Amy Klobuchar's got jokes, folks:
Klobuchar: What is the difference between Greenland and Donald Trump? Greenland is not for sale.
*boo*
Klobuchar: Ok. For any Republican Trump Administration person who wants to throw eggs at me because of that joke. You can’t because they’re too expensive.

Rating: ★★★★★
Book: 6/75
Just finished The Reformatory by Tananarive Due, and this one hit hard. It’s a chilling blend of historical horror and real life injustice, following a young Black boy sent to a brutal reform school in 1950s Florida. #BlackBookSky 🧵 1/2

The United States Military Academy has just eliminated all Cadet clubs and activities for POC. Most of these have existed for decades like the Society of Black Engineers. They were there when I was a Cadet in 1987. All of the religious ones remain. This isn’t DEI. It’s white Christian Nationalism.

Dorothy B. Porter changed libraries 💜
The Dewey Decimal System used to only have two classifications for Black people: 325 (colonization) & 326 (slavery). Each book by a Black person was put into one of these classifications. A book of poetry? Classified as colonization.

A witch hunt has begun at the FBI. Employees are required to provide information by Tuesday and are being encouraged to report on their coworkers. The FBI questionnaire asks agents about their roles in various cases, including whether they made arrests or appeared in court, among other details.
