Because of you, we raised over $55,000 in support of public libraries during National Library Week 💓 (At least one of our team members cried seeing that number. Okay, fine, it was me.)

Thank you SO MUCH to everyone who donated, shared, or showed support for their library in other ways.

They Criticized Musk on X. Then Their Reach Collapsed. Three users who disagreed with the site’s owner saw views for their posts plummet.

Three users on X who feuded with Elon Musk in December saw their reach on the social platform practically vanish overnight, The New York Times found, signaling that Musk or others at the company have the power to punish critics and that they may be willing to use it.

Tesla Profit Sinks, Hurt by Political Backlash The electric-vehicle maker is struggling with a reputational hit from CEO Elon Musk’s polarizing role in the Trump administration.

"A survey of more than 500 political scientists finds that the vast majority think the United States is moving swiftly from liberal democracy toward some form of authoritarianism." www.npr.org/2025/04/22/n...

"Fuck you, make me."

The Dallas ICE office is involved in a mass removal effort targeting nearly 200 people — many without removal orders — scheduled to be deported to El Salvador today.

This is not just cruel – it is lawless. I refuse to stay quiet while families are being torn apart, and lives are being put at risk.

With Harvard Threat, Trump Tries to Bend the I.R.S. to His Will Since the post-Nixon era, the Internal Revenue Service has had a degree of independence from the White House. President Trump is seeking to change that.

"Transforming the I.R.S. and its tens of thousands of employees into political enforcers for the president — a doomsday scenario long feared by conservatives — would shake a foundation of American civic life..."

Remember, the Trump Adminstration made it a humanitarian priority to bring back Andrew Tate from Romania.

WorldPride organizers caution international trans community about coming to U.S. WorldPride in Washington, D.C., begins next month, and organizers have concerns about the Trump administration policies targeting transgender people.

The organizers of WorldPride in Washington, D.C., may issue a warning to transgender people from other countries about traveling to the capital for the event as the Trump administration targets the trans community with policies.

Rand Paul is a dark tetrad traitor who takes his orders from Moscow, but he still wants to stay in office. What he's saying here is correct.

Rand Paul is speaking out against Trump’s tariffs, and a few Republicans are also finally crawling out of hiding. Rubio, Cruz, and others once criticized tariffs. They know better than to do this to Americans. Republicans are cowards who chose fear and loyalty to a convicted felon over principle.

“To lose one IRS director, Mr. Trump, may be regarded as a misfortune; to lose two looks like carelessness. Three can only be considered incompetence.”

We're suing Trump to save library funding. Show up for our libraries, American Library Association.

NEW: ALA is going to court to stop the President’s attempts to illegally dismantle the Institute of Museum & Library Services.

Hats off to the very strong #HandsOff signage yesterday!

Thanks for making your voices heard. 🙏

Yesterday, we sent a historically big message to Trump, Musk, and the GOP — and we also sent a signal to all those who agree with us but have spent the last few months feeling shaken, hopeless, and afraid. #handsoff

WE WON The corporate media got it wrong--again.

Last week proved the corporate media wrong—about everything.

Trump administration deports gay makeup artist to prison in El Salvador A gay man with no known criminal record sought asylum in the U.S. He's since become one of 238 Venezuelan migrants deported to a notorious prison in El Salvador by the Trump administration.

60 Minutes could find no criminal records for 75% of the Venezuelans the U.S. sent to a notorious mega-prison in El Salvador. https://cbsn.ws/4clubLP

In just two months, DOGE has —lost— the government an estimated half a trillion dollars. I propose that Musk pay it back personally.
