What you have to understand is that book bans are a *classic* case of survivorship bias.
Some survive, yes. But only if they're lucky OR prepared.
If all of the copies of a book are destroyed, it. is. gone. And you won't know what you've lost.
It'll be absent.

I saw an infographic a couple years ago about how to remove source identifiers from links and why it's important, but I can't find it again and too many people I know are sending me links with them so here's an infographic straight from the oven

Do you use Libby + Overdrive? Act now
On March 14, a Trump EO targeted the Institute for Museum and Library Services (IMLS)
Since that Order, the IMLS has been gutted, turned into a propaganda machine, been subject to federal lawsuits, and targeted for defunding in Trump’s 2026 budget.

In the beginning, the torment nexuses were spaced by twenty four weeks.Then twelve, then six, then every two weeks. The last one, in Grok, was a week. In four days we could be seeing a TN every eight hours until they are coming every four minutes. We should witness a double event within seven days.

I've been banging this drum for years now, I know, but Zohran's Big Night is a clear illustration of the power of giving people a vision of the future that boldly contradicts the rhetoric of Republican fearmongers. Not just "disagrees on policies," but actively paints a different image of the world.

It’s not “public land” either. It’s recently stolen Native land. They stole it from us to say it was for you, couldn’t manage it, and now are selling it to people who want to rape the land.
Please see it for what it truly is. Settler colonialism. “America” has no claim or right to do this.

If you aren’t fighting this public land sell-off attempt with as much vigor as your humanitarian-forward efforts, you have truly *lost the plot.*

The reason we find Sarah @mcbride.house.gov so frustrating is that the gay rights movement has been dragging people like her behind it for decades - the white moderate suddenly realizing they're a minority, begging the rest of us to settle for an absence of tension instead of the presence of justice

this bill needs to DIE, call your senators
The Senate reconciliation bill retains the trans healthcare Medicaid/CHIP ban.
Call your Senators, we still have a good shot at killing this provision.
Hundreds of thousands of people rely on this care.

Why is this article alluding to hyperacusis yet refusing to say anything negative about it. Coward behavior
Cute how they keep inventing new names to help women not realise they’re autistic

NEW: The Supreme Court rejected an unfair rule that students with disabilities must meet a higher legal standard to challenge disability discrimination in schools.
Disability discrimination is illegal, and we have a right to challenge it regardless of where it takes place.

Everything was fine until Trump decided to unleash violent raids w/o grounds in elementary schools, shopping areas, & peaceful public spaces.
ICE then illegally blocked Members of Congress entry into the facilities they are disappearing people into, escalating the situation.
Let’s start there.
