I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

Anyone ever say to you when you're talking about banned books some version of, "Well if you want the book, just buy it!" The Freedom to Read Project broke down exactly why that argument doesn't stand up to scrutiny:
What the Library Is For and Why “Just Buy the Book” Gets It Exactly Backwards
Libraries exist to guarantee equal access to ideas; telling families to buy books themselves undermines equity, choice, trust, and opportunity.

We may be publishing a book of federal resignation letters, but we are also an employer. So this is career advice if nothing else:
This Monday is pretty much the last day you can list ICE or CBP on your résumé. Staying into February might make you radioactive for any other roles.

Just finished The Grimoire Grammar School Parent Teacher Association by Caitlin Rozakis. This was a fun story about parents trying to navigate caring for their newly-werewolf daughter that balanced comedy & commentary pretty well but did have a bit of clunky writing. 4.25 stars.

So to recap, since Wednesday:
ICE sent a 5-year old out as bait, took his father, and then sent the 5-year old to one of the worst "detention centers" in the country.
They sent a TWO YEAR OLD to Texas.
Then they assassinated a man in broad daylight.
This is just off the top of my head.
