Tomorrow, February 28, let’s disrupt the status quo by spending ONLY at businesses that uplift our communities.

That means:
🚫 No gas from corporate giants
🚫 No fast food chains
🚫 No big-box retailers (Target, Walmart, Amazon, etc.)

Students and faculty got arrested and put their careers on the line protesting genocide.

I want to see some Democratic officials getting arrested to protect democracy.

If you ask library workers to describe their dream library, one of the first things they’ll mention is having a social worker at the library (emphasizing the extraordinary helpers that they are!) 💚

Love that the Miami-Dade Library has social services to help neighbors access resources & programs ✨

These executive orders on banning federally funded entities from recognizing trans people or disallowing them from using the bathroom are not self-executing or immediately enforceable. They require formal rule making at a minimum. They are a scare tactic. Ignore and do not comply in advance.

Loving the #booksky content so far. Today’s book for me is The Message, Ta Nehisi Coates. Brilliant.
I am listening/stitching. Anyone else do audio books and stitching? Also- got out of the habit of using hashtags but here we are again.

In one of his last acts as president, Biden just signed the release of Leonard Peltier.
Biden Pardons Five More People, Including Civil Rights Leader Marcus Garvey
Civil rights advocates and lawmakers have long said that Mr. Garvey’s 1923 conviction for mail fraud was unjust, arguing that he was targeted for his work.
