Working thru a value benefit here: I have a kobo plus sub, but still have a KU sub because I read a lot and believe the Evil Zon is losing $ on me. Also, ebooks are stupid expensive for libraries. Therefore, order of ebook reading operations: kobo plus, KU, then library ebook - this maths, right?

Jelani Cobb, Dean of the Columbia Journalism School, draws a historical comparison to the Fugitive Slave Act and that of the ongoing ICE raids. The Fugitive Slave Act brought our country to the precipice of the Civil War.

9 people were killed in a tornado last night in KY. The NWS office responsible for that area has faced some of the most extreme cuts by the Trump administration, including the loss of overnight forecasting. Last night, they were rushing to find help for the office. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/16/w...

Great thread, and good comments after. I was not food insecure in 2020 but with groceries being weird back then having an instant pot and a cupboard of dried beans made me feel VERY prepared.

I've spent most of march either walking petitions for ballot access, talking to volunteers and candidates walking petitions, building walking lists, supporting local candidates in village elections, and basically thinking about local politics. I'm exhausted but y'all, the work is on the ground.

I am a month behind in listening but at least 2 of these books were available in kobo plus! Which is like KU but not Amazon! Wondering what the discoverability is on that platform - any ideas?

Yesterday, I published an investigation into a secretive & abusive NYPD unit led by Mayor Eric Adams’ buddies. Adams has embraced the unit, the Community Response Team, even after NYPD officials raised red flags. This is what that has wrought. **All caught on video we obtained.** THREAD.

I'm waiting for the point where the stupidity radicalizes engineers and the politics truly become personal and actionable.

Remember, their policies are deeply unpopular. They do not have the support the media wants you to believe they have. We have numbers. These people are ghouls pushing white male supremacy. Take a deep breath and do not let them break you. Ever. WE THE PEOPLE

Great article and the situation is v relevant to mtgs in the Village of Montgomery NY. observations: 1. More public booing! 2. Wear a mask when jeering, it's healthier AND obfuscates. 3. Be prepared to act in apparent kidnappings like this. This audience wasn't. www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news...

My long held theory that all of this stems from AM radio call-in shows (pls someone research?) and the platforming of *any* early morning opinions for broadcast thru the NYC metro radio market and now I'm like: was it me? Was I a long time listener first time caller too? And where do I go now? /end

I am thinking more thoughtfully about what snips of my life to document and share after generally stopping most shares on other platforms and just consuming - and it's HARD, actually, to change from "what will people consume" to "what do I want to send out purposefully." 3/

Drawing an uncomfortable social connection: states want to institutionalize disabled folks + angry women, and publishers say historical romance isn't popular anymore - OR, they don't want us to have access to representations of the LAST time ugly laws in place? www.instagram.com/reel/DF_RkOz...

Anyway based on my nostalgia we need more riotgrrl, punk rock crafters, the personal is ALWAYS political, and joyful romance to make it through this terrible time. Also maybe marble magnets.
