This is an appreciation post for @astoriabookshop.bsky.social 🤩

They have…

➡️ a station to write your elected officials

➡️ an anti-fascist stance that’s obvious right when you walk in the door

➡️ an awesome kids section
A box of postcards with a pile of pens and markers, and a sign saying: pick a postcard and write to your elected officials! There is also a sign with the names and office addresses of most of the local electeds. A toddler kneels on the floor looking at a book about trucks, with bookshelves visible behind them A framed sign reads: we welcome all races, all religions, all countries of origin, all sexual orientations, all genders. We stand with you. You are safe here. The fine print at the bottom says: we reserve the right to refuse service to Nazis, fascists, and collaborators. A chalkboard has upcoming events written on it, with a heading reading: Community is the antidote to fascism

From @heatmap.news this morning…

I’d bet their “near-term strategic goals” are just to get away from the American shit show lol 🤷🏻‍♀️

Fair but very disappointing to see companies already taking clean energy manufacturing elsewhere.
Screenshot from an email newsletter reading: Large Georgia battery plant canceled - Norwegian clean tech company Freyr Battery has canceled its plans to build a $2.6 billion lithium-ion battery plant in Georgia. The project was expected to bring more than 700 new jobs to the state. In a letter to the Coweta County Development Authority, Freyr said the decision “was made reluctantly, as the Company has realigned its near-term strategic goals.”

If they really do this, and I see no reason not to believe that they will, it will be a concentration camp.
Screenshot from Encyclopedia Brittanica’s page defining the term ‘concentration camp’ (definition in next image) concentration camp, internment centre for political prisoners and members of national or minority groups who are confined for reasons of state security, exploitation, or punishment, usually by executive decree or military order. Persons are placed in such camps often on the basis of identification with a particular ethnic or political group rather than as individuals and without benefit either of indictment or fair trial. Concentration camps are to be distinguished from prisons interning persons lawfully convicted of civil crimes and from prisoner-of-war camps in which captured military personnel are held under the laws of war. They are also to be distinguished from refugee camps or detention and relocation centres for the temporary accommodation of large numbers of displaced persons. (Source: Encyclopedia Brittanica)
