In an act that makes my prostate hurt even thinking about it, Corey Booker showed the only model that will help the Democrats survive—total opposition. He broke segregationist Strom Thurmond’s record. Chuck Schumer should step aside for him tomorrow. www.mind-war.com/p/corey-book...

Corey Booker just raised the bar, concluding with a call for “good trouble.” Now his fellow Dems need to clear it—and raise it higher.

22 hours down, Corey Booker. Just 3.7 years to go.

The longest filibuster in US history was by Strom Thurmond. He spoke for 24 hours and 18 minutes in order to oppose the Civil Rights Act. I think Corey Booker is on a mission, and I think he's going to achieve it.

yall we can’t collectively screech that “no one’s doing anything!” and then say “no not like that” when someone actually does something. is Booker’s filibuster gonna save the world? of course not. but since courage begets courage it could lead to more. I’m fucking cynical as hell but come on.

Perhaps the point of this is not to deny rebellion, but to only go to war with those you trust implicitly.

This is what America is, even if you don’t want to see them. They deserve all of our support. Make sure you give them thanks before eating the food they helped get to your table.

Never forget: READING FOR PLEASURE has the biggest positive impact of any factor on children's life chances. So never stop sharing books with kids. Never stop reading to them, and helping them to read. Never stop changing lives. #literacy #kidlit #books

Silly little crochet fidget turtle I made. I clearly made mistakes on it. But I'm proud of it anyway.

It's Only Stanley by Jon Agee is a fun read-aloud picture book. I like the cat. I do wonder where the cat is in the last couple pages.

I grew up thinking #Barbie was just for girly girls who liked pink and that wasn't me. But as I get older, the more I realize that Barbie is pretty amazing and surprisingly feminist. So I made the @woobles.bsky.social one.

This is why reading is important. 50% of USians read so poorly that they are unable to perform simple tasks such as reading prescription drug labels. At least 45 million are functionally illiterate; 130 million more can't finish a children's book. thenationalliteracyinstitute.com/post/literac...

For years, poor school districts closed school libraries & fired librarians. How can teachers emphasize the importance of learning to read without giving students reading material they like & school librarians to help? Librarians are critical to learning. nancyebailey.com/2018/04/21/p...

For those who don’t know me but are new here, I’m the author of 29 books. My newest, BY ANY OTHER NAME, is about how women have been judged differently from men for over 400 years. (Sound familiar??) Oh, and my novel NINETEEN MINUTES is THE most banned book in America right now. 🎉

Great thing that happened today: patron came to me and asked for the sequel to Parable of the Sower (which is Parable of the Talents). I then informed her of the awesome #TransByTrans #VirtualBookClub that #FreeLibraryOfPhiladelphia has and she seemed interested!
