I am resisting in place. I won’t march, and I already hold public office, it’s called Public Librarian. I make queer and trans people feel at home and change their name in the catalog and if my coworkers change it back, I change it again. I make rainbow brochures and when they get stolen and trashed I make more. I put book challenge info on the website. I’m safe zone trained and in the trenches. We may need extra funding soon so please remember and support us.

@jillrhudy Keep on being an important person in those folks lives. My late wife was a teen librarian and when she passed in April her memorial was filled with her teen patrons and their parents sharing how much she meant to them and how safe and included she made them feel.

It's a tough job and important. Stay strong.

@jillrhudy @erosdiscordia Is it true that libriarians keep some books on paranoia near the front desk? So if some one comes in and asks for one, you can lean over and whisper: “They are right behind you”

@jillrhudy Heroic. I am a white cisgender older male and I'm pro-freedom and anti-censorship. Just been reading _That Librarian_ ( Amanda Jones, Bloomsbury 2024). It's a hard but necessary story. I also visit my local library regularly. Librarians are the *best*.

@n_dimension there is this tunnel under my church that dates from 1864 that was definitely used for something. Maybe I should stash some blankets under there before choir practice if someone will show me where the secret entrance is. You know, just in case.

I know you jest, but I think that it might become useful under Трамп.

Couple of 2nd blankets.
A gallon of water, some sardine cans in a bucket.

At worst some homeless person may enjoy a night of full belly.
At worst folk on the run from Трамп purity police may find a refuge there before the next hop to Canada or Mexico.

@jillrhudy You are a true ally. Have librarians talked about what to do if ICE tries to check all the brown people and arrest some?

You could give out red cards with what to do. Some states have hotline numbers to volunteer lawyers too. Librarians are in a good position to video the whole interaction

Red cards are generic, available in many languages. You can make your own with the text.

@jillrhudy The Red Card organization has artwork ready to be printed out for free.

Here's the link to the artwork in English and many languages.

Maybe print out some other languages too, depending on who's in your community

Maybe display the Spanish version of the How to use your red card poster. It's a link in the middle of the page

It's time critical to get the info out to everyone. Thank you for helping!

Show threadLisaHJan 25, 2025

@jillrhudy Your folks could print out the poster and role play with them so they won't freak out if ICE stops them on the street. So they will have practiced staying calm and saying I don't want to answer questions and the rest of the right replies.

Plus it would make your folks feel like they're helping

I am so angry about all of this I can't see straight
