@schumer.senate.gov has no plan, he's just not willing to give up his ride on the gravy train.
Remember that the only 3 things politicians care about is making money, staying elected, and screwing over the other party. Worry about constituents only occurs if it benefits one of the first 3.

#China: It has been two years since Minnie Chan, a defence reporter at the #SCMP, disappeared during a trip to Beijing after covering a military conference. As the general indifference surrounding her case raises fears of state repression, RSF urges the Chinese regime to disclose her whereabouts.

Remember when Texas Dems broke quorum & in response TX AG Paxton & Gov Abbot demanded their arrest & removal from office?

Under Speaker Johnson, Congress has been in session only 12 of last 100 days, absent since Sept 19, & he still won't swear in Rep-elect Grijalva.

Rules for thee but not for me.

New from 404 Media: you can't refuse to be scanned by ICE's new facial recognition app, according to internal DHS document I obtained. Photos captured by the app are stored for 15 years, including U.S. citizens. We've seen officers scanning faces w/ phones on streets

Library (archives, research) folk, could you give me your best one liners about Why Cataloguing Matters, please?

Because sometimes 'Without cataloguing no-one can find or use the stuff' just isn't enough, although it clearly should be.

Thank you very. #GLAM #archives #rarebooks #metadata 📚

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House.

Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity.

They are not the same.

I will forever say, there are times that call for high risk activities.

But there are NEVER times that call for doing high risk activities with The New Guy, especially if The New Guy proposes them.

If someone is advocating for doing high risk activities, esp if it's someone you're new to, STAY AWAY from that person.
