www.politico.com/news/2026/03... #PB #USD Republicans say they do not want to re-litigate the 2020 election. But their actions prove otherwise. SAVE Act is the direct descendant of ‘Stop the Steal’ and Trump’s obsession with an election he clearly lost. GOP will continue re arguing 2020 ad nauseam
Republican worries Trump push a massive mistake — that could 'blow up the Senate' # www.rawstory.com/trump-save-a...
Trump is demanding Republicans break senate rules to debate the democracy ending SAVE Act. If Trump persists it will blow up in his face.Senate could be paralyzed for months #USD #PB
Lindsey Graham is happier than Erika Kirk after Charlies death over the US waging war with Iran. Graham admitted he “talked to the Prince” of Saudi and made “many trips to Israel” where he was briefed on how to convince Trump to go to war with Iran. These are treasonous acts by Graham. #USD #PB
Banished DHS head Kristie Noem’s side piece Corey Lewandowski is bragging ”I can do whoever the fuck I want because Trump will give me a pardon”. The idea that Trump will pardon any and all illegal acts by MAGA’s is a dangerous precedent. Lewandowski should not be pardoned for his crimes #USD #PB
The cover of Where the Wild Things Are is divided horizontally. The upper quarter has a white background and the title is in gray capital letters. The lower quarter also has a white background and gray capital letters which say "Story and Pictures by Maurice Sendak. The middle half is a painting by Sendak. On the right, a large, gray Wild Thing sits on grass at the side of a body of water, facing left. He has white horns and claws for hands. His feet are human feet. His eyes are closed, his nose is large and snout-like and he perhaps has a small grin. Behind him is the body of water--a coastal strait, perhaps, and beyond that is land on the other side--grass and trees. On the left hand side is a sailboat, whose hull is an orangey red and whose sails are yellow. This particular edition has a gold, embossed Caldecott Medal in the lower left hand corner of the art. The foreground trees are renditions of palms, though the fronds are a deeper red than the boat. The background trees are different kinds of trees.
BOOKS GOOD ENOUGH FOR YOU #nonfictionkidlit
Ch. 14: Where The Wild Things Are
#UrsulaNordstrom mentors Sendak for 12 years, culminating in the first #PB, he both writes and illustrates. He hits writer’s block. Ursula’s smart, perceptive question helps him finish the book. #abramsbooks 🧵1 of 2
Lindsey Graham brags about his many trips to Israel and how he used Israeli talking points to trick a weak Donald Trump to go to war with Iran. That is an admission of treason. Miss Lindsey Graham is a traitor to the US. The blood of Americans are on his soft traitorous lily white hands. #PB #USD

一人称っていうのは...？ #pb #countryballs #ポーランドボール youtube.com/shorts/JOh8P...
I agree 1000%!
You'll have more people follow you (or follow you back) if you include a photo & some info about yourself.
I'm always happy to follow people in the kidlit world, so I love seeing #PB, #MG, #YA, #PBParty, #SCBWI, #12x12PB, etc. in a bio.
Sharing at least 1 post is helpful, too!
Donald Trump said high gas prices are great for America. Also up is down.and war is peace. This is what Republicans are campaigning on for this fall? I hope they do. Not many Americans are willing to suffer with sky hight gas prices so a few oil billionaires can make a few extra dollars #PB #USD
Listen to this arrogant little Nazi. Elon Musk put fools like this hate filled SOB in charge of destroying millions of lives. Nathan Cavanaugh was able to apply his and Elon Musk ignorant views of blacks and LGBTQ+ to end vital and necessary programs. This is what Republicans wrought. #USD #PB
Interesting study about gender stereotypes that are reinforced in #picturebooks:
"Boys more likely to experience pain (53%) than girls (29%), but girls were more likely to cry (78%) when faced with pain than boys (22%)."

Two rabbits are standing by the edge of a stream. The one on the left is black and the one of the right is white. The black bunny has picked yellow flowers and is placing them in the white bunny's fur around her head. They take up the bottom two-thirds of the cover. There are trees with light green leaves on either side of the bunnies, reaching into the sky. Above the bunnies, there is a white sky background with the title and author underneath it.

Ch. 12: The Rabbits’ Wedding
#UrsulaNordstrom edits Garth Williams’s first #PB, in which a black bunny marries a white bunny. Some people assert Williams’s book brainwashes 4-8 year-olds about interracial marriage. #abramsbooks #youcantmakethisstuffup
#PB #KidLit #SCBWI Have you applied to join the coolest family in KidLit? This is the last year for this amazing experience! Last day to apply is Friday the 13th! pbrisingstars.com
some people call this her wizard outfit but that's technically not accurate since its under a wizard outfit thats more of an illusion and its a science based outfit, hence the circuit patterns... anyway i just shorten it to sciwiz. cuz shes a sci wiz and its a scientific outfit meant to mimic a wizard outfit. lot a layers. anyway its a good outfit

State Regime Media aka Fox News aired footage from Dover AFB from last year so Fox viewers would not see Trump in his disrespectful baseball cap. Fox News is not in the news business. They are in the covering up for Trump when he does stupid shit business like he did at Dover. Fuck Fox #USD #PB
Is anyone shocked to see Donald Trump disrespecting troops he killed as they return to Dover? Donald Trump did this. 6 dead soldiers did not die for the US, they died for Israel and to distract from Trump’s Epstein child rape scandal. So one final disrespect from Trump is to be expected #USD #PB
The cartoon mood is really getting to me......
Have a chubby PB thrown at you (have proper form she's heavy)

Look for a good book for spring? Check out my book, Grace Lee Boggs: Gardens of Hope, illustrated by Lin, and other beautiful books on The Nature Generation's Green Earth Book Award long list. @albertwhitman.bsky.social #WomensHistoryMonth #PB #K12 #Bio #nonfiction #garden #WomensMonth ❤️📚🌱⭐🍀❤️
Once, a drunk Pete Hegseth jumped on a table in a hotel bar. He ripped his shirt off to show his Christian Nationalist tattoos, beat his chest and exclaimed to all who would listen “Kill All Muslims” Today he bragged in obscene details about how many Iranians he has killed. Unfit to serve. #USD #PB
Donald Trump fired Kristie Noem on Truth Social. Noem was in the middle of another self aggrandizing fascist speech in Nashville when she found out she was fired. But as a consolation prize Noem will be allowed one more adulterous romp on a DHS jet on her way home to South Dakota. #USDemocracy #PB
A group of picture books spread out on a multi-colored rug. Book titles include Across the Ice, Princess Battle Royale, Dear Acorn (Love Oak), Don’t Eat Eustace, If We Were Dogs, and Forts.
Some fun #picturebooks from our latest library haul! This it the THIRD time our 4yo has checked out Princess Battle Royale. A clear favorite! #pb #kidlit
