I want to have a Little Free Library for Banned Books.

My vision is to make it look like a prison cell - but I’m not particularly crafty. Does anyone here have ideas for the design?

Probably two shelves of kids books and one of adult books.

All ideas welcome.

Only one thing could top the honor of speaking at the No Kings rally, and that's the honor of speaking at No Kings 2. See you October 18th!

The museums are being shutdown.
Are we great yet?
Everyone’s being fired.
Are we great yet?
Food is rotting in our fields.
Are we great yet?
The market’s crashing greatly.
Diseases are now running rampant.
At what point aren’t we great?
Our military’s in line at food banks.
So super great.

What is your desired solution?

Democrats come closer than conservatives, but we are talking about about to the left of the current democratic party.

221 @brianlbaker.bsky.social · 12h

No. Liberals want democratic socialism, not the excesses of capitalism.

221 @brianlbaker.bsky.social · 12h

You are describing capitalist conservatives not liberals.

Weird… my psychic ability at play was just telling daughter the nation will come to a stand still when the first polio victim is announced… blame RFK. No my phone was not with me.. but this showed up on TikTok when I returned…. 😁

Our job is not to throw 15 million people off health care and double insurance premiums for more than 20 million.

Our job is not to shutter community health centers, nursing homes and rural hospitals.

Our job is to fix a broken system and guarantee health care to all.

Illinois law requires all registered vehicles to display front and back license plates, without exception. But to evade accountability, masked federal immigration agents are driving around in unmarked cars without plates.

Federal immigration officers wear masks, no name tags — now some drive cars without license plates

The Sun-Times has documented four unmarked cars carrying federal officers without required plates, offering another way to shield their identities. Federal officials say they’re meeting regulations.

The government accused of backing the 9/11 terrorists who killed around 3 thousand people on U. S. soil, are now going to build a Qatari Air Force base on U. S. soil. It will also house Qatari soldiers.

Shouldn’t this be alarming?
What could go wrong?

I completely support a Democratic Socialist future for America. It’s a close as I can imagine to an equitable society.

It's wild that we've reached a point where the President openly admits to firing people for political reasons, and his OMB director tweets about it like it's a victory. This is page one of the authoritarian playbook, happening in plain sight.

There are reports that the *entire* office of special education at the US Dept of Education has been cut. These hardworking folks ensure kids with disabilities get equal access to a quality education.

America’s children deserve better than this.

Is it just me, or does it seem the press is actually and completely terrified to report about Donald Trump's physical and mental health the way it would have if anyone else were president?
