On this day Aug 4, 1944: Anne Frank was arrested after 2 years in hiding.

Not by monsters in uniforms but by neighbors.

Today, governors threaten political enemies with removal.
ICE raids target families.
LGBTQ+ people are banned from bookshelves.

Never again means nothing if you stay silent.

Spent a few years working on SNL during this time. He’s a true gentleman.

Republicans in Texas just rolled out their proposed Congressional map that cut 5 Democratic seats out of thin air.

Let’s be clear: these maps are not about representation, it’s a power grab to silence voters and suppress votes.

Text from Mychal reads: “People feel so safe behind their keyboards to attack you when you speak up. Do not let that stop you! Words ARE hurtful, but they ARE temporary. Words of hope for those who need you and your voice are far more lasting. Support is so much louder than toxicity Those libraries I love taught me to speak up for my neighbors who need me. Speak up for Gaza, for Palestine, for Sudan, for the Congo, for FAR too many more people that need us to be their voice, to prove to them they are not unseen 💚” Post as an example for Mychal’s words are: “Bye Mychal. Gaza is a gd war zone not a tourist resort and its every woe is because of Hamas. Grow tf up and learn something in those libraries you love.”

Libraries raised me. Libraries are third spaces. Libraries are so much more than just books… libraries are community. Libraries teach us, encourage us to come together in joy, to come together to help our neighbors. Libraries know there are times where we turn up the volume on our library voice 💚

Donated! 💙
