Once again, public libraries as infrastructure. We need to find them at a MINIMUM of 0.5% of the city expense budget.

Governor Mikie Sherrill says it was “absolutely necessary” for the NJ State Police to attack protesters at Delaney Hall last night. This was in order for NJ State Police to “secure the area outside of Delaney Hall,” “protect public safety, and avoid escalation from ICE.” www.nj.gov/governor/new...
My top priority is keeping New Jerseyans and our communities safe - and an increased ICE surge in the area outside of Delaney Hall is a threat to public safety. We know that lives would be at risk were that to happen. And I will not accept that risk.

That is why last night, the New Jersey State Police Public Safety Response Team acted to secure the area outside of Delaney Hall. This was absolutely necessary to protect public safety, and avoid escalation from ICE. As Americans, we have a right to protest - and we will continue to ensure New Jersey residents can peacefully exercise their First Amendment rights.

Today and going forward, 1 urge everyone who is protesting to do so peacefully in the safe areas, and work together to bring the temperature down. We need to focus on advocating for better conditions for the detainees, for their families, and ultimately, for the closure of Delaney Hall.

Extremely worth noting - the Black Zine Fair was a masks-required event! And hundreds of folks came and wore masks and had a great time! This is a doable thing, y'all!

everything we are seeing now is the consequence of having a political environment in which indifference to the deaths and suffering of other people - even by the state whose supposed responsibility is to safeguard their welfare - is a superpower rather than a political liability

three from a strange day: my mother's almond cake, Sandy Hook, the train into the city
An almond cake, shaped like a ring with one section pulled out, in a suburban kitchen sitting on a cooling rack propped over two upside down mugs and two red-and-green plaid towels beneath a window.A bare tree, close to the ground, backlit by the sun in front of a blue gray sky and a blue gray bay.Sunset through a dirty train window, buildings and infrastructure glowing orange below a dark gray sky.
