This is not deportation. This is kidnapping and human trafficking.
stop calling things deportation just because they call it deportation.
-You cannot legally deport people without due process.
-You cannot legally deport citizens.
-They are defining down deportation to break the law.

I'm proud to say I refer to these laws all the time.
Some people seem to think that invoking “Ranganathan’s Five Laws of Library Science” is just a bit of goofy, mockable nerdery. Maybe because of unexamined racism?
I regard them as articulating a perfect, beautiful, powerful normative ideal for libraries. A banner worth marching under. 📚

This is not a library. It violates every one of Ranganathan’s Laws:
Books are for use.
Every person their book.
Every book its reader.
Save the time of the reader.
A library is a growing organism.
A “library” that literally closes its doors to ANY patron is a salon for fascists. 📚

I recall exactly where I was on this day. Walking into the Wareham Free Library for a CE program we were hosting, I felt so happy to live in this state that was breaking new ground in providing basic civil rights. 20 years later, and it still hasn't destroyed my heterosexual marriage. #Shocking
Happy 20th Anniversary of the Destruction of the Fabric of American Life to all who celebrate. ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
