Screenshot from Mastodon, white text on black background: Erik Uden @ErikUden@mastodon.de Once libraries are nonexistent any modern fascist movement wouldn't even have to burn books, but flick one switch and they'd be remotely deleted from your Amazon Kindle or similar digital "library".

Homeland Security shows little respect for the Constitution it’s bound by, from the Establishment Clause to Americans’ individual rights.

A federal agency has no business promoting scripture.

Do your job and uphold the Constitution.

Black and white poster with bold text reading: "Mayor Mamdani keep your promise! Fund NYC public libraries at 0.5% of the city budget. For more information visit nycplan.org.

I am wondering if @mayor.nyc.gov is aware that today is #NationalLibrarianDay. A good way to uplift librarians in NYC and all library workers is to pay them more. Stick to your campaign promise and this will be a good start.

Cleanup of Battery Recycling Sites May Lower Childhood Lead Exposure - Eos Unsound recycling of lead-acid batteries pollutes the soil around houses and agriculture fields in developing countries. Soil remediation might help in lowering the blood lead levels of children.
