It would be a shame to encourage folks to use banned book lists to do strange things like
-check them out regularly at the library
-request the library order them if they don’t have them
-buy them
-start or support banned book clubs
-organize a banned book kids story time
A real shame

Trump and the GOP are trying to repeal a Biden admin rule that requires lead water pipes to be replaced.
Tens of millions of people, including children, would continue to have contaminated drinking water if the rules are revoked.
So the GOP is the party of lead poisoning now?

US government would be prohibited from ever mandating lead pipe replacement or lowering lead limits in water

Today is one year on since this little six year old was killed (my daughter's age) - and then so were the two brave medics who came to rescue her, as agreed by the IDF, as she cowered in her family car with her family dead around her.
I will never forget this story.
