Hi new (apparently mostly Colorado) people! I am a librarian/archivist at a private university here, I am from Kansas (6 gens back on my mom's side), and I am an abolitionist, believer in harm reduction, and the need to protect public goods and services, including but not limited to libraries.
thank god I have a graduate degree so I can come up with fun names for our annual surprise departmental mouse, such as 'Algernon.'

The perfect demonstration of the fallacy that “international students take seats from US students.” Nope, international students’ tuition subsidizes domestic students

Thanks for asking. And no one who denies and attacks science can lead science. So no, and I hope the story isn't the whitewash this pitch makes it sound like.

Today, after months of requests, I toured the Broadview ICE Processing Facility. I want to share what I saw.
The facility has no food vendor, no medical care, and detainees have to use toilets in the middle of shared cells. These are in no way suitable conditions to be holding anyone — period.

There are more people organizing and pushing back against the regime today than there were in the first term. There are more people in more places (rural towns and big cities across the country). I think it's really strange how resistant some people are to these facts. I wonder what's going on.

I forgot to mention that Lessie Beningfield Randle, better known as Mother Randle celebrated her 111th birthday 4 days ago.
One of the last two survivors of the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre.
Both Mother Randle and Mother Fletcher are 111 now.
And still without justice.
Happy birthday Mother Randle

Don’t do this, you guys. The enormous pile of dead bodies, and small but still massive of dead careers, would point to the opposite being true: DOGE was a massive financial and political boon to Elon Musk and it paid off marvelously for him at horrendous cost.
DOGE is one of the greatest failures of the Trump administration. The next Democratic administration should pick up that issue and actually work to cut government waste, fraud, and abuse. I’d suggest starting by taking a look at Elon Musk’s government contracts.

Not celebrating it and just viewing it as a free 5 day vacay
Actually in the spirit of this conversation, what’s a decision you made about a past Thanksgiving holiday that really paid off? I think people often feel trapped by their lives. Sharing our experiences can liberate us from that sense of claustrophobia.
On the most recent episode of VIBE CHECK, we answer listener questions about Thanksgiving, most importantly “do you go celebrate with the family members you don’t even like?”

Trump officials, including the head of OPM, are saying DOGE no longer exists. DOGE as influential entity seems to be done, but some DOGErs are in the National Design Studio and some burrowed into agencies e.g. Big Balls is at Social Security.

Exclusive: DOGE 'doesn't exist' with eight months left on its charter
The Department of Government Efficiency claimed to have slashed tens of billions of dollars in expenditures, but it was impossible for outside financial experts to verify that because the unit did not provide detailed public accounting of its work.
