Mad props to @firestorm in #NC for accepting #BannedBooks from #FL and sending them back to FL for anyone who asks. It's a huge good deed.
Furthermore: every person in the photo in this story of them boxing up the books is wearing a mask. All the unmasked photos were taken outdoors. This is what real #inclusion looks like in the age of #COVID.

Marcy Rheintgen, 20, faces a misdemeanor trespassing charge punishable by up to 60 days in jail.

“I wanted people to see the absurdity of this law in practice,” Rheintgen told The Associated Press. “If I’m a criminal, it’s going to be so hard for me to live a normal life, all because I washed my hands. Like, that’s so insane.”
