If you're in ABQ, get over to the #AlbuquerqueMuseum to see this amazing exhibit! Beautiful and heartrending.

@DianaFilarski I think that means summer has officially started.

[Seven Stories Press @7StoriesPress]

Ideally, our #ALAAC23 booth would be set up out back behind The Empty Bottle, but booth 2617 in the exhibitor hall is good too!

[Haymarket Books @haymarketbooks]

We’re set up for #ala2023 in the Indie Press Pavillon. Come by and say hi, pick up some new books, and grab some info about ongoing campaigns to fight book bans.

"Moms for Liberty portrays itself as a wholesome, grassroots movement that is focused on protecting students... but around the country, M4L has formed links with extremist groups & militias... pushing the... organization toward even more extreme ideology." https://t.co/yzPFKPbRcC

[AK Press @AKPressDistro]

Today we celebrate Octavia E. Butler's birth. The work of this revolutionary science fiction writer continues challenging us to dream beyond what we have been told we can accomplish. The Destiny of Earthseed is to take root among the stars.

@7StoriesPress I have them up in my classroom! 😍

Moms 4 Liberty, the group behind book bans, is literally quoting Adolf Hitler.

When people tell you who they are, believe them.

Help us fight back. https://t.co/bAZmCMqNn0

Last weekend, teachers & allies held #TeachTruth events in many cities to raise awareness about threats to public ed, LGBTQ+ rights, & democracy.

They modeled that instead of buckling to a well-funded hate campaign, we can defend the freedom to learn. ⬇️
