Insanity: The deportation flights Trump used military jets for—that Mexico refused to accept—cost the U.S. up to $852,000 per flight to attempt to deport just 80 migrants at a time. To compare, flights directly chartered by Immigration and Customs Enforcement cost just $8,577.

The past several days have proven without a shadow of a doubt that Project 2025 is real and underway. And those who warned America about it were right.

A federal court has declared that warrantless searches of US person’s communications collected for national security purposes is unconstitutional. Now it’s our job to make sure Congress knows that when they renew this law in a little over a year.

We cannot give into fear, or tyranny. We must work together to fight. We need to stop fighting with those who have differing political ideologies and find the common ground. Unless they are cultists. This is not a left vs. right issue. This is up vs. down. We can do this. #resist #booksky #parable

Reading Parable of the Talents now by Octavia E Butler. Found this passage relevant to our times. Actually this entire book is relevant to our dystopian reality. #booksky #booktok

RESIST. Don't quit. Don't stop fighting. Don't obey in advance. Don't stop calling them out. Keep raising your voices as loudly as you can. Keep organizing your friends, family, everyone. Keep supporting orgs that are leading the fight. RESIST.

No matter where you fall on the TikTok ban, the President undoing by “executive order” a law passed by Congress and upheld unanimously by the Supreme Court is an unconstitutional abuse of power.

Good morning! This is your reminder to support your local library! Get your card and see what resources you have access to from programs and events to seed libraries, maker spaces and digital resources. Libraries are more than *just* books. (Although books are very lovely!)

Moving the inauguration indoors and leaving thousands, with useless “commemorative tickets,” out in the cold, is a preview of how this next administration will operate.

No matter what he says now. Remind them : 'Donald Trump signed an executive order to ban TikTok on August 6, 2020, citing national security concerns.' Now he wants his Tech Bros to buy it so they have the ultimate control of information.

Not to be dramatic, but waking up without TikTok today feels akin to waking up blind. TikTok was my window into this world - a community I spent 4+ years building. The silence is truly unsettling and deafening.

Ok #booksky, let’s talk. 👎🏼Goodreads, owned by Amazon, fuels its monopoly on books. 👍🏼StoryGraph, a Black woman-owned platform, offers an ethical, ad-free alternative with mood-based recommendations, user control over data, and a focus on inclusivity. Support diversity over corporate power!

I wish the media spent half as long on the fact that Donald Trump pardoned Charles Kushner only to appoint him an ambassador as they did bashing President Biden for the Hunter pardon.

Feels like I'm just posting to the void since I'm just getting started here, but why not. I write a weekly newsletter, and this week I write about how far away from reading and critical thinking we’ve come. It's lacking in our education, COVID learning loss, social media attention spans, all of it.

We need to get back to reading and critical thinking

Because 2024 feels different from 2016.
