Thank you! President Trump is trying to make it harder to vote. Here's why that matters

Brooklyn Public Library ends passport services after State Department order β€’ Brooklyn Paper Last fall, the U.S. Department of State sent cease-and-desist letters to hundreds of nonprofit libraries across the country, telling them they were no longer

Banning books wasn’t enough for Trump. Now he’s coming for public libraries.

For decades, public libraries in communities all across the country – like our own beloved Brooklyn Public Library – have been providing passport application services.

Lost 19th century film by Méliès discovered at the Library | Timeless Library conservators recently made a startling discovery in a batch of decaying film reels -- a long-lost 1897 film by early cinema icon George Méliès. The French magician-turned-filmmaker's

"The 45-second film, made around 1897, was the first appearance on film of what might be called a robot"

HELL. YES.

Prince Andrew's Arrest Across the pond in Britain, justice and accountability is a serious matter

Never in a million years did I ever fathom when I resurrected the Epstein story in 2018 that it would lead to first arrest of a British Royal in four centuries. Not since King Charles I was arrested in 1647.

Screenshot of a CNN segment shared by Acyn. A split-screen shows commentator Lydia Moynihan on the left and Kevin O’Leary on the right during a heated exchange. The chyron reads, β€œObama: Dems need to avoid scolding and β€˜virtue-signaling.’” The post quotes O’Leary referencing China and concentration camps, and McGowan responding about West Virginia.

I spent my childhood inside of American concentration camps. I know one when I see one. And that is what ICE is building.

It’s actually fine that @penamerica.bsky.social didn’t put my book on their 100 most anticipated books of 2026 but it’s disappointing that there were no science books at all on it given that they give a science writing award and we are in the middle of a science literacy crisis 😞

Brian Drew & I went to Tribeca Film Center for a screening of the doc Beam Me Up Sulu, followed by a panel with George Takei & co-directors Timour Gregory and Sasha Schneider w/moderator Phil Yu. I was inspired, entertained, and most importantly, uplifted. A great evening & a panacea for our times.

Repeat after me:
An executive order is not a royal edict; it is not law. It is a direction to the executive branch as to how to carry out the law.

Also:
Key parts of Trump's last EO on elections have been stopped by federal courts, ruling that the President has no role to play in federal elections

Quick reminder. Russia was allied with the Nazis in 1939. And Russia only won the war on their front because the US supplied them with military material through lend lease.

Russia sucks

β€˜You’re a washed-up loser lawyer’: Pam Bondi taunts Democrats over Epstein US attorney general goes on attack during questioning by House judiciary committee over handling of files

Set aside the content for a moment (saying that Jamie Raskin is a washed-up lawyer?). AG Bondi has just absolutely disgraced the Department of Justice in adopting Trump-like gross insults of those who disagree with the administration. She should be ashamed.

Please don't think anything is back to normal in Minnesota. Nothing is normal.

I know we’re strong. Don’t know if it’s enough.

If you don't live here, your Minnesota friends may tell you that it's going to be okay but I think a lot of that is them being nice so you won't worry.

It's bad here.
