the Brooklyn public library just digitized almost 1,000 newspapers from 55 NYC high schools, including...Bernie Sanders'!
god bless libraries.
Dec. 1958: "Bob Rosenbush and Bernie Sanders, two of the team's most consistent runners, have been chosen to act as co-captains"
March 1959: Bernie fulfills campaign promise for an "alumni all-star game" w/ proceeds going to "the school's adopted Korean child" [??]. Bernie supporters will love this line: "Bernie Sanders made a campaign promise to bring back the stars, and that is exactly what he is doing."
October 1958: honestly, Bernie seems like he was pretty good at cross country. "....miler Bernie Sanders. With these four to spearhead a powerful assault aided by the rest of the strong team, Madison should prove to be a rough assignment for any opponent."
Nov. 1958: PSAL City Championship Meet "Out of 50 schools we finished in 8th place with Bernie Sanders and Lou Howort, the lone scorers."

News: Warren's Nevada team in tumult as 6 staffers, all women of color, have departed the roughly 70-person campaign in the final stretch w/ complaints of a toxic work environment in which they felt tokenized and w/ state senior leadership at loggerheads. politico.com/news/2020/02/0…
“During the time I was employed with NV for Warren, there was definitely something wrong with the culture,” said Megan Lewis, who joined the campaign in May and departed in December.
Another recently departed staffer, granted anonymity because she feared reprisal, echoed that sentiment. “I felt like a problem — like I was there to literally bring color into the space but not the knowledge and voice that comes with it.”

this AM Bernie co-chair @ninaturner w/ op-Ed in SC
“Biden didn’t just vote for bills designed to prevent black students from accessing white schools: in a series of personal letters he actively courted pro-segregation senators to support the legislation”
thestate.com/opinion/articl…
Op-Ed hed is also not subtle: “While Bernie Sanders has always stood up for African Americans, Joe Biden has repeatedly let us down”
You can see it from the script too, but seems like Sanders going into the final stretch on the attack (against everyone)
op-Ed has kitchen sink vibes:
“Biden facilitated the public degradation of Anita Hill, an esteemed professor already victimized by a powerful man.”
“Biden echoed former Pres. Ronald Reagan’s dishonest “welfare queen” language”
“Biden opposes Dem efforts to legalize marijuana”

Scoop: Bernie stealthily goes negative on Warren w/ a volunteer script to tell Warren-leaning voters that she only appeals to the "affluent"/"highly-educated" &
"She's bringing no new bases into the Dem Party" (I re-typed script below to protect sourcing) politico.com/news/2020/01/1…
“I like Elizabeth Warren. [optional]” the script begins. “In fact, she’s my second choice. But here’s my concern about her.”
Bernie camp didn't challenge the authenticity of the script but declined to comment. Warren camp declined to comment.
should have been in 1st tweet but WITH @HOLLYOTTERBEIN. (follow!)
The script also takes aim at Biden: “he doesn’t really have any volunteers” and that “no one is really excited about him.”
Plus attacks Pete for low African American and youth support
Biden camp responds

LIbrarian twitter is all in a tempest in a teapot again about the boundaries of public library service, sparked by a statement by @JustinLibrarian that people wanting to work in libraries in 2019 need to be "everything to every community member." Here's the thing: HE'S RIGHT.
Did you read @EricKlinenberg's PALACES FOR THE PEOPLE, and did it resonate with you? Libraries are one of the only, if not the only, pieces of social infrastructure we have here in the US. Our professional mandate is free and open access.
In pub libs, we have no control over who walks in the door, and we shouldn't. The very nature of our customer base means we have to be ready for anything. We need our toolbox to be full of resources so we can support & connect our communities. That's the work we've always done.

Protest is taking place outside @Essex_CC ahead of special mtg about future of library services in the county. Mtg starts at 10am.

Protesters oppose any library closures & say they want to turn them into community hubs.
The Special Meeting on the future of library services in #Essex has begun @Essex_CC.

We start with 30mins of public Qs, each person has 3mins to ask a Q.
Ros Scott from #Wivenhoe asked a Q about whether the council has done an equality impact assessment of the impact of library closures on women? She says twice as many women use tier 4 libraries (which are set to close) compared to men.

time for a year in review! those of you who subscribe to my tinyletter (or even just follow me #onhere) might have seen me handwringing about freelancing, precarity. I learnt a lot this year—thanks in large part to @studyhallxyz which I highly recommend joining!—including the
simple fact rates aren't set in stone. you can—should!—ask for more. you might not always get it, but sometimes you will and it can make a big difference. this is one of those things that ~everyone already knows~ but I'd been doing this for a while and totally didn't!
this might be a terrible idea, but i'm going to be including what I was paid for each of these—transparency is so important in this industry and also so rare. when info is shared those who need it the most can rarely access it (though s/o to @WhoPaysWriters here!!)
