Bus drivers refused to transport protestors from last night's Seder in the Streets to the precinct, forcing cops to drive the busses. Power and solidarity to the union bus drivers with @twu100 who refuse to collaborate with the NYPD, which commandeers MTA busses for mass arrests.

This treasure from the @nikkeimuse archives is rare as only a few of photographer Paul Louis Okamura's photographs of Japanese Canadians, like this one of his three daughters, still exist.

On Friday, @planetmoney did an episode on libraries in ebooks.
I waited on listening, knowing I'd have to take notes and rant about it, because most news coverage is so bad on this issue.
Parts are really good. Other parts are... well...
Get your popcorn.

"So, if history is something that is curated and power is something that is constructed, then archivists & those that bolster certain powers by preserving certain histories, have the ability to be facilitators and waymakers rather than gatekeepers and passive participants".

Take a moment today to remember the boundaries that Lee Maracle pushed, & how she schooled many of us (including me) to be more compassionate in the world. I hope you have a book(s) of hers on your shelf to read today. A devastating loss. Please remember the barriers she broke.
