BREAKING: In a unanimous decision, a federal court of appeals has ruled that Louisiana's law requiring the Ten Commandments to be displayed in all public school classrooms is unconstitutional.
We’ll keep saying it: Public schools are not Sunday schools.

Wellman: When I served in Iraq.. I heard about how Saddam Hussein divided them. Different sects fought each other. But you know -- Saddam and his family sat laughing at all of them. They divided them against each other and kept their power for 35 years. Does this sound familiar to anybody?

Worth the read
We're no longer the leader of the free world. We're no longer a beacon of democracy and justice. We're no longer the land of opportunity. We're no longer a nation in which no one is above the law. Our myths about ourselves are killing us. What to do?

We Are Not the Nation We Thought We Were
We must see through our myths about ourselves if we are ever to aspire again to greatness

*Of course* advance information on US combat operations is classified. Pretending otherwise is an insult to our troops, who all know this.

The head of our country’s government is in the early stages of consolidating total power. We must of course reject this, but that is not enough. We have to respond by creating a different and better kind of American politics than we have seen before.

Let’s be clear. When the President defies the Supreme Court, it is the role of Congress to remove him from office. Full stop.

Every day there is a new hateful act to contend with, but libraries and museums are really important, and the Trump administration recently dismantled the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS). The ALA has an FAQ and action steps you can take: www.ala.org/faq-executiv...
