It's a good day to read and reread Unpresidented by @marthabee.bsky.social

She tried to tell people in 2018, and she deserves a LOT of credit. This YA book is well-cited w plenty of captioned photos. So many direct quotes from the man, it's like an interview at times.

Via @marthabee.bsky.social Do you have small children you'd like to indoctrinate with the idea that it's perfectly normal and wholesome for a niece to visit her brown-skinned gay uncles, their tuxedo cat, and corgi puppy? What about a parrot who belongs to a lesbian couple who are away on a cruise?

We are almost halfway to the goal for the @celestepewter.bsky.social GoFundMe. You know what would be incredible? To get to 60 percent by the end of the day.

Celeste has educated so many of us about political engagement. Can you help? Might you share this post?

It really is. And we need to keep telling the truth. Keep writing the stories. We need to look out for each other. The next few years will be chaos.

I'm hopeful Scholastic can figure it out. I will be sending them an email with ideas. Every year at this time for like three years now, I get sad emails from parents around the world. They need the book.

Trump's hatred of birthright citizenship is 100 percent pure racism against people of color. Without it, his grandparents would not have been citizens. His father wouldn't have been a citizen. His immigrant mother could not have granted him citizenship.

Aw, thanks, Billie. Copies are impossible to come by, or so it seems. Scholastic has failed to reprint--I'm working on a solution.

The immunity decision was ridiculous, unprincipled, made up, and indefensible, but birth citizenship is expressly granted by the 14th Amendment and upheld by the Supreme Court in Wong Kim Ark, 1898, as detailed in my friend @marthabee.bsky.social in her book I AM AN AMERICAN
