How a High School Librarian in Abilene Fought Back Against Moms for Liberty
I entered this profession just as the storm clouds of the current book-banning push were starting to gather; now I’m in the middle of it.
“It isn’t that I’m more afraid of public speaking than death; it is that public speaking feels like it could cause my death. But I do it every month because I am a high school librarian in the state of Texas in times such as these.” 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

So now that Hillary Clinton has testified to the Epstein Files, the other 900 hundred MEN named in the same files are being called up to testify, right?

The definition of "harmful" is deliberately vague.
The burden on librarians is deliberately immense.
The chilling effect on reading, but also on publishing, author events, bookshops, and more is COMING.
The purpose of the laws is to give the State power to incarcerate anyone M*GA doesn't like.

"We can have democracy in this country, or we can have great wealth concentrated in the hands of a few, but we can't have both." –Justice Louis Brandeis
Words spoken many years ago that are just as relevant today.
We must continue the fight to get big money out of politics.

🙏🌎 - A Europe-based project aimed at unmasking US ICE agents is racking up millions of views, and mobilizing hundreds of volunteers in the process.
The site, known as the “ICE List,” traces back to June, after HSS Kristi Noem warned that Americans who publicly identify ICE agents could face arrest.

The Librarians, Our Unlikely Heroes
In a documentary airing soon on PBS, we meet people who risked their jobs and their safety to resist the wave of reactionary book-burners.
“If our country does manage to save itself, it will be because people just like these librarians say enough is enough. We the people have a right to read what we want, and no billionaire or self-appointed prophet will take that right from us.” @la-cac.org

Texas law says high schools must register voters. Many don’t | Opinion
Without training, oversight or accountability, a key youth voting policy remains largely unfulfilled, writes Taylor Treviño of the Texas Civil Rights Project.
Students have every right to protest, even though Gov. Abbott threatens them. But the most effective protest is at the polls. Those who are 18 or older need to ensure they’re registered to vote.

A Trump ‘Blockade’ Is Stalling Hundreds of Wind and Solar Projects Nationwide
Let’s be clear: when the Trump administration kills or stalls energy generation projects, that’s the White House choosing to make your electricity more expensive. Americans deserve better.

I love how they dealt with the threat, and then record rather than continue the violence. The kid at the end pulling another away….
This is how we win.

I’ve only met one billionaire and he gave off this super creepy vibe that I will never forget. Billionaires are greedy, soulless monsters who refuse to pay a living wage, even though they easily could, and want to extract everything, including your soul. They make me understand the guillotine.
