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.

Gender-affirming care saves lives

Page One in Cincinnati:

“.. I need to be able to look my grandkids in the eye and say I did not remain silent.”

A purple flower stretches upward, growing from a crack in the sidewalk concrete

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

Hey so “underage 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.

I’m way past caring about validation. I’ll be over here making the art, thanks.

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. controlla.xyz: 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 lesliejandersonwriter: If you hate the juice at the bottom of a restaurant dumpster you just hate food and cooking. It's an infinite mashup of all the best food made by humans!

I love this.

This is the life I’ve always wanted.

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.

Doubling down on this tonight.

If you’re out at a #NoKings rally today, stay safe, stay smart, and wear a mask! I love you!

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:

Have to take my son shopping to buy him some job interview clothes. Ohio State football game getting ready to start.

This is how you properly Columbus, folks.

One of my favorites too, babe 💜 hope it’s an awesome day!

Also, I am very proud of myself for not needing bail money.

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.

Your Prime Day reminder that Amazon...

-Provides cloud services that help fuel ICE's deportation machine

-Shelled out $40M for a documentary about Melania Trump

“The survivors correctly understand that the Epstein-Maxwell ordeal must be viewed through a massive reframing of our legal system’s devastating collective failures when it comes to them: This is not a whodunit so much as a What kind of society are we?”

I miss Mike Wallace so much.

Good things are coming. 💜

*diversity of sexuality psych 210

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...

As a mom and teacher this absolutely breaks me. 💔

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.
