Agreed… and we nonprofits are doing what we can to stave off the worst…if you want to send about $10,000 our way, we can help so many with utilities and rent and food to keep us going until someone gets this economy on track. From one Yinzer to another. #ChristianCountyCares #UTurninEducation

In case you have not heard… what can only be described as a long-awaited, small victory… Christian County, Missouri Libraries will NOT be labeling books. It was slow, hard, exhausting, and most democracy is… but as with democracy, the reward is great.

It’s been 27 days since ICE sent Andry (the make-up artist with β€œmom” & β€œdad” tattoos that ICE claimed were TdA tattoos) to be imprisoned in El Salvador.

Thank you @repyassansari.bsky.social, @maxwellfrost.bsky.social, @robertgarcia.bsky.social, and @repdexteror.bsky.social for not forgetting him.

To the Conclave: Please continue the great work of Pope Francis. His fight for social justice for all of God’s children restored my faith. His rejection of Donald Drumpf’s terrible words and actions will continue to feed my work for social justice on my very small world.

US fires Greenland military base chief for 'undermining' JD Vance The US military said it had lost confidence in Colonel Susannah Meyers' ability to lead.

The chief for our Greenland base was fired for not being political.

She is reported to have written: "I do not presume to understand current politics, but what I do know is the concerns of the US administration discussed by Vice-President Vance on Friday are not reflective of Pituffik Space Base."

The GOP will have you believe that thousands of non-citizens are voting in our elections. This is not true.

The Save Act will make it easier for states to purge their voter rolls & makes it harder for millions of citizens to vote.

Tell Congress to vote NO!

You’ll be seeing a lot more of this in the next few weeks.

IMLS and Federal Funding for libraries allowed libraries to make discounted purchase of databases, resources, digital content, and much more.

Really can’t overstate how much Republicans tried to win this Wisconsin Supreme Court race. They flooded the zone with outside dollars. Sent in major national figures. And lost by almost double digits. A massive failure for Republicans.
