I hope that, at some point in the future after release, the eBook Overdrive price will go on a sale. It's a bit pricey for a public library budget. And there is already demand requests for your book. My system is adding physical copies, so that will be available to patrons.

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.

Maryland health officials warn providers about an upsurge in mumps cases Maryland health officials are warning about an uptick in cases of mumps.

Measles is a bellwether. Because it’s the most contagious vaccine-preventable disease, when vaccination rates drop, it’s the first to start spreading.

Now we’ve got mumps rolling up.

Expect more.

This is just the beginning of RFK Jr.’s successful infectious disease reintroduction plan.

1/ ProPublica collected handwritten letters in mid-January from children held at the Dilley Immigration Processing Center, the same facility where 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos was taken.

Hundreds of kids are still detained.

We’ll let the children’s words speak for themselves. 🧡

Members of Congress who seek to review unreleased Epstein files at Justice Dept's office must do so at 1 of 4 computer terminals, with pencils to take notes

Rep. Jared Moskowitz (D-FL) tells CBS News: "They're not organized. There's no way to go through them. It's just a huge data dump"

we are 11 years into the cycle of

- trump makes loud unambiguous announcement
- media regurgitates announcement
- turns out none of it is true
- media, trump have already moved on to restart the cycle

Maria Santay, a U.S. citizen and community observer, live-streamed masked ICE agents detaining her after they boxed in her car from all sides and smashed her window. Local police showed up and did nothing.

She was denied access to a restroom, and forced to pee in the parking lot while handcuffed.

The backyard is a complete sheet of ice and my little dog (miniature poodle -- not built for this mess) insists on wandering through the whole yard. Me: yelling from the backdoor for him to come back. My dog: enacting one of Billy's wandering scenes from Family Circus.

I should add that, even if you don't have an answer and must put "N/A" on the form, make sure EVERYTHING is filled out. Any blank lines will slow the process. The Dept of State employees are doing a LOT of passport applications and will put "questions" aside to deal with at the end of the bulk pile

How long ago did it expire? There is a window that allows for renewals with the DS-82 instead of resubmitting the DS-11 and making an appointment with a passport agent.

Collins' constituents aren't calling/emailing/contacting her office with opposition to ICE.

If the elected official feel that their position is safe, they will do whatever they want.

Red states elected need to hear from their constituents who are against ICE. If it isn't overwhelming, then nothing

It's difficult for book stores and libraries to sus such stuff out. The distributors don't, necessarily, make it easier. Knowing and purchasing from established publishers is easier, safe. As library budgets are restricted, decisions are made with great care on circulation outcomes.

It's likely a print on demand title. I didn't look it up to check out the publisher information, however, I assume that it's one of such companies.

It's the responsibility of his staff to keep him abreast of what is going on, what his constituents want and are demanding. So, either Suozzi ignored the work his employees are doing or he willfully made an informed decision that he now regrets.

Yeah, that would be one of the "sadder" ones in terms of upkeep. Anything on the Strip itself is suspect overall. They are very quickly "worn out."
