As we write, DOGE is reportedly inside the gates of the IMLS (Institute for Museum and Library Services), where Keith Sonderling, Deputy Secretary of Labor and “somehow now Acting Director” of IMLS is dismantling the agency that helps libraries be libraries. /1 www.reddit.com/r/fednews/s/...

The Democratic Party’s problems are not about being moderate or left. That’s a consultant and pundit red herring The problems are in party organization, the culture of “it’s their turn” nominations, candidate recruitment, gerontocracy, inability to shape media topics, and coming off hella lame

“Trust librarians. They’re the best resource to know — they’ve been trained for this. Do not leave such an important subject to politicians.”

I have always loved public libraries, but having young children has exponentially increased my gratitude and sense of indebtedness to them. Our local library is such a huge part of our lives. The books, the programming, the very intentionally curated kids’ section. It’s all such a gift.

It is hard to emphasize just how overparked Connecticut is but "Main Street Park" in Old Saybrook does a pretty good job This one acre park is exactly 50% parking lot, 25% parking adjacent grass and sidewalk and 25% pickleball courts This park is literally surrounded by on and off street parking

Never forget—a 2022 Yale study estimated that a single-payer universal healthcare (the good kind of UHC) could have saved over $105 billion in COVID hospitalization costs. That, plus saving tens-hundreds of thousands of lives. www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

A bill to break up UnitedHealth, CVS, Cigna and more has been introduced by a bipartisan group of U.S. senators and representatives. The legislation would force insurers to sell their pharmacy businesses. It aims to combat PBMs, pharma middlemen who drive up costs.

Clarendon, a neighborhood in Arlington, Virginia, is a “15-minute neighborhood” — you can walk to whatever you need in 15 minutes or less. Building more such neighborhoods, proponents say, would cut pollution and conserve nature. But do Americans want them?

In the last few months, I have intentionally reduced my podcast consumption and increased my music consumption, whether in the gym, car or while walking. I can't help but feel like it has improved my health.

In an era when misinformation and authoritarianism threaten to overwhelm us, access to information is our defense. Protecting libraries is an act of community solidarity and a commitment to the democratic ideals that define us as a nation.

Opinion: Defense of local libraries requires public support
We must protect free thought and access to information from the MAGA agenda.
