Rep. John Lewis wins National Book Award 60 years after he was barred from entering a library

So, as it turns out, Tomi Lahren is little more than a hypocritical, pandering sellout.

Twitter reacts to leaked image of this tragic bookshelf in Trump’s White House library

When he’s not too busy dismantling democracy, the President of the United States just keeps giving us easy ways to troll him. An insider leaked a photo of a bookshelf in the White House’s Old State Department Library to MSNBC’s Chris Hayes and it’s gone viral on Twitter. You can see why. The mostly-empty bookshelf is basically the perfect, tragic metaphor for our current administration:

“Notice the books,” he wrote, ominously. Let’s take a closer look:

To start with, there are eight books on this shelf, some of them duplicate copies, so realistically there are five books on this shelf. We haven’t seen this much empty space since Trump’s inauguration. Also, ICYMI: every single one of these books was written either by or about Donald Trump.

This would not be shocking given that Trump seems to hate words (unless they’re praising him), facts (which many books contain) and spines (he doesn’t have one).

Twitter had a lot to say about it—in fact, if you printed out the tweets about this bookshelf, you could probably fill up the bookshelf.

Trump to sign executive orders banning refugees, suspending visas for 7 countries

Trump will sign several executive orders involving immigration Wednesday — one of which will temporarily ban refugees and suspend visas to citizens from Syria and six other countries, Reuters reported.

One of the measures would block the entry of refugees in the U.S. for several months, with the exception for those fleeing religious persecution.

In addition to suspending the issuing of visas to citizens of Syria, other countries on the list include Iraq, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and Yemen.

Patriarchy and racism controls so much of white America. No woman was going to follow a black man.
