A fringe theory claims our central nervous system (CNS) is a parasite that took over the body of an ancestor, capturing 20% of the body's resources. One fact supports it: If the body dies and the skull is open, the CNS sometimes detaches, perhaps an ancient host-seeking reflex.

The day after people across the United States took to the streets for No Kings Day, Trump signed an executive order consolidating executive power. He wants to seize direct control over independent agencies that were designed to operate outside of presidential influence to prevent authoritarian rule.

It would be a shame to encourage folks to use banned book lists to do strange things like -check them out regularly at the library -request the library order them if they don’t have them -buy them -start or support banned book clubs -organize a banned book kids story time A real shame

This story can't be repeated enough. The GOP is lined up behind the guy who is so incompetent that his quasi-gov't agency did this. They're confirming his highly questionable nominees & hurting the American people. And "accidentally"? It was stupidity, not accident. www.nbcnews.com/politics/dog...

Today, I found out that the Department of Defense banned the Well-Read Black Girl anthology by Glory Edim. I was one of its contributors. I'm really hurt right now. So if you have it in you, please buy books by Black women from independent bookstores.

A timeline of criminal negligence and conscious disregard for the safety of Americans. (Those are important buzz words, folks, legally speaking—stay tuned; the morbidly obese man hasn’t sung yet)
