Recently, my book THEY CALLED US ENEMY was banned – again – in Tennessee. Book bans are out of control. Huge parts of American history are being restricted. To join me in standing up for the freedom to read, go to pen.org/action. @penamerica.bsky.social @topshelfcomix.bsky.social @idwpublishing.com

Today, the Trump administration announced an abrupt halt to federal funding for all grants, loans, and other federal financial assistance. One thing is clear: Donald Trump’s actions do nothing to help students learn and grow. He is focused on an extreme agenda designed to sow chaos and divide us.
