Ways to fight back through self and community care using the public library.
1. Go to the nearest library and create or update your public library card account. Tell a coworker, friend, or family that you are doing so and ask them to join you.

Like Adams, he also broke his promise of 1% for parks, which appear to be allocated only 0.51% in this preliminary budget.

It’s not just a broken promise, it’s even worse than Adams’ percent for libraries in the FY 2026 preliminary budget.

He promised to end the budget dance over libraries and committed to at least 0.5% of the total city expense budget for libraries in every financial plan released during his administration, but libraries only get 0.39% here.

While a candidate, @mayor.nyc.gov pledged to commit 0.5% of the city’s budget to public libraries.
Unfortunately, Mayor Mamdani has broken this promise in his preliminary FY27 budget, released yesterday, where he allocated 0.39% to libraries.
This amount is well below the promised 0.5%

I’ve wondered why WEXMAC TITUS hasn’t gained more mainstream traction, given CNN first reported on it in October. Is it too esoteric? Does it not seem as bad because it not as flagrantly illegal? Maybe.
But it's worth understanding & it’s important for the Trump administration to know that we know.

The Dept. of War started announcing WEXMAC TITUS awardees in September, and the most recent list dropped on Friday.
One new vendor is GEO Group, the private prison company that already runs some of ICE's most brutal prisons. CoreCivic, another private prison group, was an earlier awardee.

Perhaps most telling is that by signing onto the WEXMAC TITUS program, vendors are contractually not allowed to refuse ICE jobs.
“So if there was a US citizen—a baby, or someone sick that clearly shouldn’t be there—the contractor can’t say they don’t want to take them," a fed worker told me.

ICE has purchased 11 warehouses for a sum of $697.4 million in funds from the billions they received in Trump’s funding bill. (That’s a net gain of 34k beds.)
WEXMAC TITUS has a $45 BILLION ceiling to outfit these warehouses and *many* more.

The Worldwide Expeditionary Multiple Award Contract (WEXMAC) program was created so the Navy could quickly respond in the wake of international natural disasters, pandemics, etc.
There were 26 designated regions—until last year when they added #27: TITUS (Territorial Integrity of the United States)
