Trump is planning a military parade in DC on June 14, but the biggest story of that day will be the actions we take everywhere else. I'm rallying on No Kings Day to reject strongman politics and corruption. app.sosha.ai/s/YaG1pPWj

The Library of Congress is a research library.

The Congressional Research Service researches for Congress.

Scholars & researchers apply for passes to research.

NO children’s section.

Even the general public has very limited access.
Reporter: The president fired the Librarian of Congress. Why? 

Leavitt: There were quite concerning things she had done at the Library of Congress in the pursuit of DEI and putting inappropriate books in the library for children.

“Here’s what that means?”

It means they’re aspiring to be a full blown dictatorship. Stop treating these lawless ambitions as some kind of intellectual puzzle.

Every book published in the United States is sent to the Library of Congress. Also, if you are under 16 you cannot use the reading room or order books.

Honestly, anyone who badmouths one of these firefighters seriously needs to reexamine their own priorities in life and ask why building contractors have been lobbying against home fire sprinklers and safer zoning for decades.
Jessica: The fire chief has been called a DEI hire. I would take her resume any day, 24 year vet, paramedic, engineer, fire inspector, captain, battalion chief, fire marshal, deputy chief.

When Sydney Jones arrived at Baptist Memorial Hospital-DeSoto during a mental health crisis, her family assumed she would soon receive treatment.

Instead, the hospital sent her to jail, though she was charged with no crime.

Justice Neil Gorsuch Recuses From Case That Could Benefit Colorado Billionaire

The justice had been under pressure to step aside from the matter because of his myriad ties to Philip Anschutz, an oil and gas magnate.

It’s super scary to go into meetings with department heads specifically to discuss their records management process, only to have them tell you “we don’t keep records”

Beautiful weather this weekend up in Woodstock, VT. The local farmers have been hit hard by all of the flooding from rain this year (damaging crops and hay for their animals). If you have a chance, be sure to visit and support your local farms!

I regularly recommend this approach to researchers and will often go out of my way to find an author’s contact information for them for exactly this reason.
When you see a peer-reviewed scientific journal article, it often says “pay $35 to read this.”

Did you know that $0 of that goes to the authors of the article?

Just email us and we’ll be happy to send you a copy for free. We’re usually thrilled that anyone cares. 🧪🦑🦈

Hmm… August 11th is Global Kinetic Sand Day as well as being Play In The Sand Day. Might I recommend we all play in the kinetic sand? 😄

I think this idea has some real momentum!
