.@PeteButtigieg: If your party has been systematically against unions, against a higher minimum wage, against paid family leave, against overtime, then just because you found Hulk Hogan and Kid Rock and put them on a stage doesn't make you a friend of the working man. The substance actually matters

I'm happy to share that after I reached out to the library that @amypoeppel is referring to below, they sincerely and graciously apologized, removed the post, and got rid of the display. (I just hope other libraries will reconsider using the anti-staff picks gimmick.)

I love libraries and I love librarians! Always have, always will. HOWEVER, here’s a thread on how I got my heart squashed by one particular library in Massachusetts yesterday.

This is your yearly reminder that if you’re not in the mood or don’t have time to carve a pumpkin this year, you can put the skulls of your enemies outside and place tiny candles inside them.

I had the best time chatting with @janeroper about The Society Of Shame. This book was impossible to put down and had the best combination of laugh-out-loud humor and tender mother-daughter story: buff.ly/3Qz3cDF #summerreading

Since we’re all about “fairness” now, I look forward to #SCOTUS ruling that it’s illegal for colleges to take legacy into consideration in admission decisions. #AffirmativeAction

Anyone else notice this thing where 20something employees say "Welcome in" when you come into a store? That didn't used to be an expression, right? #ImSoOld

I asked former FBI Director Jim Comey to describe people he's worked with in 1 adjective.
Dick Cheney: "Overconfident."
Barack Obama: "Wise."
Michael Flynn: "Weird."
George Bush: "Insecure."
Donald Trump: ... watch and see....

Looking forward to the multi-million-dollar, multi-country rescue effort next time a boat of migrants fleeing war and poverty is in distress at sea.
