Happy to see justice done for one of #lafayettela's #library advocates, though it's ridiculous he's had to live under the shadow of this unlawful arrest for three years. And yes, Robert Judge remains on the board. www.theadvocate.com/acadiana/new...

It’s difficult to overstate the misogyny driving this administration. Histories of sexual assault among the staff are a feature not a bug for a reason.

This is what revisionist history looks like, in real time. And this also is why it might appear that archaeologists and historians have to dig deep to discover the existence of powerful women and marginalized groups -- because their legacies are so often erased.

look I’m no messaging expert but it seems like the American people might be interested to know that Donald Trump just gave our social security numbers to a teen called BigBalls

Congressional Democrats should remember that their base will absolutely hold them accountable for their inaction right now, while the slim slice of voters who actually care about “reaching across the aisle” won’t pay attention to the news until October 2026 at the earliest

Short 🧵: We're all on here freaking the fuck out about the active & ongoing takeover of our government, and yeah, I get it, this is way worse than even WE thought it would be.

Last week the Montgomery County (TX) Commissioners Court voted to place an elected county judge - Mark Keough- in charge of the public library system. Keough immediately terminated the Library Director Rhea Young. www.txftrp.org/politics_abo...

🧵: I count myself among those frustrated with congressional Democrats’ inaction, but not because they aren’t using their parliamentary tools. Those tools have limited value. Using them without effect may only reinforce their official powerlessness. 1/10

Local far-right take an L in Louisiana, after the entirety of a extremist-led library board was fired! The parish council was tired of the controversy, so canned ‘em. There wouldn’t be a “controversy” if local folks weren’t showing up and raising hell over their book ban attempts! (Short 🧵 )

As an advocate for #libraries and a defender of #books, I can tell you this work is hard. There are days when I question what the hell I'm doing; when I'm staring down the windmill & my work seems pointless. Then I remember what's at stake.🧵

Pin this, save it, we’ll need it. “When a prison camp opens in your town…when a DREAMer is disappeared from your classroom…when the President destroys what’s left of the Constitution…They will all say they didn’t know this was coming. And I want the American people to know that they did.” AOC 🔥🎯

Color me surprised - Landry and the legislature gave corporations big tax cuts and passed that burden along to us. When are people going to wake up and realize Republicans are lying when they say they will cut our taxes?? This is nothing but a shell game, and we lose every time.

Gov. Jeff Landry will tell you he hasn't raised taxes. That's not true.

Ate lunch today while listening to @annaleen.bsky.social and @charliejane.bsky.social talk about libraries on an episode of @ouropinions.bsky.social, then chat with @kyliu99.bsky.social about translation.

It appears Musk came to US on a student visa, did not attend school and worked illegally here. If he lied in his subsequent immigration applications he committed a felony level crime and could be stripped of his citizenship and security clearances. Musk's brother: "We were illegal immigrants."

This is incredibly important for #freadom in LA & across the country. #librarians have faced unimaginable threats & harassment simply for doing their jobs. We should all be outraged by these attacks on the people who make #libraries such wonderful spaces.

This is in response to the deleted thread by Jael Holzman thread. I get the whole, "Politicians don't like angry constituents" thing. I know because I was part of a community effort that leaned into "Pissing off politicians doing bad things" 1/
