It’s National Library Week, so support your fucking libraries people. Use them, fight for their funding, fight for your librarians. Don’t let your most reliable third space go to waste.

$4,049 from the average taxpayer for weapons and war.

That's...
-32x the $124 paid for school lunches and other nutrition programs.
-213x the $19 paid for the U.S. Postal Service.
-119x the $34 paid toward public transit.
-253x the $16 spent on Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy.

The federal government
took $4,049 from the average taxpayer to fund war and weapons in 2025.

When you compare that to what went toward programs that actually help us…
the gap gets hard to ignore: 🧵

UPDATE for those following the L.L.Bean campaign. 📣

YOUR voices were heard! After significant pushback from the outdoor community, L.L.Bean is joining the #SavetheForestService movement.

For years, #LLBean stayed silent on politics. You changed that. This is what people power looks like. 🤝

France passed a law requiring solar panels on every parking lot with more than 80 spaces.

Equals 10 nuclear reactors
Reduces heat island, shades cars

The US -- 800 million parking spaces. Most of them are uncovered asphalt sitting in direct sunlight.

Why aren't we doing this?

At Least 88 Profitable U.S. Corporations Paid Zero Federal Income Tax in 2025 At least 88 of the largest corporations in America paid $0 in federal income tax for 2025. Corporate tax avoidance has increased at least in part due to President Trump's “One Big Beautiful Bill Act” and the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.

"At least 88 of the largest corporations in America paid no federal corporate income taxes in their most recent fiscal year despite enjoying substantial pretax profits in the U.S."

Cool. Cool cool cool.

A Century Later, the Parkway’s Grand Vision May Finally Come True Ben Franklin Parkway is one of Philadelphia’s most dangerous roads — not to mention an abysmal place to walk. The solution? Redesign the entire thing — all the way from Logan Circle to the Art Museum.

Audacious. I love it. “All told, the project would produce 16 new acres of green space in the heart of the city — more than twice the size of Rittenhouse Square — and double the amount of tree canopy along the Parkway.” www.phillymag.com/news/2025/09...

Trump: I’m going to destroy an entire civilization.

The Pope: Blessed are the peace makers. War is bad and should stop.

Trump: I’m Jesus.

There's no greater sign of the iron grip that "both sides" framing has on American journalists than the repeated descriptions of the unhinged tantrum Trump is throwing over the pope's anodyne statements on Catholic doctrine as a "feud" or a "fight" or anything else that implies they're both to blame

Text excerpt from a New York Times article: “As he received two bags of a McDonald’s food delivery to the Oval Office on Monday morning, Mr Trump told reporters that he did not catch all that religious imagery. He said he had thought the image he had posted to his Truth Social account had depicted himself not as Jesus - but as a physician.”

Rather than treat Trump’s comments about Pope Leo as deranged, embarrassing and offensive to (many) Catholics, early headlines (and stories) paint it as Trump just bashing back against a political opponent. Truly broken media environment.
