News Outlets Won't Describe Trump's AI Video For What It Is: The President Pooping on America Major outlets said the President dumped "brown liquid" that "appeared to be feces" in an AI-generated video. They refused to call a spade a spade, or poop, poop.

"We are in an era where the highest office in the country is disseminating imagery that isn’t just fake and stupid, but actively hostile to the people living in this country. ... AI continues to be the aesthetic of fascism: fast, easy, ugly." 🔥💩

To become dependent on ChapGPT is to evacuate yourself from your own life.

YIKES, no thanks. I’m gonna be alive inside every damn thing I do, even and especially the ish I don’t wanna do.

University-wide AI mandate.

Fake as HELL.

I'm obsessed with this hyperlocal news.

As the August 5th election nears, we've been getting a lot of questions from patrons who have heard or read false claims about Proposals A&B. So, we've put together this page with the false claims we've heard and the facts that refute them:

Please share and tell your friends!

The fiscal conservatives in the GOP just added $4 trillion to the deficit to give the wealthiest people on earth a tax cut. The pro-family party just took healthcare away from 17 million Americans to give ICE a bigger budget than Brazil’s military. The single most inhumane bill ever passed.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.

This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.

It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

Almost twice as many people ride the New York City bus every day as live in Wyoming.

The bus should have two senators

Not there, but did I cry watching this? Yes. Yes, I did.

This Is The Beginning of The End of The 9/11 Era Capital and nativism will fight even harder against Zohran Mamdani now. But in capital's seat of power, socialism defeated barbarism. I fucking love New York

Socialism, tonight, defeated barbarism. After the two-decade midnight of 9/11, dawn is breaking.

We are finally here on Bluesky, too! Follow us to help build an Ann Arbor for All.

This is really great and made me love and be in awe of @aadl.org more than ever. We are fervent library users and I still learned a ton. Ann Arbor is so lucky to have a visionary and commited director like @eli.aadl.org, an excellent library board, and stable funding structure. Vote yes on A&B!

More Than a Dozen U.S. Officials Sold Stocks Before Trump’s Tariffs Sent the Market Plunging Records show well-timed trades by executive branch employees and congressional aides. Even if they had no insider information, ethics experts say such trading undermines faith in government and the ma...

NEW: More than a dozen high-ranking executive branch officials and congressional aides made well-timed trades since Trump took office, most of them selling stock before the market plunged amid fears that Trump’s tariffs would set off a global trade war.

Unreal. Hate it.

A timely quote from Dr. Carla Hayden: “Libraries are a cornerstone of democracy—where information is free and equally available to everyone. People tend to take that for granted, and they don’t realize what is at stake when that is put at risk.”

President Donald Trump fires Librarian of Congress Carla Hayden President Donald Trump has abruptly fired Librarian of Congress Carla Hayden as the White House continues to purge the federal government of those perceived to oppose the president and his agenda.

I mean, fuck off, obviously. 📚 apnews.com/article/dona...

LEO-GLAM quits contract with UMich LEO-GLAM announced that they will be quitting their contract with the University after four months of bargaining over a new contract.

“Overall, negotiations with our employer have been professional and productive...The only item left on the table is salary. We believe we can reach an agreement soon. However, our members are willing to escalate, if necessary.” - @mkahn.bsky.social (our kickass chair)

The title and description are subtle, but this episode of This American Life is 3 hugely important stories about how this presidential adminstration/regime is destroying lives. All are carefully told and it's a must listen.

This is my love! Jam packed with bike bus joy, love for our neighborhood, the Great Hinckley Fire, IMLS advocacy, and Vermont shout outs.

Affordable childcare seemed like an impossible task. This is the simple way Vermont pulled it off When business owners noticed their employees couldn’t find childcare they got the state to pass a 0.44% payroll tax. A year later, the state has 90 new child care programs and 1,000 new child care spo...

Small but mighty Vermont is at it again. This is so smart and the quick turnaround of seeing an impact is just amazing.

One of the most clarifying things I've seen in the past few weeks is "de-escalate all conflict that is not with the enemy."
