"a Republic, for as long as you can keep it" #CallToAction #PSA Kelly Jensen on Bluesky: "Republicans in the Senate have drafted S. 4925, their companion to the House's HR 7616 bill. This nationwide book banning bill shows the GOP's priorities during the quiet summer season. S. 4925 is already in the HELP subcommittee." #Libraries #Censorship #BookBans #USPolitics https://bookriot.com/senate-bill-4925/

Replying to @wendythedruid@thistlenfern.org
A teacher in Rockford holds Heather Has Two Mommies against her chest and decides to leave it on the shelf. Third grade. The DOJ has just told 36 Illinois school districts that book might be a civil rights violation. No specific incident cited. The investigation is the punishment. A child reading about a family that looks like hers is not a crime. https://twp.ai/9OV23b #Education #LGBTQ #BookBans #CivilRights #SchoolLibraries #QueerFamilies #DOJ #Censorship #lgbtqia #trans

Today's three stories are actually one story. A war nobody can exit. Soil losing 1 in 5 species. A library board fired for keeping a trans kid's book on the shelf. Same machine. Different targets. Full breakdown. #LGBTQ #climate #bookbans https://twp.ai/4hpRn7

#BookBans & attempted bans remain at record highs, acc/to the American #Library Association, & efforts to have titles removed have never been more coordinated or politicized. The #ALA on Monday issued its annual list of the #books most challenged at the country’s #libraries, part of the association’s State of America’s Libraries Report. #education #censorship #indoctrination #racism #misogyny #heterosexism #law #fascism #CultureWars #FarRight #extremism #Republicans https://apnews.com/article/bans-challenged-books-american-library-association-5403280786cf95111d4c9eb4b587c4be
