Same story everywhere you look...except in Nassau County, the fiefdom of anti-Mamdani New York Democratic Party chair Jay Jacobs, whose hand-picked "Moderate Party" Dem slate was slaughtered during a blue wave everywhere else in the country. Seems worth noting by people other than a TV critic

The CDC has turned off its vaccine search tool.

The vaccines.gov site now gives an error when you enter a valid zip code.

They also removed text saying “Vaccines can help you stay healthy” and added a banner saying the site is being updated.

Use this script and then tell us how it went with our survey!

You aren’t stealing the book. They’re saying m that you are stealing their charity. And their charity is part of how they perform citizenship. The branded little free libraries are very much tied to white ideas of charity, thus they come with binaries about who deserves charity.

I once taught a whole lesson on the narratives of deservedness in the very strange concept of “stealing” books from something conspicuously branded as a “free” little library. The students struggled with it. A lot of internalized beliefs about poverty and worth. But I think it was a good lesson.
If you are concerned about people swiping books from your little free library and reselling those books, I ask you to go to your local used bookstore and sell a book

Okay?

Understand?

Alright, next question

Apple pie is bad. This is not really debatable. So is key lime pie, while we’re on the topic. Pecan pie is the 🐐 tho.

I talk about her in my Black abolitionists of NYC walking tour and usually no one has heard of her but she was Rosa Parks on the bus 100 years before that incident.
In 1855 Elizabeth Jennings Graham brought a suit that initiated the desegregation of NYC transit. Raised by politically active parents (her was mother formerly enslaved, her entrepreneur father was awarded a patent in 1821) Ms. Graham was a teacher, organist, & kindergarten founder.

White people.

The agents could have conserved most of a whole breath by saying “These are white folks.”
