Not into noble sayings. This is the opposite of business as usual. Please let me know about any protests being planned, any acts of resistance.

Without a doubt.
Anyone expressing surprise about Trump's moves hasn't been paying attention. The worst is yet to come.

Agree. It’s pathetic. Makes me lose all respect.
Can someone tell the Harris campaign to stop sending fundraising emails?
We’d all appreciate it.
We SHOULD be sending y’all our therapy bills for the next 4 years.

Happy to have played a part in making this happen. We’re so proud of you, Derek! Or should I say, Rep. Tran?

It’s like we’re all in a dystopian novel by Ray Bradbury (Fahrenheit 451). I think this just makes people more curious about these books. I wish they would remove one of my books - The 13th Boy (teacher sexual abuse) or Definitely Maybe Not (abortion) are both candidates - go ahead, do it!

Nearly 400 books removed from school libraries in one Tennessee county. Based on my skim of the list, most of them appear to be books by women, authors of color, &/or LGBTQ+ authors.

I hear you, Lisa. We are just at the beginning of something we can’t even imagine.
My old habit of carefully planning for every worst case scenario is not serving me right now.

Feeling dread and deja vu. When Reagan was elected, I had a Federal Poetry grant and two book contracts. First thing he did was cut off the arts. All that mattered was $. We’re there again, but worse. I fear for my daughter (20s), for human rights, for American Freedom. Freedom is everything.
