Anyway, I get why it's banned in Florida. This is exactly the sort of look at the TransAtlantic slave trade that the powerful in Florida don't want to let us see, with all the human beauty and human cruelty wound through it to create a tragedy of epic proportions.

So. If you want to #ReadBannedBooks Homegoing is a good one to start with!

#FarRightWinningElections: The Hindu Right, says Sippy, employs rhetoric that #progressive groups who see themselves as #racializedminorities would use, as well as the talking points of #whiteChristian #conservative and right-wing Zionist groups who play the #victim in the face of #criticism.

Only #rondesantis would admit to NOT reading the #TrumpIndictment

Just what America needs: another #POTUS who doesn’t read. . .NOT!

Perhaps Ronny needs to start reading real history books

New Yorkers need the vital services our libraries provide. Libraries are just 0.4% of the city budget, but their benefits are enormous.

Along with The New York Public Library, the Brooklyn Public Library, Queens Public Library
and all the other libraries in NYC, I’m asking the NYC Office of the Mayor and the New York City Council to not cut New Yorkers short. We need our libraries.

Is it a *good* sign that there was so much ginned-up moral panic, and so many bad faith arguments, at the latest Brevard Public Schools book review committee meeting, that I had to do some serious trimming to cut my response to under IG's 15-minute limit?

I wish I could report that the newly-Moms-for-Liberty-fortified Brevard Schools book review committee surprised me. The meeting went on for 5 hours, I ranted for 20 minutes at one point, but nonetheless all three books were banned as predicted.

I mean, I get it, Moms for Liberty -- I don't like being called a "book banner" either. I mostly avoid it by not trying to ban books.

Makes one wonder if all these people banning books have read them. . .I’m sure #desantis has not; he’s too busy buffing his white boots and following a strict diet

How to fight book bans — and win https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2023/04/05/book-bans-how-to-fight/

Love this interview with Judy Blume. Her opinions on censoring & banning books. Just like Judy, I also don’t believe in censoring books or music. It’s the artist’s vision for the story they want to tell.
Judy Blume on book banning- “This is the real danger. That a governor can appoint someone to the legislature who’s thinking this way because he’s thinking this way, & getting laws about this.” This is exactly what Ron DeSantis is doing in FL. He appoints people to every board & legislative position possible of people who think like him or worse. Hell, he even tried doing it to Disney! But Disney is powerful, our school system is not. #ReadBannedBooks #HistoryMatters #JudyBlume

Our favorite local "Just yell CRT at things!" school board member is tired of my friends and I. It's like a public-participation merit badge.

I may not share Bard's spiritual background, but we can find common anti-censorship ground.

@courtcan I keep thinking that the politicians who want to ban books in schools are so out of touch they don't realize (or remember? were they ever children?) that telling a kid not to do something is one of the best ways to get them to do it.
