New: A Texas House committee on Wednesday heard stunning testimony from investigators over allegations of a yearslong pattern of misconduct and questionable actions by AG Ken Paxton, the result of a probe the committee had secretly authorized in March. https://t.co/xQ6p9K2R5H

This is a great idea.

Speaking to my colleagues in the AI Working Group (tbd) Alan brought up the concept of critical AI literacy, it is a very powerful idea that is yet to be mature. Let's develop it #Librarians! Would love to hear from you :)

Libraries are under attack in Missouri and Texas with book bans and funding cuts. Let's defend our fundamental right to access diverse perspectives. #NoBookBans #libraries #librarians

I’m running for U.S. Senate because Texans deserve a Senator whose team is Texas. Ted Cruz only cares about himself.

Sorry for the delay in tweeting during National Library Week - our library was buzzing with students and ongoing projects all week long! Just how we like it! Happy National Library Week! 📚📖🎓

The rage moms reading passages from adult novels out of context are just hapless foot soldiers, operating with blind obedience for a nonexistent cause. LIBRARIES as an institution are the target. Book bans are just the tool.

While we're all happy with the results of the Llano County Library situation today, I wish the media would specify that this is potentially a *temporary* victory. The vote was to remove the item from the agenda, not to vote it down altogether.

[Kerri Library @KerriLibrary]

This is potentially a model for other cities and counties: create a problem by banning books, inevitably get sued, and then use the expense of the lawsuits to defund libraries altogether.

@ScottUhlTX @heiwabanzai I think that's the master plan: create the situations that get the libraries sued, then claim that the lawsuit expenses justify closing them altogether.

@mamaria33 Ok, first quick glance: wow. This guy really says the quiet parts loud, huh? 🤢

[Kerri Library @KerriLibrary]

The people reading out of context excerpts from non-children novels while proudly wearing tees proclaiming themselves as "wallbuilders" have broken out into a spontaneous rendition of "Amazing Grace." #llano #llanocounty #library

[Kerri Library @KerriLibrary]

@mamaria33 Wow, I hadn't heard of that before. I see an upsetting research rabbit hole in my future...

[Sharyn Vane @SharynVane]

Glad to see that the Llano library remains open for now … but the commissioners’ characterization of lawsuits to preserve intellectual freedom as nothing but financial/time drains remains worrisome.

[Kerri Library @KerriLibrary]

@MagegirlNino Absolutely! That's probably why they don't identify the books they're reading from right up front. Create confusion, fuel more outrage, repeat.

[Kerri Library @KerriLibrary]

And very few of them seem to know the words to the second/third verses...

[Kerri Library @KerriLibrary]

@paulwaldman1 Classic play to engineer more outrage. The goal has always been to defund public libraries. These people are just the rage pawns making it happen.
