Your choice, America:

Democracy with a stutter
— or —
Fascism with a nutter

That's it. Bottom line. Choose wisely.

They try to tell us we don’t have the resources for medical care or housing or college tuition or art classes in schools. Bullshit. We have plenty of resources - they’re right here

Truly devastated by the damage done by @Delta to my 20 year old martin guitar. So many memories just gone. Absolutely beyond devastated. Please repost. @Delta needs to be held responsible.

It should not matter what Trump says on abortion tomorrow. He was already president, and when he was, he appointed Supreme Court justices who overturned Roe v Wade and helped ban abortion in states across America. https://t.co/n3k6GgeiIj

Later, #pla2024. The sparkly shoes will return in Minneapolis. (@trixiemattel for closing season!)

@mattfruth "Fight me so I have something new to be upset about!"

[Merideth Benjamin @MeriJenBen]

So, I'm reading the #PLA2024 tweets and keep seeing some right-wing book banning fool tweeting about how the conference is"anti-capitalism". Well...duh! Libraries are socialist AF! Always have been.

[Merideth Benjamin @MeriJenBen]

My point!

[Merideth Benjamin @MeriJenBen]

My #pla2024 sisters, brothers and others! You too can have chrome and sparkle sneakers! They sell them at a number of online retailers. Shoes can be fabulous and comfortable!

[Merideth Benjamin @MeriJenBen]

I spent 90 minutes in the exhibit hall at #PLA2024 and wound up with 6 tote bags. I did not seek them out. They chose me.

@StrikerInDanger We are in good hands!

[Merideth Benjamin @MeriJenBen]

I feel seen

For the others everyone understands

I have to work today, too. I feel you Jean. #sundaylibrarian

[Jorts (and Jean) @JortsTheCat]

Have a relaxing Sunday. Jean is keeping an eye on everything, so you go get some good rest

Yes, Biden is old. In fact, he's 45 whole minutes older than the last time we published a story about his age.

@AskAManager @amypoeppel I can also see this as a corrective to Valentine's displays, which can get a little treacly. And, some patrons are ornery and the fastest way to get them to read something is to tell them not to.

[Merideth Benjamin @MeriJenBen]

@AskAManager @amypoeppel Okay, branch manager here. If one of my staff wanted to do a display like this, I would let them. But, the signage would need to be different. I would probably go with something like "Prove Us Wrong" or "Not for Us - Books the staff didn't vibe with".
