Release is step one.
Step two is justice for Rümeysa Öztürk—justice in the form she needs and articulates. She is owed a tremendous amount for the violation of her rights.

Just in case anyone's wondering how bad she's lying: the only people who can check books out of the LOC are congressional staff.
Library cards for use of the research centers are only available to people over the age of 16, and researchers under 18 need permission from a parent or guardian.

The library and the post office are the only two systems we have that circulate things widely and to everyone, no matter who they are or what they believe. The library is the only one that, for now, is not forced to pay for itself at point of sale. Attacks on IMLS are attacks on every one of us.

Exactly, the core message of far-right populism that all of your problems are the fault of women, queers and racial minorities.
That doesn't mean every supporter is a vicious bigot, but it does mean they find that message appealing, plausible or harmless.

New York's (de)congestion pricing, which charges $9 to drive into Manhattan below 60 St, has reduced traffic, increased ridership, reduced subway crime, and is raising funds to fix the decaying transit system. Rare for a public policy to have this many benefits!
EXCLUSIVE: New York’s congestion pricing plan raised $48.6M in tolls during its first month, a strong start that exceeded expectations. The revenue figures, expected to be released publicly on Monday by the Metropolitan Transportation Authority, are the latest sign that the tolling plan is working.
