We just wanted to take a moment to thank all our new supporters! Tomorrow, there will be more of us!

Do not mess with librarians. They let complete strangers borrow their books. For a living. Even the hardcovers. They are so much stronger than you know.

We’re focused on feeding our kids.

Investing in our schools.

Making sure child care is affordable.

Regardless of the chaos unfolding in Washington, we’re making Minnesota the best state for kids to grow up.

2001: "I paid $0.99 for this Linkin Park song to be my ringtone."

2025: "I have not had my phone off of vibrate-only for ten years. People who have audible ringtones are psychopaths."

Jasmine Crockett, after accusing colleagues of castrating their Constitutional duty, said, “My job is to make sure we don’t have any kings or queens in this country, but it seems like you all have decided it’s going to be Mr. King and his queen. And y’all can pick which one is which.”

Musk 💯💯💯 rigged the election in the swing states.

Harris actually won.

Proud Boys Lose Control of Their Name to a Black Church They Vandalized A judge awarded the trademarked name and symbols to a Washington church to help satisfy a $2.8 million judgment against the far-right group.

The Proud Boys organization no longer controls the trademark, “Proud Boys”, and is now “barred from selling any merchandise with either its name or its symbols without the consent of a Black church in Washington that its members vandalized.”

Crockett: I am tired of the white tears. When you compare me to Marjorie Taylor Greene or me to Lauren Boebert, there is no comparison. So the only people that are crying are the mediocre white boys that have been beaten out by people that historically have had to work so, so much harder

Dorothy B. Porter changed libraries 💜

The Dewey Decimal System used to only have two classifications for Black people: 325 (colonization) & 326 (slavery). Each book by a Black person was put into one of these classifications. A book of poetry? Classified as colonization.

Enter Dorothy B. Porter 🧵

A diverse flight crew of a gay guy, a Black man, and a woman

A gay guy, a Black man, and a woman walk into a flight deck— that’s not the beginning of a joke, but just a regular day at work! There was so much DEI on this plane that we could hardly get in the air. Luckily my limp wrists were able to wrestle the heavy jet back to the ground 💅🏼

Once There Were Wolves by Charlotte McConaghy

Legendborn is fantastic! I’m so excited for the third one coming out.

It’s wild to have two cats and have one of them be just so much more dumb.

Today, Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde boldly called out Donald Trump for his hatred and bigotry at the National Cathedral Prayer Service. Now, the GOP is attacking her for speaking truth to power.

REPOST if you stand with Bishop Budde against Trump!

Opinion | Libraries can help end the culture wars. That’s why they’re under fire. Nothing threatens authoritarianism like a free, quiet place to absorb a full range of information.

We are about to enter an era of extreme and dangerous culture war in the United States. How do we protect our communities and work toward a cultural ceasefire? In this piece I wrote a couple months ago, I offer one possible path. wapo.st/40q1BDn

I guess we’ll see! If it weren’t for all the memories on there I wouldn’t hesitate to delete my account

I just had Vance’s page come up on my feed- I was somehow following him when I’ve never interacted with his page

Pancake says “Go Bills”

I bet Trump was real upset his inauguration wasn’t going to be broadcast on TikTok….I’m out even if it is back.

TikTok is back up again, or at least coming back online.

So, what exactly was the point of taking it down for 12 hours?

Other than to play chicken with a Singaporean CEO to extort him into making a sale.

Orleans County! Go Bills!

I’m restarting my Animal Crossing island to hopefully feel some joy this morning.

Infuriated Troy Aikman after controversial penalty: 'They've gotta address it in the offseason' After seeing the Texans get penalized for a hit on Patrick Mahomes, ESPN's Troy Aikman felt that it might be time for a rule change.

"You can't, as a quarterback, run around and play games with defenders and then be able to draw a penalty." #NFL

LET’S GO BUFFALO

I wonder how long it’ll take for me to not open the TikTok app out of habit.
