Reading for pleasure has fallen by 40 percent since 2000. This is not progress. You should read because it's good for your brain, your soul. You should read because our freedoms will not long endure in a post-literate world. Most of all, you should read because it's fun.

Yes! Do you remember hallmark stores that had the postal substations in the back? We had them in CA for sure

“That would never happen” is what people say when they don’t realize the only reason “that never happens” is because their sense of normalcy relies on invisible systems, held together by people working nonstop to prevent “that”. That’s why the visible “thats” now are so alarming.

Note to media:
“Trump says” is not a story. He says A LOT. He lies a lot. Do some sifting, discerning, contextualizing. Otherwise it’s just stenography. And you’re embarrassing yourselves.

Those are the best kind. And she knows you are supporting her interests 💛

What a perfect gift!

Dear parents:

You see all this stupidity going around? Please read to your kids. Let them see you reading. Keep books around. Buy them books if you can. Show them how cool the library is. Tell them book banning is bad. Make reading part of their lives. It helps make good people.

If that’s what they do to a United States Senator with a question, imagine what they can do to any American that dares to speak up. We will hold this administration accountable.

Because Black people know that there is no such thing as “identification” or “identifying yourself”. They aren’t saying Padilla didn’t identify himself as a U.S. Senator. They are saying that there is only one acceptable identity — credential — being white and, in these times, being pro-Trump.

Oh I wish they’d bring back the tracer. The best of both worlds.

Proof your public library loves you: they leave you alone when you're reading, they love when you bring your kids over, and they'll literally let you borrow any book you want...even their hardcovers

Beshear rocks!

Man. There are a lot of cynics out there. If what Booker is doing doesn’t bring YOU joy, there’s no need to shit all over everyone else’s appreciation.

Good morning.
Listen, you have to just decide.

They are not taking the Black Smithsonian.

Resolve it in your spirit.

Met police raiding a Quaker meeting house is a raid on a place of worship.

Arresting 6 women for attending a meeting is a raid on our right to assembly.

The media silence is deafening.

DO YOU F*CKING GET IT. 😂

I LOVE THESE PEOPLE

It's simple. Everyone in the US enjoys the protections of the Constitution - even visitors. So if someone commits a crime here, you give them due process here. You charge them here, try them here, and sentence them here. You don't deport them to an offshore torture prison.

We are! But it’s getting very little coverage. The boycotts are getting a bit more

This is not in fact legal is WI. Hoping something will be done about that ASAP

It's critical for everyone to remember what an Executive Order is. It is the President communicating orders to members of the executive branch. Policies to pursue, actions to take, etc. They are not laws. They are not close to being laws. They are formalized memos to employees. That's all.

Warnock: They are busy attacking ordinary people. They don’t understand what it’s like to ration your prescription drugs or what it’s like to try to figure out how to afford groceries. In the words of that prophet who just spoke at The Super Bowl: They not like us

Public library energy is the best energy. Like here is all the knowledge we could find, it's been meticulously organized and catalogued and it will cost you nothing today, welcome to the absolute pinnacle of human civic evolution, feel free to pull up any bean bag chair you like :) 📚❤️

Reading a lot more romance too!

Love it!

Ok, I see it but I bet you could layer it over another shirt?
