Had enough #Kobo users? Want to join the resistance? Then just download the Calibri font from online-fonts.com/fonts/calibri and using your computer unzip the file and extract the *.ttf files to the fonts directory on your e-reader. #MAGA will hate you for using an easy to read typeface.

Attention all Kobe e-reader users. It had come to our attention that lots of ebooks come with woke / DEI fonts. We must use Times New Roman. Do not panic if you don't find it installed, simply download it and side load it to the Kobo fonts directory.

The Trump Administration's DHS officers appear to be carrying large weapons around downtown Chicago in camouflage and masks.

Republicans would rather shut down the government than help millions of Americans afford health care. This article tells some of their stories, and is a good reminder of what’s at stake.

Donald Trump’s mass firing of CDC doctors and scientists is a direct attack on Americans’ health and safety.
By turning the CDC into a political weapon, he’s putting ideology over science and risking lives in the process.
