This is a very serious problem for libraries, archives, and knowledge-keepers of all kinds. If you don’t control access to your collections, *you do not have collections.* If we do not have permanent access to records, stories, & sources of knowledge then our histories and memories are not our own.

Worth noting they’ve used this for decades. It’s a cultural issue that goes far beyond this admin or Greg Bovino. Read @memomiller.bsky.social ‘s border patrol nation if you want to learn about it.
Aaron Reichlin-Melnick@reichlinmelnick.bsky.social · 2w ago"Tonk" is a Border Patrol slur that refers to the sound a metal flashlight makes when used to beat a migrant in the head.

stephen miller killed this couple, as surely as if he'd pulled the trigger himself
Matt Ortega@mattortega.com · 2w agoStephen Miller said just the other day that all asylum claims are "fake." A couple deported from the U.S. to Guatemala were gagged, bound, and shot dead.
