asking the librarian a question.

#NationalLibraryWeek kicks off today! It’s a time to celebrate the places that welcome everyone, spark curiosity, and strengthen our communities.

This week, take a moment to discover—or rediscover—what makes your library special.

What draws you to the library?

i'm holding your hands, gently

april 7 is the start of national library week. get your library card. write your library board. check out 10 books. use your library. do it.

my new theory is that once you have a certain amount of money and wealth you start to go crazy and detach from reality. that number is different for everyone. for me it's $20

ugh i guess i have to stop hating on andy cohen now bc he called out the administration for defunding IMLS......................now sir work on the misogyny.

Incredible news on TDOV.

The 9th Circuit has denied the government’s request to enforce its transgender military ban.

Every time I open a social media app it’s like getting shot

Still seeing lots of folks attributing the beloved Libby app to IMLS — and demonstrating little awareness of Libby’s not-so-great business model:

maybe she's born with it

maybe she just decided to visit The Museum of English Rural Life on the first day of spring
