Excerpt: “The signing of HB119 marks a significant step in safeguarding the rights of readers and ensuring that libraries remain places of free expression” @drtlovesbooks.bsky.social #PublicLibraries
HB119 affirms that library materials should not be removed based solely on the creator’s background or because of political, religious, or ideological objections.
The legislation also protects public & school library workers from retaliation for doing their jobs in accordance with state policy.

It’s not dysfunction. It’s design. The GOP uses a ruthless disinformation playbook to confuse, divide, and exhaust the public. They don’t want you informed—they want you disoriented. Here’s how their machine works—and how we expose it.

114 years ago today the Triangle Fire killed 146 people, mostly young women. In the face of tragedy, labor activists organized. In my piece for @satevepost.bsky.social I talk about how their demand for Bread and Roses shaped the labor movement. 🗃️ www.saturdayeveningpost.com/2025/03/comm...
Common Threads: Bread and Roses — How Working Women Shaped the Labor Movement | The Saturday Evening Post
The idea of “Bread and Roses,” which sought to center self-fulfillment, education, and culture in the struggle for justice, came to define women’s labor activism of the early 20th century.
