How do we build a thriving reading culture in our schools? Not with guest speakers, but with small, daily acts of book love. Explore the blog post for ideas on cocreating authentic reading joy.

This is extremely bad. Extremely.

We know a lack of sex ed is a symptom of a culture that teaches us to abandon sexual health as part of our overall well-being. We provide inclusive, accurate and comprehensive sex ed for ALL, including parents/guardians who want to learn how to start open conversations about sex & relationships.

President Biden — Dr. Matt and I are keeping you and the Biden family close in our hearts during this deeply scary time. We’re praying for strength, healing, and peace.

HUGE. A direct rebuke to the Trump administration's practice of shoving people onto planes: "Under these circumstances, notice roughly 24 hours before removal, devoid of information about how to exercise due process rights to contest that removal, surely does not pass muster."

“We Remember” by Buffalo’s first poet laureate, Jillian Hanesworth.

May 14 will always be a somber day in our community's history. Three years ago the lives of 10 beautiful people were viciously taken during the horrific mass shooting at Tops on Jefferson Avenue, three others were seriously injured, and untold heartache and pain was caused for our community. 1/3

Three years 💔💔💔

Listen to "The Headlines," which brings you the biggest stories of the day from the New York Times reporters who are covering them, all in about 10 minutes.

Yes!! FREE THEM ALL!!

DAILY DEMS DOING THE WORK, MAKING NOISE, AND FIGHTING BACK Day 100 I’ve been doing this series for 100 days?? Thank you so much to everyone who follows the series. I’m so glad it’s made the kind of difference it has. If you wanna support me further, check my 📌 Here’s some of today’s fighters! 🧵

In space, Venus flanks Earth on the left, with a hellfire greenhouse effect. Mars on the right, which long ago had running water. Today, it's bone dry. Something bad happened on each planet. Seems like the wrong time to limit the Nation’s capacity to conduct climate research.

As we celebrate #TeacherAppreciationDay and everything teachers do for our students, we won a court order forcing the Trump administration to restore over $1 billion in educational funding to states.   I'll always fight for our teachers, our students, and the resources they need.

Weather and climate research funds are being “chainsawed” from NOAA's budget. Last I checked, Louisiana & Florida, which are maximally susceptible to Hurricanes, voted Red in the last General Election. Wondering if residents there knew in advance this would happen.

Gorgeous. Love the blue. 💙

The masked ICE agents are in DC today, as rumored, whisking people off the street while covering their faces completely.

100% earned! Congratulations, Percival Everett!

RFK Jr. is dangerous.

Proof this guy is full of SITH.

Swear to all that's holy that my exposure to Free to Be You and Me as an impressionable youth has had a significant positive effect on my happiness. Internalizing that men and women are equal and gay people aren't scary was very positive! engagededucation.substack.com/p/free-to-be...

YES!! I loved Free to Be, You and Me as a child!

"I do solemnly swear that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."

"On Tyranny" is a #1 NYT bestseller again. I wish the moment were different. But I’m glad the book is useful. And grateful for all the kind words about putting the 20 lessons to work. snyder.substack.com/p/twenty-les...

"MSNBC's Tom Costello claimed Friday that an air traffic controller who works at Newark airport said, ‘It is not safe. It is not a safe situation right now for the flying public. Don't fly into Newark. Avoid Newark at all costs.’”

Doesn’t have to be a repost of mine, but gosh what a shame if this screenshot of JK’s outrageous hypocrisy went far and wide. Such a terrible, terrible shame.

I really encourage you to listen to this. This entire incident is chilling and crosses yet another line.

There is no reason grovel before a lawless regime. I hope this is a lesson to every law firm, university, media outlet, state or city government, or anyone else who finds themselves subjected to trump's rages: stand your ground. Act like the law is on your side. Because it is.

Dr. Anthony Fauci urges Americans not to accept "Normalization of Untruths".

it is fun to read profiles of this guy which play him up as some diabolical mastermind and then watch him in action and see a huge loser

Oh.

ICE has begun raiding the homes of American citizens. A widely shared story out of Oklahoma describes a disturbing incident where a woman and her children were dragged into their yard half-naked. Reports are mounting across multiple states of agents targeting the wrong properties.

5/5 stars for James McBride’s The Heaven & Earth Grocery Store! The man is a storytelling genius! #Booksky #books

Warnock: I hear people attack poor people and act like it’s a crime to be poor, rather than to recognize it’s criminal for so many people to be poor. They do all of this in the name of Jesus… Jesus is the biggest victim of identity theft in the United States

Pam Bondi says ICE agents can enter ANYBODY’S home without a warrant to find “illegals.” Baby girl fuck you. Grown men are NOT coming into my house looking for a goddamn thing. I’ll sue you bitches to the STRATOSPHERE Signed, Someone who already sued the Dept. of Corrections and won.

We need the best educated workforce in the world. We need the best teachers in the world. We need to pay our teachers fairly for the important work they do. No teacher in America should begin at less than $60,000 a year.

You have been watching the greatest economic disaster strategy from an American President in history.

Booksellers have faced censorship and harassment defending the freedom to read. Celebrate your local bookstore and support their ongoing role in safeguarding intellectual freedom. press.princeton.edu/ideas/bookst... #BookstoreDay

Finally (and WAY too late). Shedeur Sanders is going to the Browns.

Happy Independent Bookstore Day! Why support indie bookstores? 👉 shopping local = most of your $ stays local 👉 staffed by actual humans who understand books (no AI/algorithms here!) 👉 hubs for community 👉 independent = not run by billionaires 👉 freedom to read = a pillar of democracy
