Extralibrary Loan: Making the Civic Infrastructure We Need Amid a war on public knowledge, libraries are pushing outward, enlarging the commons through new configurations of civic and creative life.

"The library is not meant to be a node in the just-in-time-economy that puts a rights-restricted copy of 'Abundance' in our AirPods. It’s meant to be an accessible portal to our government, the place we go to access shared knowledge and to make meaning with others."

I have approximately zero following on this app, sharing in the hopes it can get in front of the right person. A man I went to college with’s wife was kidnapped by ICE at a green card hearing, and he’s trying to find a reporter who will speak to him about the situation

Help Rodney Taylor, a Disabled Double Amputee Being Held by ICE Rodney has been in the country more than 40 years. He's in solitary confinement in Georgia, being denied disability accommodations and having his medical needs ignored. He must be released.

Disabled people are particularly vulnerable to abuse under fascism.

ICE has been neglecting the medical needs of detainees.

One disabled immigrant, Rodney Taylor, needs our help.

He's a double amputee who's been in the country since he was two years old. He's being held in solitary:

He is the son of two powerhouse poets, community organizers, activists, and change makers, Amina Baraka and Amiri Baraka, both members of the Black Arts Movement of the mid 1960s to the mid 1970s. Amiri Baraka is often considered the founder of the Black Arts Movement.

The devastating, shortsighted attack on literature continues. List from Magic City Books. Who'd they miss? Note: the small publishers selected here for financial attack include (among other very worthy and important presses) @transitbooks.bsky.social, publisher of 2023 Nobel laureate Jon Fosse.

Musk's Junta Establishes Him as Head of Government Imagining how we'd cover overseas what's happening to the U.S. right now

This is *exactly* how the Musk Coup would have been covered by our news outlets if it was happening in another country.

Instead, all the American press can muster at the moment are euphemisms and sane-washing. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/musk-s-jun...
