Yesterday was a busy day in our reading room. We had researchers looking at lettering for jewellery design, flongs, some of our Caslon punches and some lovely wood type specimens! #Library #Archives #Collections #TypeDesign #PrintHistory #TypeSpecimens

So the Republican Party supports forcing women to give birth against their will, but opposes providing childcare, paid leave or healthcare. Got it.

I hate those f'ing jets. Unbearable in west end of Tacoma. How is demonstrating what "under siege" feels like part of 4th of July fun? I hate this holiday. – at Tacoma, WA

Correcting social media rumors about Tacoma: 1) The initial event was not a protest — it was some people doing donuts and street racing + onlookers. 2) At the protest that followed, 2 people were arrested, each at $1K bail. 3) There was space behind the cop car to back out.

The right-wing saying everything is 1984 or Orwellian is exactly the "doublethink" Orwell wrote about but they're too dense to see the irony.

Wow! This is some privilege! So a public building with showers, a kitchen and warm spaces should just sit empty during a homelessness crisis? SMH.

The president is manifestly unfit for office. I believe that the Vice President and cabinet should invoke the 25th amendment. Full statement:

Journalists still asking if this was planned or it just "happened" somehow.

Tune in to C-Span now to watch @HawleyMO turn himself into a human pretzel to compare the fascists he empowered and who attacked the U.S. Capitol today to those protesting for the right to not be shot by police for being Black. [insert circus gif here]

As we watch Trumpers storm the capital with guns. Just a reminder, this is what America did to Native protesting for clean water.

This is not abnormal. As my father said, this nation was “born in genocide.” We have yet to earnestly address America’s violent roots, its white supremacy or its racism. With urgency, we must. If we do not, violence, in many forms, will persist, no matter who is in office.

They’re not fucking “protestors.” They stormed the capital with fucking guns. Journalism is part of how we got here, normalizing violent white supremacy.

This is what every Republican member who is not following the Constitution is enabling right now. Chaos. Violence. Republicans, you owe it to be very loud and clear about what you are enabling and what you are denouncing. May your actions align with your words.

The fact that Mitch McConnell - a man with an unrelenting commitment to undermine America's first Black president - could lose his veto power over American democracy bc of Raphael Warnock, John Ossoff and Stacey Abrams is some kind of American justice.
