If you want to know more about Sam's case. Follow the local news. They are gendering him correctly and speaking with local LGBT+ people. I'll start a thread here of stories on the case from my local news.

Libraries aren't just books. They provide gathering places, free internet, and programs like story hours and classes and films. Using your library demonstrates to your local government its importance to your community and can affect funding decisions.

There are almost as many survival fundraisers from Americans in my timeline as there are from Palestinians. I'm not saying this to shame you, I just really want Americans to understand the imperial boomerang. What they do to others they'll eventually do to you.

To be absolutely clear on this, one of our volunteers received a letter from a cabinet minister acknowledging the contents of the Discord leaks, including comments talking about serious abuse. The government knows exactly who they are including in these consultations.

My terrorism class finished a section on jihadists and is now discussing white nationalists, and it occurred to me that in some states (Florida? Texas?) I might not be allowed to teach about the latter, since it mentions race, and doesn't balance it out with pro-white-nationalist-terrorism readings.
