Is there any centralized resource/calendar for protests? I would love to know what might be near me (in the boonies) but I have some time coming up and I would also like to know about events in bigger cities I could travel to.

The Department of Education now has a reporting website for DEI violations in schools. Would be terrible if it was inundated with incidents from teen/high school movies!

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.”

The resistance will bring down Musk and Trump. Congress, wake up before your power is gone. The GOP begging Trump to release money to their states is pathetic—stand up to this tyranny. Congress controls the purse strings.

10 hours without an @altnps.bsky.social update is making me a little anxious. You all ok (I mean… I know you’ve been better)? Hoping you’re just getting some rest.

As Trump tries to dismantle the Department of Education, remember that his plan to cut the corporate tax rate to 15% would give the 100 largest corporations a tax cut larger than the entire department's K-12 budget.
Really think about how twisted this all is.

I have never understood women who champion right-wing ideologies. It’s just a matter of time before those same beliefs are used against you.

I've seen a lot of posts lately saying that to support a library, you should get a card. Other things you can do:
1. Be promiscuous in using that card
2. Go to board meetings
3. Join the Friends
4. Demand the books that represent you, you can challenge absent books as much as present ones
5. Donate

Hey kidlit writers, there is a market out there for Christmas/Holiday themed chapter books for middle grade/tween readers that are not romance books. Every year I get requests from the 4th-8th graders for these titles and I have very few to offer them!
