Strike averted: LAUSD schools will open Tuesday after SEIU Local 99 deal

Poland is planning to jail all the elites in Epstein files.
They have started a task force to analyse the Epstein files as they don't trust the way the Americans have handled them.

LAUSD teacher and service worker unions announce massive April 14 strike if no deal reached It would mean 60,000+ district workers — teachers, counselors, nurses, bus drivers, janitors and cafeteria workers — would walk out, crippling school operations.

Strike date- April 14th! www.latimes.com/california/s...

America has lost a titan in the struggle for civil rights and racial justice. From his days at the side of Dr. King, to his moral leadership in this century, Rev. Jesse Jackson, Sr. spent his life pushing our nation closer to its own ideal.

In this episode, Andrea, Tom, and I talk about our fist project for our nonprofit @bldglibraries.bsky.social and about how we are about to complete Phase 2 at the Jane Adeny Memorial School (JAMS) in Kenya! We also discuss future projects.

Fantastic article! Will share with my school. My middle school students are concerned about it but many use it to complete work. Will be great argumentative topic.

I am the rare librarian who does not set reading goals.

It creates anxiety & something "to do." It robs me of the joy of reading.

My 2026 "reading goal" is to read what I want & to enjoy the act of reading.

That may be 1 book. It may be 100. Doesn't matter.

To all the young people in New York and across our country who count on gender-affirming care:

I won't let this administration come for you, your doctors, or your lifesaving health care. 

Your health care is still legal and protected. 

I'll always fight for you.

AOC: We have a future to fight for, and we're either going to do that together or you're going to be left behind. It's not about Progressive. It's not moderate, it's not liberal. This is about do you understand the assignment of fighting fascism right now? And the assignment is you come together…

Such extremism! So much terror!

Thank you to the organizers of today's wildly successful (and peaceful) "No Kings" rallies. You did an amazing job. And thanks to all the millions of people who showed up to give us faith. And a special shout out to the White House regime and the Speaker of the House for all the free publicity!

Dissent is patriotic.

We’re hitting the streets today to defend our democracy.

Funny, how the "No Kings" protesters were "elderly white hippies" in August (per Stephen Miller), but are "pro-Hamas terrorists and violent criminals" in October (per Karoline Leavitt).

It's *almost* as if this regime makes its shameless lies up as it goes along . . .

Authoritarians fear only one thing: DEFIANCE‼️

This is a blatant attempt to silence and isolate us. He’s stopping the trains, closing the freeways and firing live rounds into California. We will not be intimidated. We will not be silenced. #NoKings

The Late Show with Stephen Colbert just dropped its first response to ABC, FCC chair, and Disney firing Jimmy Kimmel.
This is a must-watch. 🔥 #cdnpoli

Governor announces New Mexico will now provide free universal child care NEW MEXICO (KRQE) – New Mexico is becoming the first state in the U.S. to offer free early childhood education to every family in the state. Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham announced a universal ch…

Great news. Let's do this everywhere. www.krqe.com/news/politic...

As a bookish kid, I admired the Supreme Court for having the character to unanimously come out against segregation in the 1950s, when no other branch of our government would have had that courage.

So it saddens me to see it lose its way and endorse judging people for the color of their skin today.

Washington turns out to protest Trump’s occupation Thousands demand the "immediate withdrawal" of federal troops from the District of Columbia.

Thousands of people took to the streets of Washington, DC, on Saturday to voice opposition to Donald Trump’s armed federal intervention in the city.

This is what democracy looks like.

Pritzker: "Any rational person who has spent even the most minimal amount of time studying human history has to ask themselves one important question: once they get the citizens of this nation comfortable with the current atrocities committed under the color of law, what comes next?"

The same group of people and organizations who previously organized #NoKings has scheduled another #NoKings peaceful protest for October 18, 2025!!

We are expecting protests in every state and territory!!

Mark your calendars now and get ready to protest by the millions!!

October 18, 2025!

Today: Anti-Trump protesters marched in Washington, all the way to the White House—peaceful, defiant, rejecting his occupation of D.C.

If you don’t think Trump is compromised, ask yourself how Ghislaine Maxwell got a meeting with Todd Blanche and how Putin got a summit on American soil.

You think your pain and your heartbreak are unprecedented in the history of the world, but then you read. It was books that taught me that the things that tormented me most were the very things that connected me with all the people who were alive, who had ever been alive

How Trump Killed Cancer Research Attempting to eliminate funding for certain kinds of “woke” studies, the Trump administration erased hundreds of millions of dollars being used for cancer research.

We all know someone—or have been personally affected—by cancer. This @wired.com piece shows how Trump’s federal cuts are gutting cancer research, undoing years of progress and threatening the future of the Cancer Moonshot. #CancerResearch #PublicHealth

Canceled grants get the spotlight at a Capitol Hill 'science fair' On Tuesday, scientists held an event organized by House Democrats in which they stood in front of posters outlining their work — and the federal cuts that now threaten it.
