We were at the American Library Association Conference this summer talking with librarians about the importance of everyone having access to books that represent all kinds of different backgrounds and experiences.
Thank you to every librarian working to defend our right to read.

"They’ve barely bothered to make a coherent legal argument. The complaint boasts about Trump’s unparalleled success, directly undercutting his claim to have been damaged to the tune of $15b. It’s not defamatory to say that 'Good things happened to Trump. He did not earn most of those good things.'"

It’s continues to be despicable how the media has spent a decade normalizing the orange felon so much so that they are reporting on his authoritarian militarization of Washington DC as if it were a routine military exercise. They deliberately failed democracy for clickbait.

A rainbow crosswalk in Orlando that was part of the city’s Pulse Memorial was painted over by the state last night at the order of Ron DeSantis.
The memorial honored the 49 people fatally shot by a gunman at the Pulse LGBTQ nightclub in 2016 — the largest mass shooting in the country at the time.
