8 Badass Librarians We Need to Celebrate This International Womenโ€™s Day In the late Victorian era, Melvil Dewey, inventor of the Dewey Decimal system (and a womanizer) argued that women make excellent librarians because we have โ€œa clear head, strong handโ€ฆ and great heaโ€ฆ

Have met and been influenced by two of these badasses IRL! Perpetual gratitude to @sassylibrarian.bsky.social @edrabinski.bsky.social

I am your constituent, Rep Bonnie. Why is the House not writing articles of #impeachment today for this illegal kidnapping AND for not releasing the Epstein files as required by law? Regardless of the GOP, the people must be informed about what he and the DOJ are doing in our name

WHERE ARE THE PEOPLE!?

Where is Congress? Where are they?

I want to film this for my kids & my grandkids. I want them to see the day democracy died in Washington, D.C.

Even George is upset ๐Ÿฆฎ
& we should all be shocked!
No one is here to say this is wrong!

โ€œSilence in the face of authoritarianism is complicity. Speaking out is a patriotic act. Democracy doesnโ€™t defend itself. It requires participation, vigilance, and courage from ordinary people.โ€ โ€“ Rob Reiner

Manhattan Home Depot turned into a protest zoneโ€”inside and out. Activists buy and return ice scrapers in a peaceful but brilliant jam of business operations. Creative disruption with a message: get ICE out. This is what smart, sustained pressure looks like.
