Some Tennessee Libraries Shut Down For โ€œEmergency Closureโ€ Over Transgender Books It is unclear how many other libraries have or may need to temporarily shut their doors in order to cull their childrenโ€™s sections for gender-subversive content.

1. Going to the Library in Smyrna or Murfreesboro, TN?

You might be greeted by an EMERGENCY CLOSURE sign.

Apparently they have detected the presence of "transgender books" and are quarantining them as if they were a dangerous plague.

The latest from S. Baum.

Trump accepting a pretend peace award, reminds me of when my sons were learning to use the bathroom, I put stickers on the calendar when they hit the target! They were so proud, once coming out of a public restroom, my young son announced to the crowd waiting, โ€œI did it, I did it all by myselfโ€ฆโ€

@lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com my favorite evening program -for the first time ever I canโ€™t watch anymore today! Itโ€™s good to understand the history of the Senate rules, but all weโ€™ve done here is give in to a toddler tantrum; all Trump will learn is every time he wants somethingโ€ฆhave another tantrum!

They only like immigrants they can profit from. Everything is about enriching themselves and their family and friends.

All the culture war issues are to keep us distracted and divided as the oligarchy sucks up more and more and more money.

Epstein Alleged in Emails That Trump Knew of His Conduct

Epstein wrote in emails, at least one back in 2011 when there would have been little incentive to lie, that Trump knew about what he was doing with girls www.nytimes.com/2025/11/12/u...

No matter what the idiot says, they are still going by their names before his present statements:
Department of Defense; Veterans Day and any other department that he wants to change will not be remembered by his new names.
He is not an honorable person since he never served in the military!

I really like Bernie Sandersโ€™ elder statesman era.

Unlike too many older politicians who cling to power and perpetuate an outdated political culture, Bernie is actively mentoring the next generation of progressive leaders before he retires.

Itโ€™s how it should be.
And itโ€™s working.

WATCH โ€” @repstevenhorsford.bsky.social : โ€œMy amendment would redirect that $40 BILLION from Argentina to fund the ACA subsidies for two yearsโ€ฆ a far better use of taxpayer dollars.โ€

Why do we have money for Argentina while our own people lose their health care? How does this make us great?

REPUBLICAN Rep. @repchiproy is rightly APPALLED that hagerty & @marshablackburn and others snuck a provision to let senators sue taxpayers for $500,000 MINIMUM for being investigated as part of Trumpโ€™s insurrection into the government funding bill.

Insane corruption.

Cue the rebellion The Democratic base is enraged at their party's capitulation โ€” and that's a good thing.

"It may not be much comfort for those bitter about what they see as a needless surrender. But thereโ€™s at least a chance that weโ€™ll look back at this moment as a key turning point, one that produced a Democratic Party less willing to live on its knees." โ€” @paulwaldman.bsky.social

Special thanks to @governor.ca.gov and those seeking to accelerate the safe and appropriate use of psychedelics as a modality to help those with treatment resistant conditions.

BIG NEWS: Congresswoman-elect Adelita Grijalva will finally be sworn in as a member of Congress tomorrow.

She is likely to be the 218th vote on the Epstein discharge petition, which would force a full vote to release the Epstein files in their entirety.
