It was never just about schools, it was never just about libraries, and it isn't actually about the books.

It's about finding a way to banish entire people, entire ideas, out of society, back into the closet or worse.

The U.S is the wealthiest country in the history of the world. We should not have the highest rate of child poverty of nearly every major country on earth. We should have the lowest.
 
It's time to end this international embarrassment & create an economy that works for all.

Transgenic means that genes from 1 organism have been put into another. We make transgenic mice to understand how genes influence biological processes. We make transgenic plants to make them more nutrient rich. We make transgenic bacteria so they make medicine for us. It's wide-ranging & v. useful.

Listen to your children read. Read to your children. Read alongside your children. Take them to libraries. Talk about what reading means to you & what it can unlock.
Tell them it doesn’t matter if it’s comics, magazines or books as long as they’re engaged with the written word. #WorldBookDay

The economics profession presents an idealised version of the economy, as beautiful as Dorian Gray’s unchanging face.

The actual economy is increasingly ugly, like his portrait: marked by oligarchs and the underclass, the looting of poor countries, and the industrial-scale gobbling up of the planet

So they removed the black chairman of the Joint Chiefs in the middle of his 4-year tour, without cause, and they're seeking to replace him with a white **retired** Air Force three-star general who lacks the requisite experience as a service chief or combatant commander? Huh, how about that

Please talk with your loved ones about Ruby Bridges. Read “I Am Ruby Bridges” by Ruby Bridges 💛

The first Black child at an all-white public elementary school in Louisiana. She was only six-years-old when she made history marching into that school.

Ruby Bridges is living history. She's only 70!

In 2019, RFK Jr visited Samoa to spread anti-vax lies, spurring a measles outbreak that led to the deaths of 83 people - mostly children.

We can’t let that tragedy repeat in Texas. The MMR vaccine is 97% effective at preventing measles. Let’s stop the spread.

If you dis not know Audre Lorde (1934–1992) was a poet, essayist, librarian, feminist, and equal rights activist. #BlackHerStoryMonth
I can think of no more important insight for our times than that of Audre Lorde: "My silences had not protected me.
Your silence will not protect you."

This is where we are now: An elementary school at Fort Campbell has removed all books from its library that so much as *allude* to slavery or the civil rights movement.

I keep thinking about how DC did a story arc where Lex Luthor was elected POTUS and he divested himself from all his private business interests when he took office because even a comic book supervillain had higher ethical standards than the current administration.
