Retired public school teacher, animal lover, rock hound, astronomy, gardener, born in post-war Germany, have been yelling fascism since I first heard an American crowd chant "Lock her up!" #addbirder

Let books be. Today kicks off #BannedBooksWeek, an annual observation started more than 40 years ago in response to a sudden surge in attempts to censor or remove books in libraries, schools, and bookstores. Sound familiar? Find ways to get involved and spread the word: bit.ly/4yvixbB.
LET BOOKS BE. Various line drawings related to libraries and books, including a hand holding a sign made of an open book that reads "Freed for ALL to Read," a tote bag that reads "Totes Resist" carrying a book, a full book cart with the head and tale of a horse with text that reads "A Wild Ride," and a closeup of two feet standing on a stack of books that say "A Soap Box" on their spines. Text at bottom reads "Protect the freedom to read. Banned Books Week, October 4-10, 2026." American Library Association. ala.org/bbooks

If Trump just takes money appropriated by Congress for a specific purpose & seizes it to use it for an entirely different purpose, what is the point of having a Congress or appropriating money for anything? I’m sure the Senate Appropriations Chair Susan Collins must be concerned.

ICE just kidnapped a woman at LAX airport Saturday Oct 3, 12:50AM. A community member was able to record when several ICE goons who refused to identify themselves grabbed the woman, put her into a van and then drove off.

On this day in 1994, the Clinton administration's heathcare reform plan was declared "dead" by Congress. Over 30 years later, the US is still the only industrialized country without universal healthcare. This should be a national outrage.

Mike Rogers told Michiganders he was an assembly line autoworker who made Chrysler LeBarons. Turns out it was a complete lie. Shameful.
michiganadvance.com
Mike Rogers claims he was an assembly line worker. The UAW said that is stretching the truth. • Michigan Advance
Rogers says he built Chrysler vehicles on an assembly line. Records show his work was at an aftermarket facility that modified vehicles after they left the factory.

83% agree that everyone should have access to the same reproductive health care & rights. 71% said they are proud of Canada’s support for abortion rights & reproductive health care worldwide. Previous research shows when abortion rights are attacked elsewhere, it strengthens *our* pro-choice views.

You might be surprised to hear me say this, but I think Zohran Mamdani is the future of the Democratic Party. Just not for the reasons you probably think. He has a sharp strategic mind and the credibility to say uncomfortable truths to his own people and be heard rather than exiled.
