"Well, is it too much to have them work and pay and live and die in a couple of decent rooms and a bath? My father didn't think so. People were human beings to him, to you, a warped, frustrated old man, they're cattle. Well, in my book he died a much richer man than you'll ever be."
Then and Now

If they are doing this to white people in broad daylight imagine what they are doing to non-white people in detention facilities.

Kermit was on Sesame Street too!

Pew Research Institute (2023):

• Red State Texas has about 2.1 million undocumented immigrants

• Red State Florida has 1.6 M undocumented immigrants

• Blue State Minnesota has 130,000.

And yet only Minnesota is being occupied by masked thugs over "immigration."

It's *not* about immigration.

Now, more than ever, check out a novel from your public library, get yourself some snacks, and READ for pure joy. You deserve it.

As a survivor, I can't think of a more fitting metaphor than a rapist creating loud noises with planes as a survivor tries to tell her story. I mean... just wow. Nevertheless, she persisted.

*** END OF UPDATE ***

Thank you so much! My students will be thrilled!

I truly don’t understand the people who think teachers telling children how to run, hide, and fight during school shootings is normal but think a teacher acknowledging that someone has two moms or two dads is indoctrination.

Between RFK decimating the CDC, normalizing Ashli Babbitt & the umpteenth school shooting... I'm losing the will to post.

Noem says ICE only arrests those suspected of bad crimes.If so, then send unmasked officers into workplace with warrants for such criminals.
Of course they don’t do that because they are doing racial profiling and hurting hard-working people and the courts have called them on these nazi tactics.

If you are able, do three kind things today: one for yourself, one for somebody else, and one for the world. We can't make everything better, and we can't yet put an end to this terrible administration and its campaign of unrelenting evil. But we can do small, good things: beauty, grace, connection.

Proud of my congressman!

I hope Gov. Gavin Newsom wins his $787 million lawsuit against bullshit mountain Fox News, and turns their headquarters into a massive library full of banned books.

Run by drag queens.

My colleague laying it plain.

Thanks @senangusking.bsky.social

Healthcare for seniors is *not* waste, fraud, or abuse.

Food for hungry kids is *not* waste, fraud, or abuse.

A $45 military parade for a draft dodging felon *is* waste, fraud, and abuse.

Paying the National Guard to attack US citizens *is* waste, fraud, and abuse.

I do understand that Biden’s inner circle covered up his decline. Got it. What I don’t understand is the same journalists and pundits pounding that story are ignoring this psychopath like it’s normal. I accepted Biden was old all along. I can’t accept this lunatic leading us.

America cannot long remain free, nor first among nations, if it becomes the kind of place where universities are dismantled because they don't align politically with the current head of the government.

Formaldehyde

I don't know about you, but I care less and don't want to see any report now about President Biden's so-called cognitive decline from any journalist or consultant who wants to line their pockets by doing Trump's bidding and going after President Biden.

Leave. Joe. Biden. Alone.

Baby Platypuses to cleanse the timeline

He fired

Carla fucking Hayden

The Librarian of Congress

An amazing, badass, kind human being

May he never know peace

The life of a school librarian… half our time spent convincing you to borrow our books, and the other half desperately pleading with you to bring them back!

Trump administration fires librarian of Congress | CNN Politics The White House on Thursday notified Librarian of Congress Carla Hayden that she was removed from her position, a spokesperson for the Library of Congress told CNN.

Shameful. Devestating. I urge people who keep making excuses to look at this and stop letting others get away with looking away and carrying on with business as usual. Regardless of the title, she remains my Librarian in Chief. #Librarysky
