It is March 2, 2025. My plan was to leave the world on March 2, 2024. What a difference in a year. I still have bad days. But reasons to stay are easier to find each day. Thankful for family, for friends, for library kids who ARE going to save the world. Once a library kid, always a library kid 💚

We stand in solidarity with @womensmarch.bsky.social and all those taking action on March 8th for International Women’s Day. Join our Movement of Movements calling for change. #50501movement #PeoplesMovement #FiftyFiftyOne #InternationalWomensDay #WomensMarch #WeThePeople @polrev.bsky.social

50501 stands firmly with President Zelenskyy, the resilient people of Ukraine, and the enduring principles of democracy. #50501movement #PeoplesMovement #FiftyFiftyOne #March4thForDemocracy #ImpeachTrump #NoKings #PoliticalRevolution #BuildTheResistance @polrev.bsky.social

The meeting today between President Trump and President Zelenskyy in the Oval Office was unprecedented and embarrassing. America is the most powerful nation in the world. The world looks to us as a leader. The President and Vice President’s actions were not a good reflection of our country.

We apologize to our Ukrainian supporters. We are embarrassed by how our president and vice president have behaved. We are fighting to redeem the soul of America. 🇺🇸

We want to send a message to the world: what has happened today is an absolute disgrace. It is completely un-American.

If you’re at home today, not spending money, and feeling bored, you might be wondering, “What could I do?” Well, task one: you can make random reports on this website: enddei.ed.gov

Saying “baby, that is Keke Palmer” to Lauren Keyana Palmer (while holding her book) does wonders for your mental health. Just in case you were looking for a new self-care strategy! 💚

Check out this thread highlighting some of the testimony from Texas parents at yesterday’s Texas Senate Committee Meeting on SB13. Keep calling & emailing committee members and your Texas district senator!

Grateful to spend the day with such dedicated advocates for libraries and students. At hearings for SB13. @txfreedomread.bsky.social

Excellent advice.

all for yelling at electeds always and so this is where her constituents need to be calling her office to yell praise

The Capitol Police arrested a group of peaceful protesters who demonstrated today in the Cannon House Office Building against the Trump’s decision to freeze foreign aid and lay off thousands of USAID workers. The president has made his message clear: disagree with them, and they will come after you.

Also I want to take a moment to remind everyone (who isn’t an elected official) to take time to recharge your batteries. You don’t have to attend every city council meeting or protest. Find what centers you, then get back in the fight. This is a marathon, not a sprint.

House Republicans have just passed a budget that cuts nearly $1 trillion from Medicaid, leaving millions without access to healthcare. At the same time, it gives huge tax breaks to billionaires and large corporations. This is a clear choice to put the wealthiest Americans ahead of working families.

Texans, this bill is garbage. Make your voices heard!

Texas advocates: here’s info about the SB 13 hearing on Thursday!!

‼️ SB13 will be discussed and considered during Thursday’s Senate K-16 Education Committee. More details to come- but for now- save the date and consider making a trip to Austin to share your thoughts about this bill with our legislators in person.

🚨🚨🚨RED ALERT, Texas book lovers. This bill (SB13) will be heard in committee on Thursday. Now is the time to let lawmakers know how bad it is. #BookSky

Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library exists with her own funding, in addition to state funding. States, such as Indiana, are beginning to cut such funding. Her library program gifts FREE BOOKS TO CHILDREN. We ride at dawn for Dolly Parton, always. Thank you for your book joy💛 tinyurl.com/DollyYahoo

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

I'm so sorry, Julianne Moore & LeUyen Pham 💔 Thank you for FRECKLEFACE STRAWBERRY. For writing, for illustrating a book for the kids with freckles, for the adults with freckles. A story insisting it's okay to be different. Your differences make you YOU 💛 pen.org/julianne-moo...

The U.S. Postal Service (USPS) was established by Benjamin Franklin in 1775 when the Second Continental Congress appointed him as the first Postmaster General.

📢 Federal workers serve every community across the country—keeping our air & water clean, caring for our veterans, and making sure our food & medicine are safe. Cutting them isn’t “efficiency”—it’s sabotage. ✊ Take action: go.savepublicservices.com #SaveOurServices

Book bans and censorship, library defunding initiatives, anti-library legislation, attacks on librarians and the profession... EveryLibrary was built to fight against these threats.

There are moments in these deportation fights when I can just FEEL how pissed off they are that I’m Puerto Rican 😂 they want to threaten me with it so bad 😂
