Fort Myers FL had best turnout yet!
Books I read in June. I truly enjoyed each one…except 1984 was a bit difficult to get through because it felt too real!

Fantastic turnout in Fort Myers, Florida. In this big retirement area, we had a huge increase in young people and people of color compared to previous. There was also a continuous parade of cars with signs that drove past honking horns.

I never read these kinds of books, but a dear friend sent it to me, so I’m going to give it a shot.

Best turnout in Fort Myers ever. Protesters on both sides of Rt. 41. Lots of appreciation shown by drivers via horn honks, thumbs up, and peace symbols. For a red county, very encouraging.

@booker.senate.gov made history yesterday.
He made genuinely “good trouble.”
During his brilliant record-breaking filibuster, he asked “Where does the Constitution live, on paper or in our hearts?”
All of us are called in our own way to answer that question by our actions, not just our words.

I’m a part time librarian and I just want to echo what I’ve seen other librarians say recently: there is a HUGE uptick in requests for social justice, climate justice, abolition, history, etc books and I just want to say nobody is giving up the fight. If anything people are fighting harder #library
