Here is my original article giftarticle.ft.com/giftarticle/... Ephemeral messages remove scrutiny from government
Immigrants & asylum seekers are not our enemies. They are not responsible for the austerity, privatisation, erosion of civic life, thinning of democracy and concentration of power we suffer. But they're being punished for these things. Punished at the behest of the very people who *are* responsible.
An event is planned to be hosted in London proudly promoting the sale of land on illegal settlements in the occupied West Bank.
This is obscene. I've called on @london.gov.uk and @yvettecooper-mp.bsky.social to stop the event and for this govt to take real action on illegal settlements.
Some great news!
Correctional Services Canada has reversed their decision about the removal of librarians from federal prisons!
Advocacy works!

This is kind of cool. I received an email from a librarian from Tennessee who is visiting Canada and wants to meet me! She likes the Society of American Archivists Lunch and Learn webinars that the committee I chair organizes.
Also, visit Canada if you are a librarian or archivist!
BREAKING MS NOW:
ICE has detained over 500 babies and toddlers under Trump.
On an average day, ICE has 25 children aged 3 or younger in custody, according to joint research by MS NOW and The Marshall Project.
Ayanna Pressley on ICE prisons: "4,000 children under the age of 18, 20 infants - forced behind the wall by this cruel administration. The lawful maximum time is 20 days. We have 9 year olds having to advocate for themselves. If you're not working to close Dilley, you are complicit in child abuse."
