IN HONOR OF FRIENDSHIP MONTH:

djt: "We have certain things in common, Jeffrey."

Epstein: "Yes we do, come to think of it."

djt: "A pal is a wonderful thing. Happy Birthday- and may every day be another wonderful secret."

And by "wonderful secret", he means raping children.

Not even the rain could put out this union leader's fire.

Listen in as he calls out the Trump administration for threatening to withhold back pay for federal workers once the shutdown is eventually over.

Yeah. They’re scary because they’re soulless assholes who have a lot of power.

But they’re also stupid as f*ck. Incompetent. Infantile. Weak. Insecure.

So don’t hold back. Let em hear it!

go get a library card for yourself and your kids, it's a cheap, easy way to support. Support authors that you like. Sarah Kendzior, Timothy Snyder, Naomi Klein, Jodi Picoult, Fredrik Backman, Delia Owens, are some of my favorites.

Fascists and authoritarians want to control what books we have access to. Ideas are a threat to them.

We have to stand up to these evil people.

Since 2021, nearly 23,000 books have been banned—proof that fear still wields a red pen. They’re trying to erase stories of race, identity, and love because they can’t erase the people who live them.

Read defiantly.
Share loudly.

It’s #BannedBooksWeek and yes, they banned To Kill a Mockingbird - one of my FAVORITE books - because it “makes people uncomfortable.” .....bro..... That’s the point! Books that expose racism and injustice SHOULD make you squirm.

Silencing truth is cowardice. Read what they fear.📚

They banned A Clockwork Orange, The Perks of Being a Wallflower, Wicked, Crank and many more because free minds scare them.

So read louder.
Share harder.

Pass the stories they’re desperate to erase.

“Those who ban books fear ideas that set people free.

But censorship doesn’t just silence authors—it steals our freedom to learn, to question, to know ourselves and each other.

This #BannedBooksWeek, stand up for the freedom to read. Every story matters. Every voice counts.”
