David Kayein my view, the republican assault on libraries, librarians, schools, children, families, parents and their right to freedom of expression & thought & association & education should be at the leading edge of democratic & progressive advocacy. it's so freaking obvious and there's so much silence.

Qasim Rashid, Esq.I love closing out the year with this. 😊
On December 31, 1995, exactly 27 years ago today, legendary cartoonist Bill Watterson published his final 'Calvin and Hobbes' comic strip.
How beautiful and appropriate it was, and a timeless reminder of what we have before us in 2023. ❤️

As Southwest CEO Bob Jordan pretends to apologize—remember—SW got a $7B federal bailout, spent $5.6B of that on Stock Buybacks, gave their CEO a raise to $9.1M, & forced frontline workers into 16 hour shifts under threat of termination—while spending $0 updating SW software😳
Southwest’s debacle isn’t an accident. It’s the predictable result of billionaire & corporate corruption & greed—& thousands of workers & travelers are paying the price.
In a just world SW execs will face criminal charges.
