Walmart commercial “Inspired by“ How the Grinch Stole Christmas.
”I wish there was a way for WhoKnewVille to get everything they need for the holidays”.
Did they not read the book!? “‘Maybe Christmas,’ he thought, doesn’t come from a store. Maybe Christmas … perhaps … means a little bit more!'”

”I wish there was a way for WhoKnewVille to get everything they need for the holidays”. Walmart.

Did they not read the book!? “‘Maybe Christmas,’ he thought, doesn’t come from a store. Maybe Christmas … perhaps … means a little bit more!'” This commercial is the antithesis of Dr. Seuss’ book.

First HISD took the libraries. Now teachers say the district’s curriculum leaves no room for storybooks and some are secretly reading to students anyway. bit.ly/47dY7Hw

Tweet from Alex Tabarrok reads: “Sergio Garcia, celebrated Chef who came to the US before ICE even existed. Deported after 36 years. The picture tells you a lot about the decline of the Republican party.” Attached photo shows Sergio Garcia standing with Laura and George W. Bush outdoors. The photo is signed: “To Sergio Garcia, With best wishes – George & Laura Bush.”

This was never about deporting criminals. It’s about Stephen Miller’s campaign of ethnic cleansing.

Stephen Miller Is an Immigration Hypocrite. I Know Because I’m His Uncle. If my nephew’s ideas on immigration had been in force a century ago, our family would have been wiped out.

Map of Houston TX Independant School District as of Sept 2025 Map showed areaa with the darker the blue, the greater the poverty. Red dots equal HISD schools that now have no functioning library. Green dots show HISD libraries with resources and a staff member. The wealthy areas have all green dots. The poor areas (in shades of blue) are mostly red dots.

This map speaks for itself.
Do better Texas!

In our latest Vanishing Culture essay, @brewster.kahle.org shares why preserving the library system matters now more than ever: blog.archive.org/2025/04/07/v...
