UPDATE:

BAD NEWS - we won't be opening tomorrow. I've been pulling overnights all week, but the place is still a MESS.

GOOD NEWS - we ARE open on Sunday! I won't have *all* the updates I wanted complete, so this will be a soft open. We WILL open Thursday-Sunday of *next* week.

Hope to see you!

More and more, Trump is making US institutions behave like Putin’s Russian versions. This was an immediate military coverup of something that should have been admitted:

More and more rot.

Dozens of victims of Jeffrey Epstein have filed a lawsuit against former Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi, accusing her of helping conceal key details during the early handling of the Epstein investigation

BOTH of my senators are on this list. They're shamelessly trying to secure their own $$$ before leaving office. Slotkin wants another position in gov't and Peters has just plain sold out.

Michiganders, never forget ALLLLL the help these two keep giving this hellministration.

"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed."

Invest in MI Kids Putting kids first. Building a stronger Michigan for everyone.

Michigan has a measure on the ballot called "Invest in MI Kids." This would put a 5% tax on the top 1% earners in Michigan - taxing the rich. This will give Michigan schools the funds needed to cover budget deficits resulting from federal education cuts. investinmikids.org

I just went to my first DSA event in Metro Detroit, and I'm definitely going to sign up and come back. You probably already saw this, but I saw that there's going to be a DSA 101 in North Georgia next week:

Reminder that Stein does not simply have a history of boosting Russian talking points, but she also dined at the same table as Putin in 2015 in Moscow.

Her continued push of disinformation around this unfolding conflict (even after being corrected) should not be dismissed as a simple error (1)

Key Details of 13-Year-Old Trump Accuser’s Accounts Are Verified The newly corroborated details suggest the woman was truthful about numerous aspects of her life.

There is apparently credible evidence that the president of the United States is a pedophile. The comforting phrase “accused him without evidence” no longer fits this situation, and journalists must resort to the more perfunctory “hasn’t been formally charged.” www.thedailybeast.com/key-details-...

Trump: It's a small price (for you) to pay.

Taxpayer dollars flood pregnancy centers. Oversight hasn't followed. • Michigan Advance Editor’s note: This is the first report in an ongoing series. The patient came in with a belly full of blood, Dr. Leilah Zahedi-Spung recalled. Her pregnancy was ectopic, no longer viable, and could h...

Crisis pregnancy centers, which discourage women from seeking abortion and contraception, have been the beneficiary of at least a half-billion dollars since the U.S. Supreme Court ended federal abortion protections in June 2022, a @statesnewsroom.com investigation found.

Twenty percent of ppl with measles will end up hospitalized. And we have no treatment for it.

Get vaccinated if you're able. Make sure you've got some immunity if your doctor will run your titers. If you're unsure if you were vaccinated, or have an older vaxx consider getting a booster.

noem's dog looking down from heaven

This isn't 'soaking' the super-rich! It's not even leaving them damp. The top 900 billionaires could easily afford this and not feel it at all

It is so damning of US news media that so many outlets refuse to just straight up say that Senator Tim Sheehy assaulted an activist.

He did not "help" Capitol police. They did not need his help. He wanted to assault the guy and did. He should resign.

Well would you look at that

Or maybe Atlanta? Atlanta has Cobb, Dekalb, and Intown branches as well. atldsa.org

Thank you for making this; this artwork is amazing and powerful

As Rep. Jayapal says, our reporting has found that these aren’t isolated incidents. Last October, we tallied more than 170 cases of U.S. citizens detained by immigration agents.

Here’s that investigation she’s referring to:

Update!

My energy level isn't quite up to building shelves so today was mostly about cleaning books and deep cleaning some of our existing shelves. Pictured is our DIY/Tech/Computer/Math section, newly cleaned & (mostly) restocked.
