ANYWAY, did you know there's an extension you can put on Chrome that will connect with your local library system and when you go look at a book, say on AMZ, it will tell you if that book exists in the library system and if it's available?

It's literally called Library Extension.

Donald Trump is embarrassing the United States on the world stage. We are a country that stands up to dictators and fights for democracy.

Minnesota stands firmly with our allies in Ukraine.

This!!
Lord knows I’m not a constitutional scholar not even a lawyer (and I’ve yet to check in with @kateshaw.bsky.social) but a legal regime in which “you can do crimes if you’re buddies with the president or praise him publicly” is *on its face* a violation the equal protection of the laws.

reading this and I think most people—even people who think Musk is pretty far gone—don't fully understand the extent to which he is gone. diving into his feed for an extended period of time is a truly horrifying experience that's even a lot critical news-speak does not really capture.
A story about the virulent racists Musk is regularly promoting on his site.

This include many interactions (as recently as this morning) with an anon who is "impressed" by the Holocaust.

THAT’S. NOT. THE. POINT !

The POINT is that CONGRESS appropriates the money. You think it’s being spent on the wrong things or that there is fraud YOU. TAKE. IT. UP. WITH. CONGRESS.

I’m surprised our members of Congress are so calm about being made redundant💁🏻

He signs United States out of human rights organizations and gets El Salvador to agree to take American citizens. He’s planning to send political prisoners there. American citizens. Who all has he said he’d put in prison? He’s planning human rights violations.

Thankful the @thebulwark.bsky.social keeps reposting this, as the conclusion of this article is that any action that starts with “shock and awe” and that doesn’t have coordinated & well-thought out plans to follow is going to face a lot of problems…and fail.
"If your plan calls for your side being all-knowing, all-powerful, perfect in execution, and immune to surprise....the plan probably isn’t worth all that much." Let's hope so.

NEW: The GOP continues to push the lie that large numbers of noncitizens are voting. But why?

It's part of an effort to depress the turnout of voters of color, sow doubt in elections and bolster Trump's immigration agenda — all for political gain.
What’s Really Behind Republicans' Push for Proof of Citizenship?
Republicans are perpetuating harmful myths to pass proof of citizenship requirements that serve their own ends.
