- Reposted by JenniferThe Trump HHS approach to transgender youth is not "greater emphasis on psychtherapy." It is "ONLY psychotherapy," with the explicit goal of making trans youth no longer transgender. It IS conversion therapy. Washington post is an absolute right wing rag at this point.

- Reposted by JenniferDr. Carla Hayden is a trailblazer who spent her tenure working to make the Library of Congress accessible to all Americans. It’s no surprise this callous President fired our nation’s librarian. Another attempt to shut our country out from history, progress, and learning.
- Reposted by JenniferDr. Carla Hayden has served as Librarian of Congress with honor and distinction, bringing our prized institution to new heights. Trump’s outrageous, politically-motivated move to fire her is despicable. The Library of Congress belongs to the American people — NOT to Trump.

- Reposted by Jennifer“If the large increases in tariffs that have been announced are sustained, they’re likely to generate a rise in inflation, a slowdown in economic growth, and an increase in unemployment,” the Federal Reserve chair said. This is exactly what Trump doesn’t want the American public to hear.

- Huntington Beach City Council voted 7-0 to have city legal counsel file a complaint against nonprofit Friends of the Library, which has raised millions for HBPL. Meanwhile, councilmembers have violated campaign laws at Calvary Chapel of the Harbour (which needs its own nonprofit status stripped).
- It entertains me when someone tries to “both sides are wrong” and it takes them more than one reply to go on their tirade… I’m able to just nope them right out of the discussion after their 1/# reply in the thread, by blocking them and walking away from the tragedy that is their nonsense 🤷♀️😏
- Reposted by JenniferRFK Jr. went on Fox News and lied through his teeth. He said they weren’t cutting critical research. Terminated grants so far have included studies on cancer, Alzheimer’s, HIV, and tuberculosis. Ohio researchers lost funding for kidney disease and TB projects. This guy doesn’t care about health.
- Reposted by JenniferThis post is gonna get a lot of mileage.
- Major props to Natalie Moser for chastising Pat Burns for unconstitutionally cutting off speakers if they are speaking against specific councilmembers and the council for manufacturing crises and asks people to beware of false prophets and wolves in sheep’s clothing, clearly referring to Chad. 🙌🙌🙌
- Reposted by Jennifer[Not loaded yet]
- That was certainly something. I encourage everyone to email Huntington Beach city councilmembers and let them know what you think of their fashy plan to privatize the library and ban puberty books and LGBTQ+ books from the teen catalog, with the help of MAGA cult church Calvary Chapel of the Harbor
- Reposted by Jennifer🪡: A speaker yells 'vote no, vote no on pedophilia!" to cheers. Another says that while nobody seems to agree on what porn is, "nobody knows porn better than this city council" to laughter and applause. He calls them 'porn peddlers' and references their friendship with Matt Gaetz.
- Reposted by Jennifer🪡: We're 75 minutes into the meeting, and the audience has gone from fully packed (300 seats) to 50-60 seats filled. To the council, a speaker says "YOU'RE the ones making it weird!"
- Current speaker claims the abstract on the HBPL website describes “Let’s Talk About It” as a “sex book for children”… it does not. “Abstract: ‘A graphic novel about sex, sexuality, gender, body, consent, and many other topics for teens’”
- Current speaker tells Chad that he needs to leave Friends of the Library alone and if he’s concerned about political campaign violations by a non-profilt, he should look at his campaigning from the pulpit as a pastor.
- Reposted by JenniferDepending on how the U.S. #SupremeCourt rules, it could become extraordinarily difficult for students with #disabilities to win cases filed under the #ADA and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act.
- Reposted by Jennifer🪡: Another woman goes up, calling out some of the members of the council for their attacks on constituents on social media. Pat Burns interrupts her, telling her that she can't do this, just like earlier in the day. He argues with her, not letting her speak, and does not give her back her time.
- Reposted by Jennifer🪡: Another woman goes up to read another of Karen England's books right after - this is the book she's claiming is 'porn' in the children's library. On either count, it's not.
- Reposted by Jennifer🪡: Chris Rini goes up and calls out the fact the books being read are provided by Karen England, and that they're all books in the adult stacks of the library. He also shames Chad for his bastardization of Christian scripture to promote his lies.
- The problem is education… the No on A & B folks don’t have much and they don’t want to kids to have a solid education, either.
- Reposted by Jennifer🪡: Dennis' girlfriend Valentina Bankhead goes up and claims that while a woman spoke about her assault, a librarian behind her suggested that the woman should just kill herself. It's an outlandish story, and someone in the audience yells "citation needed".
- 🙌🙌🙌 @chriswarcraft.bsky.social Chris Kluwe saying what needs to be said! 🙌🙌🙌
- Valentina Bankhead spewing her usual fashy bullshit after the local Proud Boy (who very obviously lost the plot while watching Star Wars) was allowed to make a laughable speech which Pat Burns allowed to go over the time limit…
- Current speaker just called out for the entire council for being fascists and liars 🙌🙌🙌
- Current speaker chastising Andrew Gruel for calling protesters “circus animals” and “minions”, after claiming to stand for “unity” when he was appointed (NOT elected) to city council.
- Reposted by Jennifer🪡: Another frequent flyer says that body positivity has been hi-jacked to promote obesity. It's a strange foul ball in this space. We're not really sure what this has to do with the library. He also advocates for a No on A&B.
- The usual MAGA cultists here to run their mouths. Blah blah blah.
- All these people reading sexual passages from books NOT in the children’s section… I have to wonder if they’ve ever set foot in a library as an adult (aside from being here for this meeting), let alone ever read a book outside of school. They got these books from their church, based on lies.
- Older lady reading from an erotic passage (I’m telling you… they’re obsessed)… and says the word “Fuck” which is against the explicit instructions given by Herr Mayor Pat… Does he warn or chastise? Nope.
- Reposted by JenniferHuntington Beach Councilman Chad Williams has “Matthew 18:6” printed on top of his laptop on the Dias. “If anyone causes one of these little ones, those who believe in Me, to stumble, it would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck and he were drowned in the depths of the sea."
- Reposted by Jennifer🪡: Another person in line ahead of our reporter is holding a copy of "Perks of Being a Wallflower", from Karen England's private collection. As a reminder, this book features a protagonist who learns to deal with the trauma of being SAd by his aunt. It's being passed off as "porn".
- Lady claims there are no books on physics or international politics in the children’s section because their brains can’t process those topics. I guffawed. Couldn’t help it… A quick search…
- Yet another person doing a live erotica reading in a salacious voice. They really do get off on this shit. I don’t get it.
- The timer buzzer isn’t working so people are yelling “Tiiiiiiime!” and it’s taking a lot to not laugh every time.
- Reposted by Jennifer🪡: A particularly fiery speaker was wearing this amazing shirt -
- Fourth-grader at the podium, she says she could say a lot about the signs, but is asking what city council wants kids protected from, encourages a yes vote. Hope all the evangelicals feel awesome about exposing that kid to their erotic readings 🙄
- Librarian at the podium just sang a song about if you don’t like a book, close it up. More than half the audience participating in the participation clapping… myself included. 👏👏
- Two old dudes in a row reading from a YA novel; one from a teen girl’s perspective and another about two girls being intimate. They’re definitely enjoying this too much. I worry about these adults so obsessed with sexualizing kids… it’s creepy AF. And they’re the ones pretending to be concerned.
- Former city council member Mike Posey spewing bullshit, as usual.
- Last speaker played text to speech on her phone in an AI toddler voice, reading an erotic passage from a book she claims is in the children’s section. Current speaker reading an erotic passage from a book she claims is in the children’s section. Evangelicals are enjoying role-playing way too much.
- Gina Clayton-Tarvin speaking out against Chad Williams having two candidate-controlled committees at the same time. It’s a violation of HB Municipal Code. Calling on the city clerk to investigate. Also called him out for violating the city charter for hanging inappropriate signs near schools.
- Some random woman who didn’t sign up to speak jumped into the line (Pat allowed it) and her whole speech was about how we all need to be nice to each and stop the hate. We don’t need to be nice to fascists 💅
- Reposted by Jennifer🪡: The next speaker; "I'd like to thank Chad for inspiring so many community members to come out tonight, the parking lot is packed. I'd also like to thank Chad for uniting the left and right" She receives a standing ovation.
- Reposted by Jennifer🪡: A speaker accuses the council of telling parents that they can't be trusted to parent their own children, calling them a "nanny state". He concludes, "your actions have convinced this libertarian to vote yes!"
- Former probation officer speaking out about how library books don’t molest kids… it was mostly male family members. Lots of applause and cheers.
- Reposted by Jennifer🪡: Another speaker references a picture of Gracey from years ago, where she held a sign that said "I will not coparent with the government". She turns that statement around, saying that Gracey is now the government trying to parent. "I will not coparent with the govt. Vote Yes". Wild cheers.
