A man tried to make a statement by burning 100 library books โ€” the community responded by donating over 1,000 more.

Book burners always lose in the long run.

Reason, facts, and free thought can't be silenced.

Another day of reminding everyone of Carl Saganโ€™s eerily accurate warning about the dangers of not being able to ask skeptical scientific questions to those in power or authority.

An anniversary worth marking.

I'm sure we're going to see the very people who have trashed its legacy seek to appropriate WW2 today - so let's remember what was really fought for: peace, a more united Europe, a land fit for heroes (mark 2) and the defeat of fascism.

This is from The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson aired on May 20th, 1977.

Carl Sagan says something very important, a strong message that didn't lose any validity since then.

The Justice Department quietly invoked the Alien Enemies Act last month, granting Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents the power to conduct warrantless searches of peopleโ€™s homes based solely on suspicion that they are โ€œalien enemies.โ€

A very necessary read for these times. Kind of freaked out, but remembering lesson 18... "Be calm when the unthinkable arrives." I took notes ๐Ÿซ

Trump administration opens half of National Forests to logging. An emergency order lifts protections on over half of U.S. Forest Service lands as the Trump pushes to increase timber production.

Booker: "I confess that I have been imperfect. I confess that I've been inadequate to the moment. I've confess that the Democratic Party has made terrible mistakes that gave a lane to this demagogue. I confess we all must look in the mirror and say 'we will do better.'"

Agencies informed staffers they were preparing to cut their workforces by up to half, then followed up with letters offering voluntary separation incentives. The move aimed at scaring employees into accepting the offer.

Been reading a lot about Thay and his thoughts on civil action. This feels like confirmation of some sort-- of you believe in that sort of thing.

I received a heartbreaking email today: A paper in a special issue Iโ€™m editing is being retracted because one of its authors is afraid of losing their job and their legal status in the U.S. if they publish a scientific study on evolution. Yes, on evolution, nature's engine of diversity.
