Across America and the world, people are realizing it’s not possible to appease America’s dictator. The only way to deal with him is to stand up to him — and the only way to stand up to him is by joining together against him. It's time for a massive general strike across the country.

Also, may I say that I don’t agree with people saying ICE and CBP need “more training.” They’re doing exactly what this administration has trained them to—impose a reign of fear in blue cities. They don’t need more training. They need to be ripped up root and branch.

Here's a small good thing you can do all month long. Two, actually. 1. Like, share, and comment on any library post featuring Pride books or messaging that's positive. You can influence the algorithm for good. 2. Write a letter to your library board thanking the library for Pride displays.
