Communities are organizing ICE patrols using radios and megaphones—but what we really need is an ICE alert website where people can share details of ICE activity in real time to help protect and inform one another.

My advice is if your law firm can't say this, get yourself a new law firm.

How cool is our new banned books display at our Seaport location? Come check it out! 📚

#indiebookstore #bostonbookstore #bannedbooks #bannedbooksdisplay
A laminated meme of an ecstatic Oprah declaring “You get a banned book!” along with two bookmarks (one says “Read Banned Books,” the other “Ban the Fascists, Save the Books”) and a sticker that reads “A book worth banning is a book worth reading.” Above is an illustrated edition of Suzanne Collins’s “The Hunger Games.” Some books on our banned books display! These titles include “The Witches” by Roald Dahl, “The Giver” by Lois Lowry, “The Perks of Being a Wallflower” by Stephen Chbosky, “Speak” by Laurie Halse Anderson, “The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo” by Stieglitz Larsson, “The Handmaid’s Tale” by Margaret Atwood, “Fledgling” by Octavia Butler, and “Animal Farm” by George Orwell.

Someone at the American Bar Association ate their Wheaties this morning.
ABA It has been three weeks since Inauguration Day. Most Americans recognize that newly elected leaders bring change. That is expected. But most Americans also expect that changes will take place in accordance with the rule of law and in an orderly manner that respects the lives of affected individuals and the work they have been asked to perform. Instead, we see wide-scale affronts to the rule of law itself, such as attacks on constitutionally protected birthright citizenship, the dismantling of USAID and the attempts to criminalize those who support lawful programs to eliminate bias and enhance diversity. We have seen attempts at wholesale dismantling of departments and entities created by Congress without seeking the required congressional approval to change the law. There are efforts to dismiss employees with little regard for the law and protections they merit, and social media announcements that disparage and appear to be motivated by a desire to inflame without any stated factual basis. This is chaotic. It may appeal to a few. But it is wrong. And most Americans recognize it is wrong. It is also contrary to the rule of law. The American Bar Association supports the rule of law. That means holding governments, including our own, accountable under law. We stand for a legal process that is orderly and fair. We have consistently urged the administrations of both parties to adhere to the rule of law. We stand in that familiar place again today. And we do not stand alone. Our courts stand for the rule of law as well.

A lot of people don’t understand why I’m obsessed with books. I don’t understand why they aren’t.

This is your reminder to sign up for a library card! Libraries are the coolest and have so many resources (not just books!)

Library tip: need a place to study? To hang out? To rest? Visit your local library. Libraries are one of the few true third spaces left where you aren't expected to spend money while there. Enjoy some quiet time surrounded by books and community. #booksky 📚💙 #libsky

Just a reminder. The library is free to use. Free to check out books and DVDs. Free to take your kid to Story Time. Free to ask a question. Free to sit quietly for a minute. Or an hour. #supportyourlocallibrary

You won't believe this. My team and I make this show called SciShow that works hard to be rigorous and accurate while also being appealing and entertaining.

We reach a LOT of people every year with episodes about crabs and neutrinos and gender and cancer and vaccines.

It's great, I love it.
