AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH
Maybe itβs just me, but I would much rather have an entire undocumented immigrant family with two happy trans kids living right next door to me than white supremacists or racist MAGA lunatics who worship their pedophile president any day of the week.
It would be difficult to overstate the influence of Fobazi Ettarh's work on a generation of library workers. Sending love to all in her orbit.
Join me in supporting her family in this difficult time.

1. It was not an accident.
2. It was not a staffer.
3. While the president may have dementia his racism is not due to dementia.
4. He isnβt sorry. He means every racist thought he shares.
5. His base agrees with him.
6. He will do it again.
7. No one in power will hold him accountable.
ICE are running around in the streets using facial recognition on random people and telling anyone filming them they're a domestic terrorist and Democrats solution is to equip every ICE agent with their very own body-worn surveillance camera
Facts. Though my hates for Generative AI in general are pretty effing huge π.
I feel like I shouldn't yell into the void about anything other than abolishing ICE, copaganda, and the fascist regime that is our current federal government, but OH MY GOD I HATE THE AI SUMMARY IN GMAIL SO MUCH. I just keep thumbs downing every one and saying "I DON'T WANT THIS."
I want everyone to understand that Democrats are proposing not one thing that will meaningfully constrain ICE--and several things that will make it worse. But they also have absolutely nothing to say about the massive, daily violence of the DHS bureaucracy. Chris Murphy just ignores this stuff:
After executing Alex Pretti on Saturday, ICE has shifted to primarily targeting bus stops and elementary schools in my community this week. I cannot overstate how much of the ICE activity in my community is just targeting places where little kids are.
The Democrats cannot even bring themselves to talk about reducing the ICE budget (which was TRIPLED out of the blue and no one knows how exactly such sums could ever be spent even on the vast network of concentration camps and private contractors) to, say, its already-record 2024 levels.
The Twin Cities are an encapsulation of how diversity makes us stronger. The news makes it obvious, but if you've never been, it's a really special place.
We are observers, not protestors. We show up to document and film the atrocities ICE is committing. Using 5 year olds as bait. Kidnapping senior citizens. Breaking down doors without warrants. Murdering poets and nurses. Media has all of that information because *observers* were there to document it
Itβs wild that theyβre going to do a cover-up of a murder that the whole world saw play out on video, but thatβs America for ya.
ICE shouldn't exist.
WELP, I guess Iβm awake now. Time to
make some tea, read more of BALDWIN: A LOVE STORY by Nicholas Boggs which is just incredible, btw and then get back to writing.
Iβll keep an eye on Trumpβs moves, but I will not give my day over to him. He doesnβt get to plan my heartβs agenda.
Headline: ProPublica management wants 100% discretion over when and how to use AI Supplementary text: The organization rejected our proposal that ensures staff will not be replaced by AI and requires labeling AI-generated content
1/ At bargaining yesterday, @propublica.org management said that they should have 100% discretion to replace workers with AI and would not commit to labeling future AI-generated content.

To become dependent on ChapGPT is to evacuate yourself from your own life.
YIKES, no thanks. Iβm gonna be alive inside every damn thing I do, even and especially the ish I donβt wanna do.
University-wide AI mandate.
Fake as HELL.
I'm obsessed with this hyperlocal news.
Juicy Kitchen is a wonderful, local Ann Arbor business with the sweetest owners and they need help after a fire. Hope #a2council folks can show them some love. gofund.me/704ee4058
This validated that I am not, in fact, losing my mind. Thank you π.
Fobazi is currently in the ICU and could use your support. Apologies to those I havenβt been able to reach out to yet. You can message me for more info and I will be posting updates to GoFundMe. Please share, send healing thoughts, prayers, etc. β€οΈ -Elena

Fighting Fifth always turns out. Thanks for being such a great councilor!
As the August 5th election nears, we've been getting a lot of questions from patrons who have heard or read false claims about Proposals A&B. So, we've put together this page with the false claims we've heard and the facts that refute them:

The fiscal conservatives in the GOP just added $4 trillion to the deficit to give the wealthiest people on earth a tax cut. The pro-family party just took healthcare away from 17 million Americans to give ICE a bigger budget than Brazilβs military. The single most inhumane bill ever passed.
I donβt think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.
This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.
It is setting up to make whatβs happening now look like childβs play. And people are disappearing.
Almost twice as many people ride the New York City bus every day as live in Wyoming.
