I just found out today is National School Librarian Appreciation Day as a result of some colleagues appreciating us. School librarians need administrators, colleagues, and parents to continue to advocate for all students to even have a library and certified librarian in their school.

Here is my best guidance for action, rendered beautifully by the great John Lithgow. I first published these lessons more than eight years ago, in late 2016. They open the twenty chapters of "On Tyranny: Twenty Lessons from the Twentieth Century."

The Atlantic has now published the Signal texts with attack plans in response to administration denials.
I worked at the Pentagon.
If information like this is not classified, nothing is.
If Hegseth is claiming he declassified this information, he should be shown the door for having done so.
