🚨NEW🚨: Donald Trump is attempting to strip away federal support for libraries. We will NOT let that happen.

Last night the President signed an order to gut the Institute of Museum & Library Services. But together, we know we can show up & defeat it.

Last Friday, I ended my day speaking to the descendant of an enslaver, an enslaver who was also one of our board of trustees. Not that there in't a plethora of /groundbreaking scholarship/books that have been written on the role universities and colleges have played in perpetuating chattel slavery

Booked and busy for sure, days with back to back meetings, missed dinners bc I just passed out on the bed when I got home, trying to hold on and believe we can fix this shit we're in, but definitely putting aside the dread/strain I feel inside

Mainstream media cannot say they're also independent journalism...stop, just stop it! You will not receive a donation from me.
