reminder if you're going to a protest this weekend: don't post pictures of yourself at the event, change your phone settings to code only (no finger print or face unlock), and bring water for yourself.
wearing a mask is great to protect your health and your identity, while also protecting others.

Abducting people at work sites - meaning they have jobs.
Capturing them at court dates - meaning they're following the law.
Blocking them from accessible higher education - meaning they're striving for more.
And peddling lies about jobless, lawless, driftless.

🚨Another HUGE bit of news tonight; in collaboration with the Trump admin, Texas just kicked 20,000 undocumented college students — people who grew up in Texas and graduated from high school there — out of eligibility for in-state tuition.
This may force thousands to drop out.

Texas agrees with feds to end in-state tuition for undocumented students

No cops at Pride includes the cop in your head who tells you to police other queer people. Learn the difference between being uncomfortable and being harmed. Deal with your discomfort on your own time. Pride is for the community, not just you.

Every year I gotta deal with Hide the Pride people messing with my displays so please do this so you too can help tired librarians keep their sanity and protect LGBTQ services and programming at your libraries!
hey here's something I would love us all to do like RIGHT NOW: find out if your local library is doing any kind of pride programming or display, and if they are, email them to say thank you and why it matters to you. whether or not you're queer. especially if you're in an area where it's fraught
