I was pleased to share my thoughts with David Renton for this article. There are a lot of good quotes from others as well here, including critique of Prevent in the UK and critique of the treatment of former members of hate groups as experts. (thread)

The masks send a signal to ICE officers and the public that they are not accountable for their actions — even illegal ones.

Today, I will be officially written up for the LTE I wrote endorsing Michelle Lippert for Library Board of Trustees, apparently bc it could be construed that I was speaking on behalf of the library.
They're wrong, & I won't sign. I know where the line is, I did not cross it.

Our opponents are getting sloppy. The KCRCC also sent out their 2025 voter guide out with a 2024 date printed on it, & our opponent on this also ignored the word count limitations, and her statement was cut off mid-sentence.
Is that the kind of sloppiness we want on a LIBRARY board?
