Bluesky friends. I'm pinning this story here to share how this girl & her dad started a neighborhood library business as a direct result of Trump's agenda. I truly appreciate you taking the time to read our story. 💙

Luckily, Sinclair has a helpful database of all their stations, so you can see if they're operating in your area and respond accordingly.

I think it would be good to get some women in charge of the countries that have nuclear weapons. Women talk to each other. Women can be reasonable. Enough with the macho men and swinging dicks.

4-year-old Bakersfield girl facing deportation could die within days of losing medical care - Los Angeles Times

Don’t ever tell me that Christians support the GOP. There is nothing Christian or Christ-like about this. Just plain old cruelty and callousness:
4-year-old Bakersfield girl facing deportation could die within days of losing medical care
In 2023, a Mexican girl, 4, was allowed U.S. entry for lifesaving medical care. She and her parents, who live in Bakersfield, have been told they must leave.

Why are ICE agents masked to begin with? Our law enforcement officers shouldn’t be anonymous. Ever.
Ok. This is all over news everywhere. But WHAT? How does he get held accountable. Who is handcuffing him?

I have been advocating for Kilmar Abrego Garcia & now it's time to also put our attention onto Andry Hernandez Romero.

trump condemned him to CECOT, in El Salvador. He came here as a gay man to seek asylum; he committed no crime in the U.S. and has followed all the steps here to seek asylum.
Editorial: We must all advocate for Andry’s release
Gay makeup artist Andry Jose Hernández Romero sits in a notorious prison in El Salvador for no good reason.

After all the news of Kilmar I was deep diving yesterday about this young man. I was wondering what happened to the outcry for him. They originally said 75% of them were unlawfully taken. What do we know about the others?

Bluesky, please make this go viral. This beloved teacher in my FL district is losing her job for using a student's preferred name. Students are protesting & started these petitions. Please share & sign. (Read my pinned post on @litinspired.bsky.social and see how red and awful this county is.)
PLEASE READ: This teacher in my district is being targeted--FIRST CASE in Fl but this will become national. If you read my pinned story I shared how our district is one of the reddest & most toxic. This is how. The students are fighting for her. Bluesky--please share.

I would have liked to believe that the Dodgers, the organization that broke the color barrier & has the most diverse team in baseball, would have known enough not to go to this White House. Shame on them.

The public library is one of the most powerful ideas ever. Walk in with nothing—walk out with a world of knowledge. That kind of freedom is priceless. On Right to Read Day, let’s remind everyone that libraries are worth fighting for. #NationalLibraryWeek #BookSky 💙📚 #TLSky
And the dismissiveness of their students.
I don’t get it. I’m in the district of FL where the CO founder of moms for liberty was my school board member. I’m a teacher and so many colleagues voted for him. 🤬 But when the special ed teacher said she’s happy he’s gutting DOE my mouth dropped.
Yes Brevard! Even our super red county…the one that birthed Moms for Liberty cofounder, housed the horrible Randy Fine, and home to countless J6 criminals, showed up!

Every corner at FL 520 & US1 is packed with regular Americans saying Hell No! HandsOff our democracy. Hands off our rights. Hands off our Medicaid. Hands of every damn thing Musk & Trump and the gutless GOP is trying to take frrom us! And this in deep red Brevard. #HandsOff
Sure it. I find it hard to believe any of these a-holes get elected but here we are...
"I'm your Huckleberry" still gets me 🫠 but my young girl era grew up on "Real Genius" 🫦 and "Top Secret." 😄 RIP Val Kilmer.
Yesterday I pinned a lengthy post about how I partnered with my dad to start putting neighborhood libraries everywhere. I explained how red my county is. Forgot to even mention, this is where Randy Fine started his political career.🤮Thought Trump was bad? Randy Fine is worse. More vile & vindictive.
Agreed. I switched to CSPAN when they did that.
