No country that arrested librarians and booksellers was on the right side of history. But that's what's happening in Arkansas. And this is where your whole country is headed with H.R 7661 and S 4925. Via @everylibrary.bsky.social action.everylibrary.org/arkansasact372
Arresting Librarians AND Booksellers in the United States
History has shown that arresting librarians and booksellers has never led to greater freedom or liberty.

We must pay attention to the details of the deconstruction of justice & democracy & educate others. Trump fired over 100 immigration judges. That might sound mundane. But there's a 4 million case backlog & 12 immigration courts lost 1/2 their immigration judges & 2 lost all full-time judges!🧵

Anne Frank wasn’t beat or shot to death. She died of typhus due to unhygienic conditions in her concentration camp. ICE isn’t just killing the people it shoots. A detention center is just a death camp by a different name. And they’re quietly murdering everyday. Post Here: interactink.vercel.app
Now more than ever. Ukraine needs help from all Americans who can afford to chip in and let the Ukrainians know we care. Even if you can only afford $2 or $5, it adds up. You choose the amount and what it is used for. Action is the antidote to despair. u24.gov.ua bsky.app/profile/npr....
