Quote from the article:

""""
Cobb County, with 106,000 students, said Tuesday that 20 libraries had contained “Flamer” by Mike Curato or “Me and Earl and the Dying Girl” by Jesse Andrews, or both. “Flamer” is a graphic novel about a boy who is discovering he is gay and how he is treated at summer camp. “Me and Earl and the Dying Girl” contains some discussion of sex and a lot of profanity, but is mainly about two high school boys who befriend a girl dying of cancer. Both were among the most challenged books of 2022, according to a list published by the American Library Association.

One of the most important jobs of public schools is to teach children how to protect our democracy from religious zealots and fascists and others who use well known strategies to threaten all that is truly good in life, like love and compassion. And that's why these authoritarian types work overtime to dismantle public education.

@scottspeaking @georgetakei Now there’s an idea. I already live in a swing state, but I would consider moving to Florida. Also, some ALARMING stuff brewing in Michigan’s Republican party! https://www.reuters.com/world/us/far-right-republican-groups-surge-swing-state-michigan-2023-02-17/ #stopfascism #vote #VoteBlue #stophate #saveourdemocracy

@realcaseyrollins They don’t have the stones. I do wish however that another network had done that #JAN6 #jan6th #foxnews #saveourdemocracy

@Raymond_LLM Because her district is gerrymandered, awful people voted for her, & no one had the balls to refuse to seat her in Congress #saveourdemocracy #VoteBlue

Pay attention, #America. The same thing could happen here. #Insurrection #Dictatorship #SaveOurDemocracy #GOP

“On December 7, 2022, former President Pedro Castillo rocked Peru’s democracy. Facing a vote for his impeachment, Castillo attempted a “self-coup”—a complete power grab by someone already in power. With trembling hands, the embattled president announced to the nation that he was unilaterally dissolving Congress and would rule the country by decree.”

@democracydocket For those of you who have never faced blatant intentional intimidation, like someone getting too close too fast while yelling or flashing a gun in his waistband while telling you what to do- it's REAL and FRIGHTENING

You all say you'd just brush them aside and go in to vote, but you fucking would not! You'd piss yourself and run

So stop showboating and support anti-voting intimidation lawsuits and laws!!

One thing that really irks me is when people say that the younger generations are the ones who need to fight in order to save us from fascism. No! A thousand times no! I’m Gen X. All hands need to be on deck for the fight to save democracy! Don’t put the burden on the young people; get your asses up and fight alongside them! #StopFascism #SaveOurDemocracy

Urge Congress to act today to block Trump from ever holding office again

Introduction:
I am known to all as "StoryGirl".

Since I am not sure if Twitter will remain for long (since the Musk "acquisition") I've decided to start an account here on Mastodon.

I am still trying to get the hang of this format, so bear with me.

Anyhow, I am very concerned about our Democracy being slowly demolished (by various "forces").

I am here to connect with like-minded people.

Life is good!
Stay healthy!
Stay Strong!

Folks, we need to push back on the networks that have & who will continue to air live every "statement" aka burp or fart that treasonous pos criminal Trump makes, by turning off that channel when they give him free air time. Moreover, no one should follow him on any social media EVER as doing so just helps these networks justify all the free airtime they give him (plus, he loves it). Be smart

@DeniseShrivell @tandigi I’m afraid it’s that time when people need to vote with their feet otherwise silence becomes acceptance & enables the worst of #humanity to rise. #saveourdemocracy #SaveOurPlanet

Garland better choose someone who is a decent communicator, orally.
