Summoning excessively armed, militarized police onto college campuses to violently arrest unarmed students engaged in non-violent protest - students surviving and matriculating through the mass shooting generation - is shameful, misguided, and inhumane.

Continuing to boycott @TCGplayer (and parent company @eBay) as I learn that the company has fired Iris St. Lucy in retaliation for her union organizing efforts. #TCGUstrong

[Walker Evans @clobbered]

I support #TCGunion and call on @TCGplayer to end their anti-union campaign. I have stopped buying Magic singles from @TCGplayer and encourage anyone who cares about workers' rights to do the same.

NEW: CMU Professor Dr. Uju Anya, explained to me why she wished Queen Elizabeth II excruciating pain: “I am the child and sibling of survivors of genocide. From 1967-1970, more than 3 million civilians were massacred when the Igbo people of Nigeria tried to form the independent

The stellar Liz Pelly on public library music collections, featuring interviews with some of my favorite collaborators, and me on, uh, yelling at tech CEOs. 🤷‍♀️

It's a great deep dive into some of the most meaningful work I've had the honor to do.

@EclecticRadical @evan_bridges @jentalleydesign @AlexandraErin @moto_librarian @marwilliamson @1mikaelams Just as public transit is better than everyone needing a car, a well-funded library system with access to a few nice (more than just "readable") copies of Brave New World is better than everyone owning their own copy.

@EclecticRadical @evan_bridges @jentalleydesign @AlexandraErin @moto_librarian @marwilliamson @1mikaelams Listen to the professional librarians who are telling you that we have expertise in this area that you lack. You seem to care about equal access to resources - that is literally what libraries are for.

[Walker Evans @clobbered]

@EclecticRadical @Ren_Rant @AlexandraErin @moto_librarian @marwilliamson @1mikaelams Yes, information is an unequally-distributed resource. Deciding that public libraries are the enemy on this issue is inane. If you care about access to information, advocate for library funding rather than fetishizing discarded books that have already served their purpose.

@EclecticRadical @Ren_Rant @AlexandraErin @moto_librarian @marwilliamson @1mikaelams New books, dumbass

[Walker Evans @clobbered]

@EclecticRadical @AlexandraErin @moto_librarian @marwilliamson @1mikaelams Incredible galaxy brain take. Librarians are trained professionals with expertise & experience in their field. They know what they're talking about. Cops are agents of state violence. There's no basis for this absurd comparison.

#MakiyahBryant - a 15 year old black girl in Columbus Ohio was shot after calling the police for help. Just minutes after the #DerekChauvinTrial - Tell me again how this can be "reformed"?

This situation is completely untenable. I don’t know exactly how this plays out but there’s simply no unringing the bell, no going back. There must be sweeping changes— now.

[Don’t Boo…Revolt! @BreeNewsome]

Teenagers are brawling with each other and a fully grown adult agent of the state with a license to kill introduces a gun to the situation and murders someone. Abolish the police.

[Don’t Boo…Revolt! @BreeNewsome]

When you have police officers escalating situations to the point of murder on a daily basis it’s time to abolish policing. The police themselves are a threat to public health and safety. This makes no logical sense.

INBOX: shipment of books from third party providers resumes at the Allegheny County Jail. In a statement also announcing expanded partnership with the Carnegie Library, the County says the temporary ban has been lifted after staff training & new controls to prevent contraband.

Yesterday, a friend of mine who lives on Center Ave in Pittsburgh witnessed the police advancing on and brutalizing PEACEFUL protestors who were out more than an hour before curfew began. She caught the following footage on camera from her balcony.
