Even if it takes years, we have to bring EVERYONE who made this happen to justice. No moving on, no letting this go.
Revenge is good enough motivation for me personally, but the nobler and important reason is to ensure that anyone who thinks of doing this again knows they’ll rot in prison for it.
We have heard from migrants subjected to ICE flights that guards/federal agents lay out the WRAP on the tarmac as a threat: Do what we say on the flight or you're gonna get put in a straitjacket.
The mother is an asylum seeker. Her 7-year-old is deaf and didn’t have his hearing aids when he was detained.
Script if you need it:
I’m calling to tell Representative ____ to oppose H.R. 7661. This bill would pressure schools to remove titles that discuss lived experiences that some politicians find controversial. I don’t think trans people are controversial. (contin)
Hard same.
We have officially passed 500 indie bookstores registered for this year's #BookstoreRomanceDay! (For context, last year there were about 600 & we still have five months to go.) Still looking for stores from Rhode Island, Alaska, and North & South Dakota.

We must fight this dangerous expansion of surveillance technology.
Called again and got through to humans in Schumer's and Gillibrand's office right now. Call your senators, friends. Do it today.
Last year when I was checking into a hotel, the desk person was wearing Meta glasses. I kindly asked them to take them off. They were annoyed. I said, “I do not consent to you looking at my credit card and ID with Meta glasses on.” My instincts were correct: www.bbc.com/news/article...

My Aunt Rosalie lived a big life for 94 years. Gymnast, artist, dog lover, library worker, voracious reader, poker player extraordinaire, always up for a party.
Raise a glass in Rosalie's honor. ❤️
