This is absolutely absurd. That we're allowing this incredibly public coup to take place.

"Until I feared I would lose it, I never loved to read. One does not love breathing." - Scout Finch, protagonist in Harper Lee's "To Kill a Mockingbird"

It's almost impossible to understand why... or to find any legitimate reasons for any action taken by the Trump administration.

Cutting the arts, cancer research, DEI programs, holidays that highlight the sheer variety of people in this country....does nothing to help anyone, or to save money. But as Joyce Vance says, the hypocrisy is amazing...

Progress!

@rbhubbell.bsky.social says it’s time for the Dem MOC to implement a Shadow Cabinet. @timothysnyder.bsky.social has been sounding the alarm to do this. Robert’s suggestions who should be on it are in his article. We can add to it. @repjasmine.bsky.social comes to mind. Let’s do this! 202-224-3121.

We have an opinion about a lot of things happening now, but we DEFINITELY have an opinion about the ARTS. Say what??? www.thewrap.com/donald-trump...

This is the most important story in the United States right now. www.wired.com/story/treasu...

Today the SC State Board of Education BANNED 4 more books from ALL schools in SC. This is outrageous and it will continue. We must all stand up to protect our students & their right to read. One parent challenged these books. This is from our friends at FABB - always there supporting our students:

Supporting authors during this time of book challenges and bans is so important. Jodi Picoult's book, Nineteen Minutes, was the most banned book of 2024. Thank you for continuing to write about important human stories and for supporting the youth activists in our film! @jodipicoult.bsky.social

The freedom to read is so important...it's worth fighting for.

Our film talks a lot about the importance of DEI....this letter points out exactly what happens when you don't care.

What's everyone reading today? Access to books is vital! Please support your local library!

IS ANYONE KEEPING TRACK OF THE NUMBER OF TIMES KASH PATEL HAS LIED UNDER OATH ? Nevermind,,, Like Rudy said Truth isn't Truth

Sunday, I'm doing a FREE online overview of publishing--everything writers need to know--and you should be there! It's also an intro to our monthlong Pub Crawl program (publishing education online all Feb), but you don't have to be doing Pub Crawl to come to this! docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

There's now a civil rights lawsuit over the South Carolina budget proviso that has infringing on student First Amendment rights, as well as led to book bans across the state. Recall South Carolina has a state-sanctioned list of books banned in schools: www.wistv.com/2025/01/27/l...

The actions of Superintendent of Education for South Carolina are definitely a part of our film... and now this! Good for the NAACP and others involved in this fight. www.postandcourier.com/education-la...
