Reminder that none of things that Trump and his goons want Americans to be afraid of are responsible for bombing Iran. TRUMP DID THAT.

School librarians do a very important job. They offer a world of wonder to youngsters and, given that fewer of the latter are reading books now than in the last 50 years, they are invaluable. We should all keep an eye on where councils decide to make budget cuts!

Nine months ago, the United States "completely and totally obliterated" Iran's nuclear program. Tonight, we're attacking Iran to disrupt their nuclear program. A sizable percentage of this country thinks that's normal.

NEW: ALA strongly denounces new federal book banning legislation introduced in Congress, HR 7661. As ALA President Sam Helmick said, "Parents, not politicians, should guide their children's reading." Call your Rep and tell them to oppose this new bill. More from ALA: www.ala.org/news/2026/02...
The American Library Association strongly denounces new federal book banning legislation proposed in Congress. Call your Reps. Tell them to oppose H.R. 7661. Capitol switchboard: 202-224-3121

American Library Association, Show Up For Our Libraries"Parents, not politicians, should guide their children’s reading. In our school, campus, and public libraries, materials are selected by trained literacy professionals who understand child development and community needs. Their work is grounded in one clear purpose: helping young people become lifelong readers.

H.R. 7661 isn’t fundamentally about protecting kids. It’s about giving politicians broad authority to restrict whose stories are allowed on the shelves. That should concern anyone who believes in the freedom to read and the right of families to make decisions for themselves.” - ALA President Sam Helmick"Rather than targeting librarians and teachers, Congress should invest in them. The Right to Read Act offers a better path, supporting well-staffed and well-resourced school libraries, strengthening evidence-based literacy instruction, and protecting the dedicated professionals who help young people discover books that open doors and expand horizons.

When we trust families, support educators, and protect the freedom to read, our young people thrive.” - ALA President Sam Helmick.

Trump posted this on Truth Social. He’s really starting to push propaganda aimed at interfering with our elections. Spreading these kinds of claims only fuels escalation especially after MAGA activists were recently exposed for making similar accusations that

Tyson is closing a Nebraska plant that employs 3,200 workers in order to “right-size” its business. The meatpacking giant paid its CEO $22.7M last year, 525x its median employee's pay. It also spent $196M in stock buybacks to reward shareholders. Textbook corporate greed.

Trump’s throwing Gatsby parties while 42 million Americans wonder if they’ll eat. #SNAP’s collapsing, DOJ filings are vanishing, and the courts are the only thing still holding the line. He doesn’t give a damn, he never did. #uspolitics #governmentshutdown open.substack.com/pub/marygedd...

Breadlines and Ballrooms
A Jazz-Age masquerade for the ruling class, a can of lentils for everyone else, and a president who still “doesn’t give a shit.”

This isn’t legal, Elon. Musk steps up calls to impeach judges, offering $100 to voters who join in. America PAC is paying registered Wisconsin voters to sign its petition against “activist judges.” Talk about paid protesters. Now, judges are receiving violent threats online.
