No Kings: Stand Against Trump’s Un-American Birthday Bash
He claims it’s about the Army, but it’s really about him.
By Jeffrey C. Isaac, Jun 12, 2025
JUNE 14 IS A SPECIAL DAY. It was officially designated in 1949 as Flag Day—not one of the federal holidays for which anybody gets time off from work, but an honored day to remember the adoption by the Second Continental Congress of the Stars and Stripes as the flag of the United States on June 14, 1777.
But Donald Trump has chosen another event from two years earlier as the anniversary on which he is pinning his enormous military parade on the streets of Washington, D.C.: the creation of the U.S. Army by that same Second Continental Congress on June 14, 1775. This would make June 14, 2025 an occasion to celebrate what Trump regards as the indissoluble link between the nation, its capacity for violence, and himself, the indispensable avatar of “patriotism” and redeemer of American Greatness.
There are several problems here, but let’s start with an easy one: To be historically accurate, the 250th Army birthday that Trump claims to commemorate is a fake. At best, you can say it fudges the historical record.

Warriors Don’t Fear Ideas – U.S. Naval Institute – 2025

If the Naval Academy is to develop future warriors and scholars of the highest caliber, it must encourage them to think independently. Here, U.S. Naval Academy’s class of 2025 midshipmen stand and take the oath of office. (Kenneth D. Aston Jr.)

Warriors Don’t Fear Ideas
By Jason Chen, Kristen Kavanaugh, and Michael Smith
June 2025, Proceedings, Vol. 151/6/1,468
On 27 January, an executive order directed the Department of Defense (DoD) to abolish Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DEI) programs and prohibit its educational institutions from promoting what the document called “un-American, divisive, discriminatory, radical, extremist, and irrational theories.” The order further directed a comprehensive review of the “leadership, curriculum, and instructors of the United States Service Academies.” Two days later, DoD issued a similarly titled memorandum to military and civilian leaders, stating that, “No element within DoD will provide instruction on critical race theory, DEI, or gender ideology as part of a curriculum.” The justification for these policies falls under Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth’s overarching priority to “forge warriors, rebuild strength, and restore deterrence.” The U.S. Naval Academy’s military and civilian leaders have followed the DoD’s direction, as they are duty-bound to do.
While Hegseth’s oft-repeated goal of maximizing warfighting and lethality is laudable, it cannot be achieved by suppressing ideas or stifling academic inquiry.
A timeline of recent events at the Naval Academy demonstrates a concerted effort to suppress and stifle:
● October 2024 – The Naval Academy rescinds an invitation to speak for Dr. Ruth Ben-Ghiat, a scholar of authoritarianism and fascist movements, to deliver the annual Bancroft Lecture. The Academy claims the speech has not been cancelled, but rescheduled, though no new date has been announced.
● February 2025 – The Academy launches a review of midshipman clubs and affinity groups for cancellation. Groups organized around religious affiliation are exempted, but some formed around gender or ethnicity are targeted, such as the Midshipmen Black Studies Club, the Society of Women Engineers, and “Moms in Flight Suits”—a mentoring group of experienced female aviators for female midshipmen interested in naval aviation.
● March 2025 – In anticipation of a visit by Secretary Hegseth, a display featuring the achievements of female Jewish graduates is removed. The Academy’s director of communications confirmed the action but said it was done mistakenly, and the display was returned after the Secretary’s departure.
● March 2025 – The Naval Academy cancels the annual Michelson Lecture speaker, Dr. Susan Solomon, who was to give a speech the following month on atmospheric science, because it was “not well aligned with executive orders and other directives.”

I am so in love with this book 💯

Kate McKinnon and team produced a gem 💎 🏆🌟

I would listen to her voice-act anything. Possibly best sound-engineered book I've heard 💜

Cover art. The background is dark green with a gold border and ornate corners. The main focus is a whimsical illustration of three children and an adult standing on the back of a giant red worm with 4 eyes and rows of sharp teeth, which are swallowing the home of Millicent Quibb. The worm is partially visible as it has burrowed in and out of the ground. There are lots of little details like a butterfly flying away from Dee-Dee, Eugenia holding a black parasol, and Gertrude holding a small device with an anyenna. The house has small towers and a giant spotlight, which shines on "Mad Science" in the subtitle, which is rendered is scrawled red block letters like a crazy person wrote it. Title is in a large informal gold font, the rest of subtitle is in small white block letters. At bottom is gold text "By G. Edwina Candlestank as told to Kate McKinnon"

Good Morning #Canada
OTD in 1946, the Canadian Library Association (CLA) was founded in Hamilton, Ontario, in 1946 and incorporated on November 26, 1947. The CLA represented #Library workers and advocated for funding and improvements. Due to declining membership, it was replaced by the Canadian Federation of Library Associations. Here are 6 of Canada’s most beautiful libraries.

Queen's College Old Library, Cambridge.

This library was established as part of the college's foundation in 1448 and has remained in its current location ever since. Most of the furniture is still original, as are the leather bindings of many medieval books, since Queen's was unable to afford rebinding its volumes as was fashion in the 18th century.

#NowReading: The Trial by Franz Kafka

Written in 1914, The Trial is the terrifying tale of Josef K., a respectable bank officer who is suddenly & inexplicably arrested & must defend himself against a charge about which he can get no information.

An #existential tale, a parable, or a prophecy of the excesses of modern bureaucracy wedded to the madness of #totalitarianism.

Cover of the book. The Trial by Franz Kafka. The cover has a reddish-colored background with images of 5 pairs of eyes, either drawn or created with computer editing software. Not real looking eyes. The last row of eyes, differs from the 4 sets above it in that it has an auburn colored pupil, when all the others have blue pupils. The title of the book is in place of the auburn eye's pair.

Slowly making progress with our local Community Computer Upcycle project.
Our first two donated computers have been upgraded to Linux Mint and will be made available to use on-site for clients of Madison County Recovery Allies in the next week or two. Outreach to collect used hardware has just started. As computers are upgraded to Linux they will be offered for free to MCRA clients and county residents.
