Hey, as a librarian I need to tell you:

Our funding depends on usage.

So go ahead and check out that book even if you don't think you'll finish it. No one will know. Check out that DVD even though you might not like it. Get ambitious in your quest for knowledge.

Seeing a job you were perfectly qualified for, applied to, and screened for posted again really makes it feel like the hiring process is less about your skills and qualifications and more about hitting the right keywords.

A leading Israeli news site quotes Netanyahu telling his top general, 2 days after Oct 7, to ‘take down houses, bomb with everything you have.’

An admission of war crimes from the horse’s mouth. Let’s see how the hasbarists try spin this.

Tonight an unbelievable **34,000 people** gathered for our Denver rally to take on billionaires and win our country back.

This was the largest political gathering in Denver since Obama in 2008.

Also bigger than the 2024 DNC.

And the largest ever rally in Bernie’s career (and obviously, mine too).

durbin going for this has got to result in a primary challenge right?
We now have a NO from Klobuchar and a YES from Cortez Masto.

Schumer needs four of the remaining eight:

Schatz
King
Peters
Hirono
Shaheen
Hassan
Gillibrand
Durbin

Durbin, Gillibrand, Shaheen, and Peters seem most likely.
We’re down to ten:

Schatz
King
Peters
Hirono
Cortez-Masto
Klobuchar
Shaheen
Hassan
Gillibrand
Durbin

Schumer needs (or currently has) five of them.

Rollover and play dead wins. I'm honestly really sorry everyone. This is a bad, depressing outcome. We tried our best, and we didn't succeed. We're circling up with Indivisible group leaders over the next day to plan for what accountability will look like. Stay tuned.
The final tally to advance the CR is 62-38.

The Democrats who voted for cloture, giving Donald Trump everything he wants:

Cortez Masto (NV)
Durbin (IL)
Fetterman (PA)
Gillibrand (NY)
Hassan (NH)
Peters (MI)
Schatz (HI)
Schumer (NY)
Shaheen (NH)

I know there are endless five alarm fires, but the NLRB accepting being sued out of existence by Elon Musk is atrocious.
Last year Elon Musk and SpaceX claimed the NLRB is unconstitutional after being accused of labor violations.

Now under Trump, the NLRB is dropping its opposition to this claim.

The labor board will no longer fight in court against the charges that it shouldn't exist.

40 years ago, there was no such thing as mandatory detention and even immigrants who committed serious crimes were given a chance to prove they had reformed and shouldn’t be deported. We’re coming up to a world where if an immigrant looks at a cop the wrong way they’ll be deported on the spot.
Senate greases wheels for passage of Laken Riley Act. I believe if that happens it will be seen in retrospect as the ‘96 Clinton bills are: an unnecessary capitulation that fixed nothing and won no cooperation from the GOP but set the stage for a less humane and counterproductive era of immigration

Sucks that the numbers are low because this book is imo pretty essential reasoning, at least for folks like me who’ve clung to the belief that radical Christian fundamentalism and nationalism is a niche cult, rather than tens of millions of Americans. Highly recommend.
just a reminder that despite somewhat dismal sales numbers, people who've read my book said they found it important and clarifying, and emotionally resonant, and thoughtful, and well-written. and i hope you'll consider buying it as we move into the era it describes:

So farewell, Jimmy Carter, your post-presidency was the most effective of the last 70 years. It almost makes up for you creating the Taliban, the Khmer Rouge, destroying America’s unions, passing the Hyde Amendment into law and otherwise weakening abortion rights, and a slew of other right wing crap

FYI: this account is a "news" publication that amplifies racist narratives about urban crime. Their fans on the other app include neo-Nazis and other right-wing provocateurs. CPD has long provided them reports and materials in advance of other media to bolster their own copaganda.
