It was never just about schools, it was never just about libraries, and it isn't actually about the books.

It's about finding a way to banish entire people, entire ideas, out of society, back into the closet or worse.

The U.S. attorney for D.C. is accusing Wikipedia of “propaganda” and threatening its nonprofit status. Ed Martin is keeping Operation Whirlwind alive and well.

Musk’s staffers are now forcing federal employees at several agencies including the FAA to sign non-disclosure agreements. The goal is simple: silence the resistance through more threats and now, forced agreements. Maybe we’re not supposed to be talking about being forced to sign NDAs… oops, lol.

Oh! "at the expense of women" so basically saying f*** women's rights 🙃

wdym turning focus away from things like reproductive rights to things like being tough on crime to gather male support?? This is....just a glorified conservative shift
"Democrats are exploring ways to rebuild support among male voters... But there’s a real risk of overcorrecting—at the expense of women and their legislative priorities," writes @michaeljones.bsky.social.

I implore you, and everyone to read up on resilience targeting, per @brooklynmarie.bsky.social & others.

This is a planned attack on marginalized ppl & ultimately on the working and middle classes.

When we're economically pressured we have less capacity to track and resist the authoritarian boot.

Trump and Elon have been labeling any judge who upholds the law and the Constitution as an activist and arguing that they should be impeached. The Chief Justice of the United States rejected their calls to impeach federal judges who have aggressively pushed back on the administration’s initiatives.

Trump administration is planning to use polygraphs to assess federal employee loyalty. There are ways to manipulate polygraph results, and we will provide guidance to coalition members. Polygraph results are not admissible in court due to their potential for false positives and negatives.

Congestion pricing is working. The majority of voters want NYC to keep it.

Faster buses and more $$$ for transit 🚌👏

When was the last time Donald Trump took the subway or the bus in New York?

I’m a part time librarian and I just want to echo what I’ve seen other librarians say recently: there is a HUGE uptick in requests for social justice, climate justice, abolition, history, etc books and I just want to say nobody is giving up the fight. If anything people are fighting harder #library

I wonder how people in Germany felt when Hitler started really taking control. Did they, too, wish to leave, but were too scared of their country's military power to truly make the move? Fearing the haven they'd escape to would be destroyed, and all would be for naught?

Here are the options on the table (which are not mutually exclusive):

1. House Dems bring articles of impeachment*

2. Senate Dems play constitutional hardball and obstruct everything

3. State AGs litigate (and prosecute) everything they can

4. Citizens march en mass

Some last kind words of the day. Not necessarily something that may make you FEEL better, but it may give some comfort if you needed to hear it :)

Fair warning: It may be a bit heavy, so if you can't handle anything else particularly heavy today, don't push yourself! Rest up, be kind to yourself :)
