Book pusher & library nerd. I'd love to know what you're reading! Audiobooks definitely count as reading. It's never too early or too late.

German police were seen violently detaining several anti-genocide protesters during Unity Day demonstrations, as protesters gathered to condemn Israel’s genocide in Gaza and chanted “Free Palestine”. This is what 'Freedom of Speech' means in the western liberal democracies.

Farmers should be able to fix the equipment they own. When monopolies lock farmers out of their own tractors, they can charge whatever they want. One Texas farmer reports being charged $60,000 for a repair he couldn't legally make himself. Our farmers deserve the Right to Repair.
Graphic featuring a farmer driving a green tractor through a field. Text reads: “Texas farmer reports that without the Right to Repair his own equipment, monopoly charged him $60,000 to repair his tractor.” “Right to Repair” is highlighted in yellow. A small photo of Clayton Tucker in a cowboy hat appears above the text, with @ClaytonTuckerTX at the top.

The familiar skull and crossbones on early American gravestones wasn't necessarily meant to frighten anyone. Puritan-era "death's head" carvings bluntly reminded viewers that death comes for everyone. Later, winged cherubs gradually replaced some of those grinning skulls. #FairyTaleTuesday

Adela Vázquez wore many hats. She worked for trans people to receive compassionate HIV/AIDS prevention and care; founded Las AtreDivas (the Daring Divas), a drag group that provided sex education; and took a chosen family under her wing. We applaud Adela's contributions as a queer, Latine advocate.

We are aware of multiple stops conducted today by federal agents in the Madera and Fresno areas. We remind the public to stay calm, to verify information, and to exercise one’s rights, including the right to not answer questions. If detained, do not sign anything without speaking to a lawyer. All encounters with federal agents should be recorded and documented if it is safe to do so. Witnesses can reach out to us to share what they see or to seek help.
