When you buy a gun, you’re shown pictures of gunshot victims.

If your neighbor suspects you of buying a gun, they can call a hotline.

If you’re from a state where guns are illegal, you can be arrested if you buy a gun out of state.

Oh sorry, these are all abortion laws.

"If one asked me to what do I think one must principally attribute the singular prosperity and growing force of this people, I would answer that it is to the superiority of its women."

The people of England have poured out into the streets to outnumber fascists who have been terrorizing and assaulting people of color. Now the Nazis cower behind the police.

It's funny how none of this was present on January 6

Rent prices are 26% higher than they were in 2020 and rising in three out of every five markets, per CNBC.

Half of all renter households — more than 22 million — spent more than 30% of their income on housing.

Kurt Vonnegut's Uncle Alex story is one of my absolute faves. #Lemonade

This is Howard’s wife, Amy Nathan. I am heartbroken to share my brilliant and extraordinary husband passed away late last night surrounded by those he loved most, his family. He valiantly battled pancreatic cancer for 2 years. He couldn’t have been adored more. The world was a better place because he lived in it and wrote about it.

Reading the reporting on Justice Alito's flag preferences, I'm reminded of this 1986 edition of CNN's Crossfire where Frank Zappa calls out America's path to a fascist theocracy.

A Louisiana bill would criminalize membership in the American Library Association with fines, jail time, or hard labor. No, this isn't a joke.

have already gotten sent/tagged in three photos of people who have There’s Always This Year on them at actual NBA/NCAA games and I do suppose one version of My Kind Of People are absolutely the people who take books to basketball games

They want to see your tolerance for it. So you see it in NYC and say oh this is just what they need. But you’ll be upset once this gets to your front door and they tell you this is exactly what you need too.

[Boze Herrington, Library Owl 😴🧙‍♀️ @SketchesbyBoze]

I do think politicians who vote to remove libraries from their districts should be haunted by spirits. you're destroying the social heart of your community. you're making it hard to live

Today marks one year since a freight train derailed in East Palestine, Ohio, spreading toxic chemicals all over the community.

Congress has done “absolutely nothing” to prevent this from happening again as a bipartisan rail safety bill languishes. https://t.co/b44s1jHZew

RIP to Wayne Kramer, who never stopped fighting both systemic and internal demons to make some of the fiercest music of the 20th Century. Seen here with Boots Riley and Tom Morello at the launch of his org Jail Guitar Doors USA

Veteran Photographer Robert Dawson gained popularity shooting spectacular images of the American West. Later, he refocused on a seemingly unrelated subject: libraries. He began traveling the country, photographing hundreds, from the modest to the monumental.
