At our event at the library today, I passed out information about the fact that the Mayor's preliminary budget cuts our public library budget. Only 2 people were aware of this. Everyone was appalled. We need to increase public education about this fact. Folks promised to contact their council member

Statement from survivors. “Survivors have done their part now it’s time for those in power to do theirs.” Melania says “center survivors” but doesn’t consult with them about her “testify before congress” idea. Very performative. Esp. when DOJ that her husband controls won’t even meet with survivors.
The warnings are getting louder about Trump trying to take over voting at the national level.
Are we paying attention?
Sen Mark Warner, vice chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee, is sounding the alarm, and he’s not guessing. That committee sees things the public can’t.
Donald Trump must be removed from office for threatening war crimes and genocide.
Speaker Johnson: bring the House back into session.
Invoking the 25th Amendment and impeachment must be on the table, but Congress should also move on a War Powers resolution to stop Trump.
Speaker Johnson, we are calling on you to bring the House back to DC IMMEDIATELY!
The Cabinet needs to invoke the 25th Amendment. But Congress can’t just sit on its hands and wait for that to happen when the President is threatening to commit war crimes TONIGHT.
Even if every single person in the US called for him to resign, he still wouldn't. Narcissists don't work that way.
Wishing real hard isn't going to make him slink away in defeat.
And articles of impeachement!!

So pro-life means jailing women who miscarry but shrugging when the deranged president says “a whole civilization will die tonight.” Do I have that right?
Today is day 127 of the ICE occupation of MN.
ICE is still here. Neighbors are still being abducted.
So we’re here too. Still carrying whistles. Still standing watch in our neighborhoods. Still doing mutual aid.
Still fighting for ICE OUT EVERYWHERE.
The City of Pittsburgh just passed legislation banning cooperation with ICE.
The vote was unanimous.
🎉🎉🎉
Why only 50!? Should be the whole lot of them, plus 50 GOP
Happening now: an anti-war demonstration is getting underway in Chicago's Federal Plaza, in response to US/Israeli attacks on Iran and Donald Trump's threat to Iran this morning that "a whole civilization will die tonight."
A few dozen people here so far.
This would be followed by immediate articles of impeachment and a call for removal. Doesn't matter if "you don't have the votes." You UNIFY YOUR PARTY and you put it at the feet of the other party.
An opposition party would not be on vacation right now. They would have coordinated message to the public about the fact that a President in cognitive decline is threatening more war crimes. They would be BLASTING the message on all available platforms.
It’s possible to hold several ideas at once. Epstein was protected by a ruling class *and* that ruling class is male supremacist. “Elite complicity” degenders what’s happening and erases the central role of sexual violence in maintaining abusive power. open.substack.com/pub/sorayach...

Well, a ton of them voted for him...
Democratic senators: It's time to draw a line in the sand.
A nominee for Attorney General will soon come before you. Make the confirmation process about releasing ALL of the Epstein files (without redactions) and prosecuting the Epstein class. (1/2)
A budget is a moral document.
Trump cuts taxes for the rich, programs for everyone else — while ballooning the already bloated war budget and raiding the treasury for himself and his family.
And he hopes we’re all too dumb/apathetic to notice.
The next tipping point in the energy transition is approaching.
Overall, solar has already been cheaper than fossil power for a while, but upfront costs used to be higher.
That's no longer the case. Solar is now competitive upfront AND has vastly lower operating costs (no fuel).
Why do we live in such a childish, stupid country? A country that wastes its money on useless billion dollar aircraft carriers, when it could be spending those tax dollars to actually help its citizens like sane countries.
Activists hold sign UNFIT
We heard the meaningless rambling of a confused, dementia ridden old man last night.
He is unfit to lead this country.
He must resign or be removed.
He’s destroying US society & economy and our allies’.
He *must* resign or be removed.
Meryl Streep: The SAVE America Act will make it harder for women who have changed their names to vote
She’s right. Text SAVE to 63033 to tell your senators to vote no on the SAVE America Act.
I am shocked. Shocked, I tell ya'
@govevers.wisconsin.gov is a kind and gentle person... guess even the greatest gentlemen can only be pushed so much.

Stephen Miller demanded that ICE-holes “force confrontations” with protesters because “anti-ICE could not be viewed as successful.” He repeatedly said that protesters “need to be vanquished by any force necessary.”
Later, ICE-holes murdered Alex Pretti.

A graph titled “the public health success of the measles vaccine” that shows the number of measles cases in the United States plummeting after the vaccine was introduced in 1963
I showed this graph in class yesterday on how measles cases in the United States plummeted dramatically after the vaccine was licensed in 1963. It’s not subtle and I could not resist observing: “This stunning design in measles cases was not thanks to vitamin A. It was not due to beef tallow.”
