Senate Democrats are considering voting NO or delaying every Trump nominee as retaliation for his overreach on ending USAID.

Smash the RT if you SUPPORT this plan. ZERO votes from Democrats!!

I think we can safely say that folks are paying attention. If you're looking for ways to take action to fight back against the Trump-Musk Coup, we've got you covered with call scripts, email tools, explainers, and toolkits over at @indivisible.org: indivisible.org/coup

Lots more coming this week.

Nobody elected Elon Musk. So why is Trump granting him all-access powers to get rid of funding for Medicaid, Social Security and more?! We need to get Musk's hands off our money and stop the Musk takeover NOW.

Can we please remember that very recently South Korea showed us all what we should do when the president does illegal shit

This is important information, and I was not clear on this before I read this article———Schools brace for immigration arrests, try to reassure terrified parents www.washingtonpost.com/education/20... by @laurameckler.bsky.social

I shared this article in Wisconsin last week... AMAZING, right? I listen to several books a month now because of my commute to campus, and I've come to love being read to. How about you? #booklove

May delete this later, but here goes:

I'm up for sabbatical in 2027. That's when I hope to launch a writer's retreat and residence in Detroit. Focused primarily (not exclusively) on Black children's authors & illustrators.

Do I have the money? Or a building? No, not yet!

But I do have 🙏🏿 & A Plan!

Currently up to my waist with sorting books I’m going to donate. If you have new or lightly used books consider donating to these:
- libraries- school and public (no arcs)
- foster kid programs
- women’s shelters
-little free libraries
- prisons
- schools
- your kids’ teachers

Add your ideas!

Getting ready to finally post about the books I was blessed with at ALAN workshop and NCTE. I think this would go well with some hot chocolate ☕️

If you’re at #PoCC, come through!!!

I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Walaa. Walaa’s husband Ghazi is a journalist and they have an adorable 2 year old daughter Abeer. Walaa is also pregnant and has a high risk condition that requires her to have medication every day that is quite costly.

“When you fight for books, you fight for lives.” @aidenschmaiden.bsky.social speaking beautifully about the need for kids to see themselves in stories—especially in light of current times. #ALAN24

“The children are not okay…We are not listening and the children are watching…we can listen and make sure the children will be alright…the children will not be ok if we are not ok. Reignite our hope…make good trouble and be a menace about books.” @dhonielle.bsky.social #ALAN24

Enjoying myself at #alan24 Encouraging folks to write book reviews for ALAN Picks!

"We are unwell as a community."
"The children who have been living along side us are heading into the dark and will need books and stories to guide them."
