They don’t ban books about rainbows. They ban books about Ruby Bridges walking to school. About Japanese internment camps. About Stonewall. About redlining. Every banned book is a thread they’re trying to pull before we see the whole tapestry of systemic oppression. #FightBookBans

WE’VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS!
Cory Booker is throwing down—filibustering & standing up to Trump’s authoritarian overreach.
This is what we need—Dems who disrupt, resist, and fight back. Booker’s stand is a rallying cry for all of us to demand better.

Last night I stood up for those who need Medicaid, Medicare, and Social Security. Democrats will never abandon the fight to make sure every American has a safe, healthy, and financially secure life. #ISaidWhatISaid

Green: I will suffer whatever the consequences are because I don't believe in the richest country in the world people should be without good health care. I stood up for my constituents then. I'm standing up for them now. I would do it again.

Happy #Lawyercat Anniversary for all who celebrate! It's been four years since the kitten appeared in my Zoom courtroom, and I released the 48 second video that made the whole world laugh. Here is the full video showing the big reveal at the end (in two parts because Blue sky). Enjoy!

Well, we knew they would blame the plane crash on DEI, and Trump's sycophants will just nod their heads even though it is a nonsensical claim. I don't know how Republicans live with themselves. I really don't. And frankly, most of those Democrats, too, as they put up no resistance.

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent.
Opportunities are everywhere.
Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

The Inspectors General refuse to leave until the action is taken legally, which they do not believe it was, and neither do senators like Chuck Grassley. This is what not backing down looks like.

Watched another school board meeting where fear drowned out facts and personal bias overrode librarian expertise. None of the board members have read the books. Or asked why the books matter. Or listened to the teens who need the books. The frustration is suffocating.

It’s interesting seeing people focus on the fact that he’s an addict and not on the fact that he was physically abusive

When librarians invest their time and expertise to review challenged books, their professional judgment deserves respect. Proud to be part of the Rutherford County Library Alliance and proud to stand with our school librarians whose expertise keeps getting ignored. #ListenToLibrarians #FightBookBans
Last week at the Rutherford County School Board meeting, our board decided to turn their backs on our school librarians and ignore their recommendations on 10 books. The Rutherford County Library Alliance spent the remainder of the meeting standing with our backs turned to them in response.
