So not the librarians or teachers or drag queens? The child of a prominent member of the Genital Obsessed Party? Wild.

Libraries are free speech repositories. If a politician can control what is offered, so can the next politician with opposing views. It's ridiculous. Let people read.

If libraries are "government speech," then the government has multiple personality disorder. 🫤 Should the library change with every new party voted in? It doesn't, and it never has, because it isn't government speech!

I didn't notice that Haiti suddenly became safe to return to. (It didn't.)

It took some time for public libraries to desegregate, still longer to represent all ages and all segments of society in its books. We aren't going back.

You might be cool, but you're not librarian providing book recs in VOGUE cool But Martha is 🤘

Local students from the two local high schools walked out against ICE yesterday, meeting up in our town square. This sign is so damn good.

Thrilled to announce that Amanda Jones @librarianjones.com has prevailed in her latest court battle against Michael Lunsford & Citizens for a New Louisiana. In a unanimous decision the LA Supreme Court has declined to hear Lunsford's request for dismissal, leaving the 1st Circuit's ruling intact.

1. It was not an accident. 2. It was not a staffer. 3. While the president may have dementia his racism is not due to dementia. 4. He isn’t sorry. He means every racist thought he shares. 5. His base agrees with him. 6. He will do it again. 7. No one in power will hold him accountable.

The IMLS propaganda machine is in full swing. buttondown.com/wellsourced/...

Super grateful to Jim Obergefell for still speaking out about this issue. Who hates book bans more than librarians? We, the people!

What began as a slow trickle of propaganda has become an all-out flood of it. How and where the regime has taken over IMLS to fuel their priorities at the expense of taxpayers, civilian federal workers, and public goods.

Hey, Ohio, we know you love your libraries, but some of your state legislators don't. They are trying to push something that is unconstitutional, and will cost Ohioans a lot in legal fees. Tell your legislators NO OVERRIDE ON THE LIBRARY BUDGET BILL. NO HIDING BOOKS!

This is fucking terrifying.

Let me walk you through the various possible explanations for Trump's invasion of Venezuela and see which ones hold water. (spoiler: the good faith explanations don't, the corrupt ones do)

This isn't just about Florida. It is about a model that far-right legislators would like to copy in nearly half of the states in the country.

The phone number for the U.S. Capitol switchboard is (202) 224-3121.

When outside groups pressure school boards that lying about state law is the "Christian" thing to do... 🤦‍♂️

Congratulations to Amanda Jones, whose defamation lawsuit is settled on her terms: $1 (admits liability) and a public apology. Poor thing, watch how many takes it took him to spit it out! Brava, Amanda, who has gone on to acclaim, while this guy is, and rightly so, in the pits.

Same thing with book bans. It isn't about one book that offends you. It's about the First Amendment. If you remove that one book, you are "woefully naive."

Bravo! Right at M4L's doorstep, this Florida judge says everything that librarians have said right along: the books aren't "porn."

You’ll notice that republicans had no problem fleeing DC to avoid voting on the Epstein files to protect the convicted felon in the White House but are now threatening Texas Democrats for fleeing the state to stall them from corruptly gerrymandering the state. Evil scumbags.

How does the legislature renege on its agreement (the Fair School Funding Plan), which was instituted because its underfunding violated the Ohio constitution??

He’s not gonna like this.

Reason number 274 as to why generative AI is not ready. (Reason #1 is that bad information can kill people.)

Texas and Florida have experienced most of the book bans in the country. Texans pushed back where it counts: the ballot box. MAGA legislators, take note.
