In a basement down the stairs
There was music in the cafes at night
And revolution in the air... "

The project isn't necessarily gone for good, but it's good that it's gone.

A fine example of effective community organization.

"In response to Trump's order, attorneys general in 21 states sued the administration.

Now, after a judge's ruling that Trump's actions were unlawful, libraries and museums across the country will have access to money that had been stuck in a months-long limbo..."

Libraries and museums get federal funding back after Trump cuts
Earlier this year, the Trump administration gutted the Institute of Museum and Library Services, leading to canceled federal grants. Now, after a court order, those grants are being reinstated.

The GOP has transitioned from the party of life to the party of death. They are killing us in every way imaginable. 🤬🤷‍♂️
To be very clear: Kennedy's team is messing with a vaccine which has led to a 99 percent drop in the incidence of hepatitis B, which kills, early and painfully, 25 percent of the children who get it.

Never have I ever heard a better description of this toad:

Oh and he defends murder.

The USPS posting a NINE BILLION DOLLAR LOSS!!! sounds terrible. Certainly worse than if you said "USPS costs thirty dollars per person per year" even though that means the same thing and more accurately describes a government service

The US president is a terrorist.
An American president is pressuring politicians of his own party on social media by name, even after some of them have received threats and been swatted in the wake of prior Trump postings. This is what experts on political violence call "stochastic terrorism."

It’s exactly what everybody has been warning about Trump since his first run: He’s Putin’s pal. He’s turning NATO against the USA. He’s got enough control over America now to toss off his mask. The Republicans are evidently just fine with this.
