Fear has a way of being contagious.

But courage is also contagious.

Everything got so stupid so quickly.

Nice to see Donald getting some sleep while President Musk tells his cabinet what to do.

Your friendly neighborhood librarian here...buy physical copies of your favorite books, especially challenged or banned books. Preferably from small local merchants. That's all; carry on. #Read #BookSky #Resist πŸ“š

The devastating impact for women and girls if the Department of Education shuts down Eliminating the U.S. Department of Education isn’t actually a cost-cutting move; it’s an economic attack that will hurt girls the most and send ripple effects through every household in America.

The Trump administration has placed two top security chiefs at the U.S. Agency for International Development on leave after they resisted turning over classified material in restricted areas to Elon Musk’s staffers. America, please stand with usβ€”we are fighting to defend this country!

Comms Advice for Democratic Lawmakers You didn't ask, but I'm offering it anyway.

"We know you’re out of power. We understand you’re in the minority. We hear that, loud and clear. What we’re not hearing is your anger. We’re not hearing your outrage. We’re wondering whether or not you actually hear us."

A bird's-eye view of a former Auschwitz II-Birkenau camp showing a wide dirt pathway flanked by parallel rows of barbed-wire fences. Groups of visitors walk along the path, surrounded by the remnants of brick structures and barracks, now reduced to foundations. Green grass contrasts with the somber history of the site, as the path leads toward a guard tower in the distance.

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers.

This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder.

Auschwitz took time.

At least some of the world's press calls it like it is.

I didn't have Vance, but somehow, I unfollowed Harris and started following Trump, Melania, and the White House. Yeah, no. Fixed that.

I miss the days of youth when I could go to bed and wake up without some mysterious back or neck injury from "sleeping wrong."

this choice of photos by the Carter Center is shadier than a Georgia peach tree in summer

Read books, watch movies, listen to music, go to concerts and plays and lift up those artists who are doing the things that make you happy, because it will help, then, make other people happy too, and fill the internet with things other than just that guy and what he’s doing

More than almost anything else, I will miss having a President who is capable of compassion, decency and empathy in times of crisis.

I would love to see a bunch of musical artists and celebrities put on a nationally televised tribute concert for Pres. Jimmy Carter on inauguration day with all proceeds going to Habitat for Humanity.

we need poetry because at a low point in my teens I came across the line β€œlet the day be time enough to mourn / the shipwreck of my ill-adventur’d youth” in an old poem, and just the knowledge that someone else felt lost and adrift as a young person helped save me.

Just a reminder that your local library has more than books! Many also have dvds, cds, video games, game systems, internet hot spots, streaming services, ebooks, audio books, park passes, museum passes, and so much more! Maybe it's time for a visit! β€οΈπŸ“š
