Rise up, Librarians, the library on fire.

Rise up, Librarians, the library on fire.

The JFK library was closed today, due to an executive order.

In that library is a dictionary, and in that dictionary is the definition of the word "coup," if only we could read it...

Thanks, Boston, for showing up in the 1000s, despite gale-force winds & temps in the negatives. The general consensus was: If you don't respect existence, please expect Resistance.

Billy Bragg - Battle of Barking

We'll definitely be singing this at today's (freezing cold) demonstrations in Boston, esp. the refrain of "No pasaran, no pasaran... We ran the fascists out & we'll do it again tomorrow." Billy Bragg has truly carried the torch of Woody Guthrie into the 21st century.

Bostonians, here's a link to the lyrics for anyone who'd care to join The Enormous Chorus at Monday's protest. Feel free to bring your favs. We'll gather at 12pm at the RG Shaw monument across from the Statehouse. Be it 2 or 20 of us, we will lift up our voices.

I keep reminding myself that tho I need to use historical lessons to fuel me in this fight, I needn't assume that the situation is doomed to repeat History entirely. I'm trying to draw upon history as impetus but pausing my mind before it falls into paralyzing Fatalism. This works for a good minute.

I revere all orgs & individuals who are finding ways to defend our access to crucial information & resources (foremost among them, the folks at the Internet Archive). As an archivist, I am doing everything in my power to make visible my resistance to the removal of Truths I hold to be self-evident.
