🚨🚨 The Senate is **about to VOTE** on the largest cut to the social safety net in US history, explode our deficit, create an energy crisis, and ramp up masked kidnappings... all to transfer an unprecedented amount wealth from the poor to the rich.

is this bad
Iowa: Sen. Ernst Maine: Sen. Collins Missouri: Sen. Hawley North Carolina: Sen. Tillis Ohio: Sen. Husted Utah: Sen. Curtis West Virginia: Sen. Capito
If one of these people is your senator, it is incredibly important that you call them today.
Urge them to vote NO on the Senate budget bill that would make most Americans poorer to give billionaires a tax cut they don't even need.
In Philadelphia alone, a crowd of over 100,000 hit the streets despite the rain.

🚨PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT🚨
It's hard to explain to people outside this fight that Texas is currently trying to ban kids from using public libraries... but they are; it's passed out of committee, and it's going to a floor vote.
🚨If you know ANYONE in Texas it's time for them to call their reps and demand NO ON HB3225🚨
"It is nowhere near the end, we do not yet even know how it will end, and there will be many more disturbing developments before it does, but Thursday was a day for seeing why standing up matters — and can make a difference."
Can we stop calling these atrocities "deportations." These people sold to El Salvadorian prisons were not deported. Deportation is a process that did not take place. They were rounded up and removed with no process. They were kidnapped, not deported.
Yeah, man. 😐

I was led to believe by R.E.M. that I would feel a lot better about this.
First of all, Donald Trump is not president right now. He's a private citizen. He does not have access to presidential powers. He does not have the ability to do any of that. Please understand that TikTok's decision to name Trump in the notification is a choice. They are signaling that they have agreed to privately collaborate with Donald Trump and the Trump administration. For all of those concerns that people were saying that TikTok is gonna be used as a propaganda tool by the Chinese, understand they're using it as a propaganda tool for the right. Now, I want you all to put all the pieces together because what this effectively means is that every mass social media platform in the United States has been taken over by the right wing, with the exception of Blue Sky (but Blue Sky is still very small, relatively).

This is the GOP’s long con on full display.
Feeling embarrassment and disgust doesn’t even come close.
Hey, Denver’s getting a romance only bookstore!
spicylibrarian.com is opening in RiNo later this January.
Thinking a lot about Jimmy Carter, born a white, rural man in 1924 in a strictly apartheid Georgia and how he became a champion for racial justice and human rights, demonstrating once again that racism, xenophobia, crass and selfish individualism, are always a choice.
He is peak competence porn .
“Shocking!” said no one, ever.

People are asking how to get my letters without using Facebook. They are here, for free. I also record a podcast of me (not AI) reading them that is available by separate email at Substack (also free) and is on all the usual platforms as well. heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/p/january-6-...
They want us to memory hole tearing down the American flag to fly Trump’s.

"What trillion-dollar problem is AI trying to solve?"
Wages. They're trying to use it to solve having to pay wages.
This is a great new years’ resolution for those of you who don’t already have a library card! And if you read e-books only, it will give you access to Libby and/or Hoopla, which are both great!
