Based on the number of cameras set up outside MDC right now I’d guess yes. Talked to a (CNN Romania) reporter there who said he was too, but prob not for another 24 hrs bc he’s still at Guantanamo now.
Come through today from 1-5. I’ll be here tabling with NYC PLAN comrades and there are a dozen other amazing orgs too. Come drop some books, chat with comrades, make a friend, and find a place to plug in! It’ll be good for your spirits!
Love this! Hope it’s okay I made my own web-version I can link to from a QR code. Also, FYI for anyone who is interested, you can buy a super cute sticker printer for $25 online. #TeslaTakedown
Friends of Sunset Park Library is distributing winter care kits at our branch of BPL tomorrow starting at 10:30am and going until 12:00pm or as long as supplies last. There will be hot coffee and red cards too. #Warm4Holidays
Taking my little one to the library tomorrow because we have a new stack of books on hold, but also because it’s Take Your Child to the Library Day. takeyourchildtothelibrary.org
I’m a member of my local friends of the library group (the Sunset Park branch of BPL). We're throwing a fundraising party Friday at Five Boroughs Brewing from 7-10pm. There will be raffle prizes, locally themed trivia, and the brewery is donating $2 from every pint purchased to our local branch.
Dropped off some books at The People’s Library outside BPL Central Library this morning and picked up a new picture book for my little one. This library shouldn’t be closed! Stop cop city and open the libraries.
Friends of Sunset Park Library are having a book sale today from 11-4pm! You can also buy a rad tote bag designed by my neighbor and fellow library friend Yukiko Izumi. $15 each, or “fill as many books as you can in one tote bag" special for $20.

I’m making chocolate chip cookies for my local Friends of the Library bake sale today. Great opportunity to come visit the new Sunset Park branch of Brooklyn Public Library.
I’m reading Sidney Harring’s book Policing a Class Society and learning about the history of police signal systems (call boxes) and patrol wagons, which the author describes as the most important technological innovation until the emergence of the radio equipped patrol car. So many of these in NYC.
For the People has four exciting events this month to help you join the struggle. Here's a checklist to follow while you protect what you care about. Reading a banned book isn't going to save your library, take action! librariesforthepeople.org/fight #BannedBooksWeek 📚
