Book bans get headlines, but the bigger threat to books is hiding in plain sight: A handful of companies control how ebooks reach readers, and they can cut off access with a click.

There's a bigger threat to books than bans.
Access to e-books relies entirely on private distributors that have the power to shut them off at any moment.

As Trump attacks unions and occupies our city, we’re called to remember how we got here.
Labor Day would not exist without the workers who fought and died at the Haymarket Massacre and the Pullman Strike in Chicago.
It’s not a coincidence he’s targeting Chicago:

In regards to hot dog sentience, the bun acts as the exoskeleton with the consciousness in the meat itself. It's the pairing of the two that creates the complete sentient hot dog. This was the first thing they taught us at America orientation. Not sure how so many of you missed that.

just a reminder that only water goes in your eyes, don’t wear contacts to a protest if you can help it, hot showers will hurt like hell if you have mace or gas residue on your skin. turn off face ID on your phone. pick a buddy & never leave their side. if detained, ask for a lawyer & then shut up.

Today on Yom HaShoah and Armenian Genocide Remembrance Day, it’s important to remember that genocide isn’t an abstract concept. It’s something that happens before our eyes.
