Still here. Still anti-fascism, pro-choice, anti-racist, pro-coffee, pro-diversity, pro-science, pro-immigration, anti-ignorance and pro-books. 🤷🏻♀️

Today they have crossed a deep red line.
We, the people, must hold the president and his appointees accountable for this outrageous abuse against American liberty.

West Coast numbers are coming in, and estimates have now surpassed 5 million. People are still pouring into the streets—nearly 2% of the American population is rising up. America, we are so proud of you. You did it.

Rather than violate their oath or comply with Musk’s illegal requests, 21 civil service employees resigned today from Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (formerly the United States Digital Service), stating they would not use their technical expertise to dismantle critical public services.

Gov. Mills: I’ll comply with the state and federal laws
Trump: We are the federal law. You better do it because you’re not going to get any federal funds.
Gov Mills: See you in court

My baby reaching her hands up to me for a pick up is one of the simplest, most common ways I have my heart ripped out of my body on a daily basis.

I’m a part time librarian and I just want to echo what I’ve seen other librarians say recently: there is a HUGE uptick in requests for social justice, climate justice, abolition, history, etc books and I just want to say nobody is giving up the fight. If anything people are fighting harder #library

The cognitive dissonance of getting up every morning and making coffee and walking the dog and going to meetings and answering emails and wondering what to make for dinner while there is a real live actual coup d’etat happening is BONKERS

I’m so tired of living in unprecedented times. I’m so angry that we LITERALLY had the playbook for this and yet let this happen (except Black women, who understood the damn assignment). It’s been 17 days. History tells us we have 53. LFG.

Dorothy B. Porter changed libraries 💜
The Dewey Decimal System used to only have two classifications for Black people: 325 (colonization) & 326 (slavery). Each book by a Black person was put into one of these classifications. A book of poetry? Classified as colonization.

Reading @hcrichardson.bsky.social’s letter usually makes me take a breath - it’s so clear and calm that the panic recedes. Instead, the Feb 2 letter’s clarity starkly shows how quickly everything has gone terribly, horribly wrong. But go on about those eggs.

Tonight’s before bed book was this beautiful one. As a result, I found myself explaining slavery, emancipation, civil rights, good trouble, equity and fairness to my six-year-old. I can’t say it all landed, but we’re starting the convo early and often. Feels extra important right now.

My 6 YO was made fun of at school for painting his nails. The boys told him only girls paint their nails. He’s not sure he wants to paint them again because they made him feel bad. When are we adults going to do better so our kids can be better?
