Reminder that IMLS supports Libby and Interlibrary Loan, so if you like things like rural borrowers having the same access as city residents and immunocompromised people being able to still use their library despite ableds demanding libraries open without masks…time to push back.

There are more than 30 intranasal and pan-coronavirus vaccines at various stages of human trials. Some have the potential to come to market this year but with the US having no interest I really do not know how many companies will want to continue. We are/were so damned close.

We have yet to receive adequate information from Homeland Security about the recent news of Minnesota students being detained by ICE. Snatching up students who come here legally to work hard and get an education does not make you tough on immigration. We need answers.

I’m grateful for anyone who is trying anything using any leverage or platform or skill set they have to palliate the unfolding disaster we are in the midst of. No one thing is going to work. Everything together might. So thanks @corybooker.com 🙏🏼

Cory Booker started a marathon speaking session two hours ago, and neither the NYT nor WaPo--which are addicted to "live" coverage of the tiniest hiccups of news--have the news on their homepage as of 10:15 p.m. ET. To its credit, however, CNN's website puts it front and center.

Now they are trying to pretend like they were never planning to close the offices." popular.info/p/how-the-so...

The US has now sent at least 278 men to the CECOT prison in El Salvador. The courts have already ruled twice that they were not granted due process under the law. We need to (1) remedy this immediately, (2) stop further such actions, (3) hold accountable those who were responsible.

I’m working on a longer thread on this, but to be very clear, we do not issue social security numbers (SSNs) to undocumented immigrants or foreign workers. If they have an SSN, they are documented. They may be a refugee or asylum seeker or have Temporary Protected Status. But they are documented.

Yes I know the 22nd amendment only says “election” but its whole point was to put term limits on serving as president; it didn’t say more because no one thought the country would ever become so craven; we don’t do that here. These quislings are going to “well actually” us into a banana republic.
