Congress and the Supreme Court have abdicated their responsibility as a check on the executive.

Camus: Under conditions so desperate, the hard, marvelous task of this century is to create justice in the most unjust of worlds, and to protect freedom from those souls who, out of principle, choose servitude. If we fail, man will return to darkness. But at least we will have fought to find light.

BREAKING: The House of Representatives just passed the SAVE Act, a bill that would make it much harder for millions of people to register to vote.
We're calling on the Senate to reject this legislation.

It's worth celebrating right to read day every damn day with action items that protect the democratic institutions which make it a freedom accessible to all.
It's boring to repeat this all the time, but there it is. The work is boring and monotonous and more fucking necessary than ever.

Hey, so it's National Library Week. You're going to see a lot of calls to get a library card and check out books. All well and good. But I'm going to ask you to do something a little more supportive: speak up.

Happy National Library Week! If you don't have a library card, go get one. If you have one, use it!
Public goods thrive when everybody uses them. That's why they push kids to charter, home, and private schools, why they sow doubt and fear of libraries and our collections.
Use it or lose it!

The biggest thing we need to do is let people know that the protests are FUN. Yelling fuck the man is fun. You will meet fun people.
We also need to make them more fun. Bring grills like the French. Bring instruments like it’s Mardi Gras. Give people a reason to spend their weekend in the streets.
