What does a school librarian do? Well, this is part of it... ...and full disclosure, I did have Google Gemini help me with the writing. Created in #Canva #skybrarian @noodletools.bsky.social #infohio #TLSky #LibraryTalk

They are telling you what to expect. Please pay attention. Don't say you didn't know when mass groups are "detained" in these "detention" camps. #alligator #alcatraz #detentioncamp #ICE www.wfla.com/news/florida...

Article quote reads: Don’t let Florida be the only state,” DeSantis said. “We’ve got, very red states that should be doing this just as much as Florida is doing. That will increase their numbers, and then what happens is you’ll have a lot of people that will deport on their own because they don’t want to end up in an Alligator Alcatraz or some of those other places. So, I think this is a model, but we need other states to step up.”

“We voted for mass deportation, and we voted for retribution from the DOJ, and that’s what we got,” said Enrique Tarrio, former chairman of the Proud Boys. “Actions have consequences for them, and that’s the consequence for us. This is a testament to how good of a governor we have and Ron DeSantis and how good of a president that we have in Donald J. Trump.”

So sad when the purpose of the LOC is not exactly that of a regular public library. It's so much more important. www.loc.gov/about/

This is fun!

Typed "don't look a raptor in the eye meaning" into google and it was explained to "avoid direct confrontation or appearing aggressive" and then goes on to justify/explain this meaning, with the cultural context being explained as the behavior of raptors

I can assure you *he who shall not be named* has no idea how a parliamentary system works. He clearly believes US democracy doesn't work either

Long processes start while everyone watches and no one is connecting the dots History is clear in retrospect, but history is happening every day. Are you watching now?

Who was prepared to believe that millions of people were being seized for no reason whatever and led to slaughter by multiple means?
Who was prepared to believe that a whole people was being led to destruction at the diabolical will of a gang of contemptible criminals?
Who was prepared to believe that a whole people was to be exterminated to compensate for failure in a struggle for power and supremacy.
Who was prepared to believe that a people would blindly obey a law leading to death and destruction?” noted Załmen Gradowski in the Auschwitz camp.

My college age daughter even colored the driveway in a show of solidarity (and frustration)
