I didn’t know Sally Field was going to be in this movie! If you haven’t read the book, it’s a must read.

HI HELLO SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL LIBRARY.
A colorful illustration of the front of a library with a librarian at the door waving to members of the community outside. A banner over the library reads "FIND YOUR JOY!" Logos for American Library Association and Library Champions in top right. Text below the illustration reads "Celebrate NATIONAL LIBRARY WEEK, April 19-25, 2026"
It's #NationalLibraryWeek! Take time to discover what brings you joy at your library: browse the shelves, join a book club, attend a program, or get started on your next creative project in a makerspace.
Be sure to visit your library or ilovelibraries.org and celebrate your library all week long!
🚨BREAKING: The Department of Justice is demanding that Wayne County, Michigan turn over its ballots from the 2024 election to investigate voter fraud claims. Michigan’s attorney general and secretary of state have responded saying that’s not going to happen. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
Anyway, our public libraries deserve more support. Let's fight to ensure they receive what they need to pay library workers fairly, to do the necessary capital repairs/upgrades, and to afford lots of books and other resources, and to offer programming.
Good night everyone. #NationalLibraryWeek
The effective federal corporate income tax rate:
1950: 50%
1990: 25%
2020: 13%
Stop asking "but how we will pay for it?" Restore the corporate tax rate.
That is how we will pay for it.
Black text on white background: If corporations allow you to sign up with one click, you should be able to cancel with one click too. Subscription traps, whether from an app or gym membership, are just another way corporations take advantage of working people. We've already put hundreds of companies on notice. This week, we proposed a rule that would make NYC a national leader in cracking down on abusive practices that nickel-and-dime New Yorkers.
The President is threatening genocide and possible use of nuclear weapons against Iran.
It’s clear the President has continued to decline and is not fit to lead. The members of his Cabinet must invoke the 25th Amendment immediately.
Let's focus on something we ALL agree on:

I'm not a political consultant but i feel like dems could probably get a lot of leverage out of pushing for green technologies that would wean the us off being dependent on oil in this particular moment

McGowan: You're saying 46 Americans died, so we should attack this country. Here at home, 68,000 Americans die a year because they don't have health insurance. So, if we're going to spend billions of dollars on something…
The funniest thing in the world is Donald trump threatening to stop legislating. Oh no more tax cuts for billionaires! Oh well!
Last week, Minnesota’s top federal prosecutor appeared before two federal district court judges and asked them to not hold the Trump administration in contempt for violating court orders. The judges, Biden appointee Jeffrey Bryan and Clinton appointee John Tunheim, had both directed the government…
Just so we're all clear, this is a war crime and would be punishable by life or death under U.S. law.
Photo of ALA Members participating in a 1980 Equal Rights Amendment march in Chicago, holding a blue, white, and yellow flag with "American Library Assn" printed in the middle. Text over image reads, "ALA's Committee on the Status of Women in Librarianship. 'Librarianship cannot upgrade itself without upgrading opportunities for women who constitute the majority of the profession.'" ALA150, American Library Association
Librarianship has long been dominated by women, but that has historically not translated to true equity in other dimensions. ALA's Committee on the Status of Women in Librarianship was created in 1976 to further the advancement of women within the field.

The First Amendment fully protects our right to record ICE agents, police, FBI, National Guard troops, and other government officials performing their duties in public.
Know your rights while filming, how to protect your digital privacy, and what to do if you're stopped or arrested for recording.
The federal government is executing American citizens in the middle of the street for exercising their constitutional right to freedom of speech.
This is tyranny. No free people can accept this kind of government. We need to bring an end to the Trump regime.
If you’re defending kidnapping a five year old, you’re losing
We all need to multi-task now...
I know for a fact that your elected representatives respond when they get FLOODED with phone calls and emails from their constituents.
Call yours NOW and DON'T LET UP.
Demand they defund ICE.
Demand the FULL release of the #EpsteinFiles.
Ben Damberg protest volunteer: “None of us want to be doing this — I don’t, but we simply cannot stand by as other Minnesotans are being hurt — we will march, we will protest, & we will do it all peacefully above all else”
Do you know how hard it is to get cops to seemingly side with people shot by a bunch of officers
If the government executing us in the streets isn’t your red line, then you’ve already decided to endorse it.
There’s no gray area left. No ambiguity.
Our government is murdering the citizens of this country. They are doing it without any checks on their violence
To repeat: Abolish ICE.
ICE just shot another one of my neighbors. They had the person on the ground, being beaten by several agents, and then fired multiple shots. In front of the donut shop where we like to get donuts for our kids.
NYT push alert: "A person was shot dead today during a struggle with federal agents in Minneapolis, according to officials."
By who? Who shot the person dead? You saw the video. We all know a federal agent shot a man dead who was prone on the ground. Also, it's not "according to officials." It's according to verified video seen with your eyes. Not saying what anyone can obviously see with their eyes is a form of lying.
From this moment forward (and before, but clearly now):
-If you work for ICE.
-If you vote for money for ICE.
You are complicit. This is the gestapo. You're on the wrong side. You can't pretend not to know.
You know what’s worse than the image? Actually doing it.
