President Trump's executive order to eliminate the Institute of Museum & Library Services would have disastrous effects for communities nationwide. We call on all Americans who value reading & learning to reach out to their elected leaders.

There’s a narrative that folks criticizing the White House hate America. We’re not falling for that.
Dissent is baked into the United States. Democracy is messy. And loving a place means fixing what’s broken and saving what’s precious.

Heidi Stevens: Criticizing the White House is not hating America. Quite the opposite, in fact
America has done so much good, and it has also done tremendous harm. Acknowledging both isn’t an affront. It’s accurate.

The average Fox News viewer has no idea that Musk is tearing down a system that allowed this country to rule the world for the past 75 years. And when their standard of living slips dramatically in the next five years they still won’t understand because their TV will blame it on some poor scapegoat.

What’s even more uncanny: Octavia Butler lived — and is buried — in Altadena, the location most devastated by the Eaton fire.
Cannot stop thinking about how Octavia Butler wrote a book in 1993 about climate change. It opens with deadly fires in LA in 2025. In the story, a fascist President has just won office with the campaign slogan "Make America Great Again."
