Today & tomorrow, activists of the Free Libraries Network will represent grassroots libraries & their members from across India at the #IndianLibraryCongress in Delhi. They will talk about the power of libraries when they are made free & non-exclusionary for all.

Let's forget the theory and political analysis for a moment and look on the bright side: DOGE's 'What did you do last week' email just reminded American workers that Elon Musk is the kind of boss we all snicker at bc they are such colossal, clueless *jerks*.

If the economy runs up against the limits it seems to be approaching (i.e., over-production; falling rate of profit; environmental catastrophe; rising world unemployment) rich liberals will have a choice: wealth & power or freedom & justice. We know where Jeff Bezos stands

This was a really funny read

The US intervened in foreign elections at least 128 times between 1946 and 2014, to sway outcomes in its own interests, usually to prevent left-wing parties from coming to power. Link in next tweet.

Jason Hickel #StopCopCity It’s not even “Free Speech for me but not for thee.” The US itself hasn’t had Free Speech since the Espionage Act of 1917. But for it, America might’ve had peace, strong unions, real civil rights, more equality & more political parties. #RepealEspionageAct #1AOverEspionageAct

A university degree is a qualification, not a morality clause. A University revoking degrees for 'wrong think' makes a total mockery of its mission. This is also the most authoritarian 'right-woke' nonsense I've come across in a while. 1/

There's so much bad news in the world, and then there are these three free libraries in Delhi where everyone & all ideas are welcome. We're not great at raising money, but that's bc we spend all of our energy matching people with people and books-- please donate :-)

This fundraiser is focused on making sure seniors have the space, access & resources they need to be full participants in TCLP libraries... ...and when young people see seniors in libraries, they learn to expect a lifetime of reading--please help! thecommunitylibraryproject.org/donate-to-us/

If you love books and are in Delhi, you don't want to miss this... AnnieZaidi is an important writer, and she's launching her book at The Community Library Project because she loves libraries! Register: forms.gle/7FYXoBYYhqnHes…

Reminder. Doing this today

I'm not a Catholic, but I married one & attended mass for 10 yrs. Today, we've lost a great & humble leader who understood Jesus' radical message: love for all, 'including those who are different than ourselves, or who come from distant lands'. Pope Francis--¡Presente!

My middle child who has worked for four years in the University of Oregon library, is on strike with thousands of other student workers, and I'm so proud. University of Oregon isn't bargaining in good faith--hasn't even agreed to arbitration for harassment & discrimination. Spread the word!

ICYMI: May Day was never just a celebration, a rally, or a march. It was also a day for workers to show their power. And it can be again. thenation.com/article/activi…

My child's on strike with thousands of UAW student workers at University of Oregon -- Teamsters have been honoring their picket lines...these young workers are learning a powerful lesson in solidarity--you take one of us on, you take all of us on! Hats off to Teamster drivers everywhere!

Edit: Admin at University of Oregon is disrupting the lives of student workers by refusing to bargain in good faith. (This kind of anti-union story is as old as unions... we need a strong labor movement now, more than ever!)
