Remember in like 5th grade where we all talked about what we would have done to help if we were alive during nazi-era germany? Well, looks like it’s time to get out my yearbook and see how many of y’all were lying.

Imagine watching that sermon and thinking it was "nasty." We elected a man who thinks mercy has no place in a house of worship. God help us.

Is anyone on here also on Storygraph? I'm switching to that since Goodreads is owned by Amazon and so far I love it. The graphs bring joy to my nerdy heart. #booksky

Remember when that U2 album was forced onto everyone’s iPhones? This feels a lot like that but with fascism…

SHARE WIDELY.
KNOW YOUR RIGHTS.

With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights.

You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one.

Gentle reminder that you can log off today and exercise, volunteer, play video games, run errands, crochet, bake banana bread, see a friend, binge any TV show, play with your baseball cards, tidy your junk drawer(s), bury yourself in work, whatever you need to do to protect your peace. ❤️

Today's first act of resistance is to read a middle grade Newbery Honor book about a Syrian refugee.

Just so we’re clear:
1. Audiobooks count
2. Reading is political
3. The orange man is a piece of 💩

Thanks for stopping by 💃

One thing before tomorrow:

Use your local libraries.

Get your card.

Borrow books, manga, films, audios, ebooks.

Recommend titles for purchase (usually online).

Attend promoted activities.

Fill out those "How are we doing?" questionnaires.

Tell your kids that libraries are good.

They are.

This motherfucker has the audacity to recite Dr. Martin Luther King's "Let Freedom Ring" when trump's policies will probably erase that from American history books.

What a thoroughly disgusting event.
As awful as we thought it might be.
