Another free idea for library friends: organize a historical walking tour of your neighborhood. You can include the history of your library system and how it was founded/funded in the walk. Collect donations from attendees and end at a cafe/bar that donates $1 for each drink sold to the library.

the "addiction" framing insists that its an individual problem and the solution is individual change, because if we recognize that this is systemic and the root cause is drug prohibition, we'd see that the solution is ending drug prohibition and the war on drugs. the solution is systemic change

The existence of definitive empirical studies showing that the nativist narrative is dead wrong hasn’t slowed the spread of the lies… but erasing the studies themselves is another step toward full fascism
THREAD: The Trump administration's DOJ has removed a study from the NIJ website that found that immigrants, and particularly undocumented immigrants, commit crimes at significantly lower rates than U.S. citizens.
The study is at odds with the Trump regime's propaganda about immigrants & crime. (1)

There are basically two groups of students being deported:
a) those who have engaged in political speech, which has gotten the most attention;
b) those who have had minor infractions with the law like a speeding ticket, which is likely the larger group.

This story hasn’t gotten nearly enough attention. It is openly fraudulent what they’re doing.
This is what its like to work in the Trump administration now. When a career official objected to declaring that living immigrants were dead on legal and ethical grounds, security guards went to his office and told him to leave.

Trump administration overrode Social Security staff to list immigrants as dead
A senior executive who objected was marched out of his office and put on leave, while earlier warnings about the agency’s deaths database were ignored.
