By the way, Bishop Budde has a book! Let's send her to the bestseller list. This book is already backordered on some sites. She proved yesterday that she's an expert on the topic about which she has written.

Criminal conduct and sexual deviance aside, most of these nominees are unqualified for the job.

That should be enough.

WI rep Mark Pocan, chair of congressional equality caucus: β€œSpeaker Johnson’s holier-than-thou decree to ban transgender people from using bathrooms that align with their identity is a cruel & unnecessary rule that puts countless staff, interns, & visitors to the United States Capitol at risk.”

Remember in the movie β€œAliens” when no one listened to the woman and then everyone died? That’s what the vibe feels like right now.

Starting a phony transgender bathroom debate and hiding behind the guise of β€œprotecting women” to distract from your attempts to push through the confirmations of alleged rapists, sex traffickers, and fraudsters at the highest levels of government is peak Republican Party.

My son’s just sent us a picture of a crow that attacked him. Sort of grabbed at his head. We asked him why he thinks it did it. His exact words:

β€œMaybe it was because i was admiring another crow”

Every transphobic argument can basically be boiled down to: "I actually don't know the science at all or have a good argument here, but trans people challenge my long held view of the world and it's very uncomfortable and everyone should be expected to move around my discomfort."

This…this is it. In a nutshell, yes.

Hank Green is so ambitious. It's exhausting. My life is like being the co-author of the Federalist Papers.

I'm all like, "John Jay got sick after writing five."

And Hank's like, "HAMILTON WROTE THE OTHER FIFTY ONE."

people who hate musicals talk about it endlessly... it kind of sounds like it's a really big emotion that might be best expressed through song for them

Lee: When Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson was up for confirmation or when VP Harris was added to the ticket, they called them DEI hires. They want you to believe that Harvard graduate with over 20 years of experience is not qualified but Fox personality is qualified to run the DOD

Many of us are echoing @timothysnyder.bsky.social's lesson in On Tyranny, "Do not obey in advance.”

A no less vital admonition that deserves attn:

STAND OUT

β€œ...without that unease, there is no freedom. The moment you set an example, the spell of the status quo is broken, and others will follow."

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
