Book Bans β€˜Kill Creativity,’ Sow Self-Doubt in Authors For the past few years, author Charlotte Sullivan Wild has been working on a picture book about an LGBTQ+ family who learns to cope with one member’s deployment to the military. The story is inspired…

As hard as we are fighting, book bans are having an impact on the books being written and published. To put this another way, a very small number of well-funded people who don't write books, don't teach books, don't work in libraries are trying to decide what books are available for everyone else

Call your reps about this. Every time a book ban has been overturned or shut down, it's because the vast majority of people who believe in the freedom to read spoke up.
Find your reps' info at reps.fyi.

A Nationwide Book Ban Bill Has Been Introduced in the House of Representatives Hours after the State of the Union address, House republicans introduced legislation banning LGBTQ+ books from public schools nationwide.

Following the lies and hatred targeting trans folks during the State of the Union Address, numerous republican House representatives introduced a bill that would create A NATIONWIDE BOOK BAN.

Here's what it is and what to do: bookriot.com/hr7661-book-...

Its Time For Mayor Mamdani To Live Up To His Campaign Promises On Transgender Youth With NYU Langone's shuttering of its transgender youth care program, New York City has significant tools in its toolbox to push back.

1. Mayor Mamdani promised to hold hospitals accountable that capitulate to Trump.

He promised funding to trans youth care in the city.

There are very real steps he can take right now to maintain care for trans youth after NYU Langone's capitulation.

It's time for Mamdani to uphold his promises.

The need is bottomless, unfathomable, and our leaders do nothing to help. Tens of thousands of families are one breath away from disaster.

Call your house rep and tell them to support HB 2540 which will increase the amount disabled people can save from $2k to $10k and remove the marriage penalty where you lose your only source of income if you get married regardless of how little they make. Switchboard: (202) 224-3121

Of course possibly irreparable harm has been done to students, instructors, children’s publishing, authors of kid lit, etc. But this court-driven decision is a first step away from the abyss of institutional homogeneity, racism, queermisia, ableism, etc.

July 16, 1960: Greenville Eight Stage Read-In at Local Library In an act of civil disobedience against the whites-only Greenville County Public Library, eight young Black people entered the library, began reading, and were subsequently arrested. They became known...

That's 18 yo college freshman Jesse Jackson on the left & the seven hs students he organized for a silent sit-in at a segregated library.

"Although Greenville was not the first library system to integrate in SC, it was the first to do so as a result of public demonstrations by the Black community."

Two-month-old baby 'choking on his own vomit' while detained in Dilley 'His life is in danger,' U.S. Rep. Joaquin Castro said about newborn Juan NicolΓ‘s. The child fell ill after spending almost a month β€” or half his life β€” in a San Antonio-area family detention facility...

Dilley must be shut down and everyone inside must be freed and provided immediate medical care. www.sacurrent.com/news/two-mon...

A lot of folks don't have money to spare, but many of you have skills & time! There are so many ways to do the work, and I KNOW some of you can help with this stuff!

Henry Cuellar should never hold elected office again. Anyway in the meantime, make your Senators scared of you.

Honestly even Republicans can be moved if they get enough calls. So make sure to do so. Especially make Democrats terrified of their voters if they don't vote no with a bullet on this one

"Here, finally, is a worthy use of the NIMBY impulse that is so easy to activate for worse reasons." Friends, you can use that. I highly recommend going full Karen for the right reasons.

Donate Your Miles β€” Stand With Minnesota Donate your Delta Skymiles to get people home from Texas

DID YOU KNOW?

If you have Delta Sky Miles, you can donate them to help a kidnapped-and-released person fly home!

They are set free on the streets of El Paso or another Texas town with no phone, no money, nothing at all. Your miles can get them back to their loved ones!

Children trapped in Texas immigration facility recount nightmares, inedible food, no school A photo of Liam Conejo Ramos, a scared 5-year-old, drew attention to a detention center in Dilley, Texas. Advocates say his experience reflects what hundreds of children have endured out of public vie...

Maria is one of hundreds of children, who β€” like Liam Ramos β€” have been held at a Texas detention facility where parents say children languish as they’re served contaminated food, receive little education and struggle to obtain basic medical care.

Here's our attempt at telling their stories. 2/

They're trying to tell us that they always get what they want. That there is nothing so hideous that they won't do it, even if it's kidnap a five year old child and then, when they lose, really try even harder to make him suffer more.

Fuck them.

"My daughter is only 6 years old. She should not know chains or handcuffs or the terror of her family being torn apart. She should never have been...locked in a detention facility for 2 months. She should be in school in the US, playing with her friends and receiving the medical care she needs."

A stack of paperback advance reader copies of Being Aro sit on a black stool with small painted cherries. On the cover, the title is written in big black letters against a green gradient background. Interwoven with the letters is a person with green skin, short black hair, white clothes and platform boots. They kneeling on the ground and are aiming a bow and arrow to the upper right. They are wearing the aromantic flag around their neck and it is trailing out behind them like a cape.

one way to avoid having a measles outbreak at the child concentration camp would be to not have a child concentration camp

BIG UPDATE: The State Board of Education decided NOT to vote on this awful reading list until April, pending feedback from teachers and community members. This is a temporary, partial, but very real victory! They listened to us!

Dems managed to get a 2-week delay on the DHS bill, so CALL YOUR SENATORS AND YOUR REPRESENTATIVE EVERY DAY FOR THE NEXT 14 DAYS. Tell them you want ICE, CBP and all the rest of it defunded and dismantled. Tell them you will be voting against anyone who doesn't do this. This is our chance.

An extraordinary document. Read it.

β€œAttached to this order is an appendix that identifies 96 court orders that ICE has violated in 74 cases. … ICE has likely violated more court orders in January 2026 than some federal agencies have violated in their entire existence.”
