Okay, my presentation for ALA is done! I've gone through and edited the script for it as well! But I have a quick question for people on here: would you rather have a panel where 90% of the time is a deeper dive into the topic with 10% time for Q&A, or 50% is the presentation and 50% is Q&A?

This behavior is indistinguishable from the worst secret polices of fascist regimes of the 20th century.
NEW: Wearing masks, no ID, unmarked & blacked out cars, refusing to say what agency they’re from and using profanity with any press & public nearby.
This was at 14th & R in Washington DC, this morning (Sunday).
