Why read books? Because there's a book for EVERYONE out there. And once you find the right book - reading will change your life forever! #literacy

They got so mad that it became socially taboo to use a handful of racist, sexist, homophobic, and ableist slurs, that they took over the federal government just so they could ban the words people use to express how racism, sexism, homophobia, and ableism work and can be dismantled.
The Trump regime expands its discouraged (BANNED) words across federal agencies. The list is long

My favorite childhood book - I remembered that Judy was so lucky to live above an ice cream parlor. I didn’t remember that she stood up to her racist school friends. Now I love this book even more for teaching me to do the same.

Many of us are echoing @timothysnyder.bsky.social's lesson in On Tyranny, "Do not obey in advance.”

A no less vital admonition that deserves attn:

STAND OUT

“...without that unease, there is no freedom. The moment you set an example, the spell of the status quo is broken, and others will follow."
