I’m a part time librarian and I just want to echo what I’ve seen other librarians say recently: there is a HUGE uptick in requests for social justice, climate justice, abolition, history, etc books and I just want to say nobody is giving up the fight. If anything people are fighting harder #library

“He’s unqualified, and I daresay that everybody here knows it.” We need more principled senators like Warnock.

Wealth redistribution will be required for the unity so many of us are looking for. If you are white and well today, are you contributing to mutual aid or reparations? Asking for a friend. And yes, reparations ought to come from the federal government but, well, you know how that's going.
