I've imagined many ways I'd celebrate A Most Tolerant Little Town's publication day (which is today!!!)

Waking up to a huge & laudatory review in the @nytimes by @SamuelGFreedman? Never a possibility.

My words are circling, so here's what he had to say:

[Maria Popova @themarginalian]

"This is PRECISELY the time when artists go to work. There is no time for despair, no place for self-pity, no need for silence, no room for fear. We speak, we write... That is how civilizations heal."

In these wordless hours, a lifeline from Toni Morrison worded 20 years ago: https://t.co/rsDH2BQzwX

Anyone blaming Harris or Walz today has utterly lost the plot & missed the point.
This is fundamentally about America, toxic masculinity, & white supremacy.
Blaming Harris would be part of that problem, not the solution.
She deserves our thanks.
Thank you, @vp @KamalaHarris

As you have proclaimed, democracy dies in darkness. Your decision not to endorse a presidential candidate is the worst sort of wobbling murkiness, the type of cowardice that allows corruption and injustice to spread. You will get no more of my money. Shame on you,@washingtonpost

[Rachel Louise Martin @R_LMartin]

Dear @washingtonpost,

You did not provide space for me to say this when I cancelled, but I wanted to be sure to make a record of why I have cancelled the subscription I started at the beginning of the Trump presidency.

I am honored & flabbergasted to be the inaugural recipient of @humanities_tn's Tennessee Book Award in nonfiction!!! A Most Tolerant Little Town is award winning. My book & I have had quite a ride together. (If you're at the @sofestofbooks on Sunday, come to the award ceremony!)

These kids dropped an absolute banger

AND smoked the Louisville public school system for their failure to provide adequate bus service to Black students

I'm currently scheduling meetings from my CDT time zone with folks who live in EDT, CST and PDT.

May God have mercy on my calendar.

If you've been waiting to read A Most Tolerant Little Town, paperback is out now!

[Vincenzo @HeHateV]

Paused what I was reading to dive into A Most Tolerant Little Town: The Explosive Beginning of School Desegregation by @R_LMartin because I’ve been waiting for this one

[Rachel Louise Martin @R_LMartin]

Hey! We're first in the nation for a GOOD reason!

[United for The People @people4kam]

NEWS: Tennessee is the first state to pledge all their delegates to @VP, awarding her 77 delegates. Multiple state party chairs are on call right now and expected to do the same.

BIG move by Harris to signal a shift on Gaza.

Whether you're ready to start campaigning or looking for strategies for talking to friends and family members about the upcoming election, this call is a great place to start: https://t.co/DmJsQPFJEB

[Tequila M. Johnson @tequilamjohnson]

please keep in mind the conservative strategy was never to out vote us, it’s always been to keep us from voting. Either through apathy or voter suppression! Stay grounded, stay diligent

[Harry Sisson @harryjsisson]

BOOM! CNN just fact checked every single one of Donald Trump’s lies in his RNC speech tonight! This is truly humiliating for Trump. We need more of this!!!

[Morning Joe @Morning_Joe]

"We want to level the playing field on the mental states of the two candidates. Both of them are old, both of them misstate words... Here's the real issue, [Trump] is a sociopath."

— @gtconway3d breaks down criteria for Trump being a 'sociopath'

[Rachel Louise Martin @R_LMartin]

The paperback version of A Most Tolerant Little Town hits shelves on Tuesday, July 23! If you've been meaning to grab a copy, the New York Times says you should go ahead and do so!

[Patrick S. Tomlinson @stealthygeek]

The media could, at any time, have decided to galvanize around pushing Trump out of the race exactly as they're doing to Biden right now.

A convicted felon, rapist, fraud, and traitor.

They never did. This is all you need to know about the myth of the "Liberal Media."
