I find the world a curious place. Sometimes an amazing place. As a librarian, I like to look things up.

WOW. @haleaziz.bsky.social with a new scoop: ICE now gets a running list of every person who is going to be taking a domestic flight inside the United States from the TSA and runs it through their database looking for targets. This explains the Babson College student's arrest.

Brutal but effective public health messaging from New York Public Health.

The CDC is compromised. They’re no longer a reliable source of information.

They push anti-vaxx & anti-science grift.

Get your vaccines. Wear a respirator. Clean the air

Get public health advice from experts, not RFK Jr

I wrote something this morning reflecting on all the ways mutual aid + community are what’s really delivering help to those who need it most. We’re taking care of each other and #thelastdrivein just drove that point home perfectly.

In Maryland, it's only been in the last decade or so that we've managed to dump our Taney statues. It would be nice to think that if there's a republic that survives, its rescuers won't cast any of Roberts to hang around, shaming us for a century or more.
If you see John Roberts in person, be sure to tell him he’s a worse Chief Justice than Roger Taney (pronounced “tawny”). That’s a nerd burn that will hit him where it counts.

NOW, it's a pseudoscience because it's been debunked & is no longer mainstream scientific thinking. Calling historical eugenics a pseudoscience lets science & scientists of the past off the hook (Also, PS is more of a modern-day term. We had terms like "quackery" but eugenics was not that)

Lots of "it's not really authoritarian" etc takes skip over details like how Trump refuses to let a majority-Republican Senate have a say in who runs several U.S. Attorney's Offices. It's profoundly anti-democratic, and by itself strong evidence of corruption and malfeasance.

the Harvard Crimson called Epstein a “child sex offender” while the Chronicle of Higher Ed called him a “disgraced financier” and that pretty much sums up where we are with higher ed journalism

LGBTQ youths experience real-life abuse and depression due to their gender identity/sexuality. The internet provides crucial validation absent in their toxic environments. Legislation targeting digital acceptance under the guise of "child safety" threatens these youths' digital rights and well-being
Online resources are vital for queer and trans communities, especially youth.

Please stop using language that suggests that people with criminal records are appropriate targets for this administration's violence. One in three adults has a criminal record. Stop playing sacrifice games with fascists. Stop surrendering entire categories of people in your own mind.
