This is how insane people sound when you tell them why A.I. is bad

Criminals.

Public libraries need our help! Here's one impactful way to show support for our public libraries:

Contact the Congressional Appropriations Committees in support of funding for the Institute of Museum and Library Services, which they'll determine next week.

BREAKING: A federal judge reversed National Institutes of Health's terminations of hundreds of critical research grants that were canceled because of their alleged connection to disfavored topics, including diversity, equity, inclusion, and gender identity.

This is a major win for public health.

Trump says mass deportations are urgent—but not if they mess with his donors’ pockets.

ICE was told to back off farms & hotels 'cause it was bad for business. But LA and Chicago? Open season.

Please be for real—this is the weaponization of government against cities that refuse to bow down to him.

Senator Mike Lee pretended he was on the phone to avoid being confronted by @smith.senate.gov after he mocked assassination victims this weekend. She made sure he heard what she had to say.

There are widespread reports of ICE agents abducting people while masked, without warrants or identification. Due to recent events, we strongly advise: do not open your door or car for anyone you don’t know. That’s the message. No need to elaborate.

It’s definitely time to show what punk rock and Star Wars taught us.

Happy Obama Appreciation Day.

By now, we've all seen the video of Senator Alex Padilla (D-CA) being forcibly removed and handcuffed for asking a question during Kristi Noem's press conference.

But what Noem said just moments before the video was taken is "classic authoritarian red-baiting," points out @davidcorn.bsky.social.

A group of us have arrived on the Senate floor to challenge our colleagues - on both sides of the aside - to rise to this moment and jointly condemn what has happened to Sen. Padilla. Yes we still need to collect the full facts, but this appears to be a defining moment for the country.

Padilla: If this is how DHS responds to a senator with a question you can only imagine what they're doing to farm workers, to cooks, to day laborers out in the Los Angeles community and throughout California.

👏👏👏

I LOVE @scrivenerapp.bsky.social. @kirkville.com & I did this podcast at midnight (listen to find out why) and not only do we talk about writing, but the marketing of kids' books vs adult books, the creative process + more.

This is terrifying in America. ICE agents are showing up masked—these abductions must stop. If you’re going to detain someone, show your face, present a warrant, and proper ID. Disappearing people from their families without evidence or accountability isn’t law enforcement—it’s state-sponsored fear.

Many products sold in the U.S. are made in El Salvador. In response to the El Salvador president’s statements today, we’re calling for an immediate boycott of all Salvadoran-made goods. Please help by listing any products or brands made in El Salvador in the comments below.

20,000 in ruby red Utah on their feet, in community, and ready to organize for a better world.

A better world is possible.

Booker: "This isn't just about Mr. Garcia. This is about every American understanding that this president is making an assault on the due process rights that are afforded to people in our country ... you cannot disappear people off American streets."

Watch a major campaign being born.

BREAKING: 36k people showed up in LA for Bernie and AOC’s rally. In the off year.

Americans are pissed — and anyone ignoring that is making a big mistake.

BOOK REVIEW - Supernatural Korea

Out in May from Tuttle Publishing

"This is a book to be savoured as much for the presentation and illustration as for the traditional stories it brings together."

Kinda hard to see a free and fair 2028 election where she doesn’t win by a lot.
