I can’t think of a better way to observe Banned Books Week than by reading excerpts from banned books. Today: Ruby Bridges Goes to School, by the civil rights icon herself, Ruby Bridges.

Make it a point to read the things censors say you shouldn’t. That’s what I’ve been doing the last few days to mark Banned Books Week. Today: The 1619 Project, created by Nikole Hannah-Jones.

I initially rejected the claim of "genocide" regarding Russia's invasion for being hyperbolic in the beginning. 2 years later and with countless direct quotes, it's very clear that Russia's war aim IS genocide. Opposing Ukrainian aid only serves to help make that genocide happen
