Thank you for this. In "Book and Dagger," now in paperback, historian Elyse Grahm writes the largely untold but riveting story of how scholars, librarians, and "oddball archivists" were mobilized to defeat fascism in WWII: "The war may have been fought on battlefields, but it was won in libraries."

I live in a tiny urban neighborhood walking distance from the shoe. It’s a full out cult imho.

Like a stubborn bloom
Living in cracks of concrete
You cannot kill hope.

Hey so β€œunderage girls” are…children. The word you’re looking for is children. They’re not like, women-in-waiting or women-lite or whatever. They’re children. I think some of you are very uncomfortable with what that means for you but it is still true.

By all rights I should be eating popcorn and streaming CNN right around now. Instead I just outlined a new project and made a huge dent in the memoir project. Let me know when y’all catch up on exactly how evil folks turn out to be. I’ve been telling y’all since 1999ish.

An exchange on twitter.

If you hate Al you probably just hate art and expression

It's an infinite mashup of all the best art ever made by humans

If you hate the juice at the bottom of a restaurant dumpster you just hate food and cooking.

Destruction of federal property is a federal crime.

Shame on the Supreme Court for giving this man the tools to dismantle what we have built.

The status of disability rights in Ohio The American with Disabilities Act required equal opportunity in hiring, access to public places like restaurants and hotels, and promised an end to discrimination.

Anyone at any time can become disabled. At DPS, we're investing in accessibility for all to ensure that our neighbors, now and for future generations, can move freely throughout our community.

Listen to WOSU All Sides report on disability rights in Ohio:

Also, pro tip: managers, don’t threaten your employees with time theft because they didn’t clock out before having their panic attack. It will only make things worse 100% of the time.

Yesterday I learned that my weird little family shows up and piles on when one of their own is in a bad place. It was beautiful and I kind of pity the person in authority that had to handle us.

Student comes into a diversity of gender lecture yelling that they’re all degenerates and throwing the HH salute around then this happens.

The best part? No one lays a hand on him except to make sure he doesn’t hurt anyone. He’s pepper sprayed & surrounded & no one so much as takes a swing at him.

This is both shocking and a long time coming. As I reported for @nymag.com, the ADL made few friends in the Trump administration, despite its many, many attempts to please MAGA. nymag.com/intelligence...

NEW:

Colombian President Petro has called for the International Criminal Court in The Hague to make a CRIMINAL investigation into Trump, for all his crimes in the seas of the Caribbean, and beyond globally.

I'm an American veteran, and I support this unequivocally.
