Once a library school grad, always a sarcastic individual with too many books and not enough shelves. Definitely not making Mt. Holyoke, Stony Brook, or Pratt proud.

Remember, too, that Hegseth would have been rejected if a single additional Republican senator — or, JD Vance — had joined Sen. Collins, McConnell, and Murkowski in voting no with the Democrats. See: www.senate.gov/legislative/...

And, like, treason. We need to be specific about those connections and those with money. Because all that rolls into a big ball of treason.
When you see Donald Trump's government, a government that works great for those with money and connections and doesn’t work for anyone else, that’s corruption—plain and simple.

i think if you are actively paying for the privilege of doing fascism you shouldn't expect even the shammiest of sham trials at whatever the nuremberg equivalent is forty years from now. at least collaborators can say they were in it for the money.

The only reason to go kill the survivors and lie about it is because you knew the boat wasn’t carrying drugs
5/ Administration explanation to Congress seems to be a bold-face falsehood: claiming double-tap strike was to clear debris, not to kill survivors.

"That explanation has prompted frustration among some members of Congress who say they believe the Pentagon was deceptive."

Worth watching this whole clip. Indistinguishable from Nazi leaders talking about Jews in the 1930s.
TRUMP: If you look at Somalia, they are taking over Minnesota.

REPORTER: What do the Somalians have to do with this Afghan guy who shot the National Guard members?

TRUMP: Ah, nothing. But Somalians have caused a lot of trouble. They're ripping us off.

DHS has announced the end of temporary immigration protections for Haitians.

The decision, effective Feb. 3, 2026, affects up to more than a half million Haitians. They now face returning to a country plagued by criminal gangs that control all major roads into the capital Port-au-Prince.

Librarian here.

I’ve been too broke for books before. It happens. So here are some resources.

1) The library. Now, maybe your particular local library doesn’t have whatever it is. You can request that we purchase something (PLEASE! Makes my job SO much easier). If that doesn’t work 🧵
Just saw someone claim that authors who want to be paid for their work are "class traitors" because we "only let the wealthy" read our books, and I think I need to go into the woods to scream into the night for a bit.

It's $5, not your first-born child! I need that $5 for health insurance!

I know I’m the target demographic (parents in CLE, college in cbus, family in Cincinnati) but this thing would have made my life so much better as a kid.

Would’ve gone home from college more, seen my grandma more as a kid, she’d come to holidays more, etc

Lots of people sharing this clip because it's funny and cathartic but I also genuinely believe it's important.

We have to win the narrative battle between "I live in a corrupt society and that's just how it is" and "I live in a corrupt society and we are going to defeat and humiliate these ghouls."
