Sending my No vote back for the Ohio Special Election. Keep one vote, one person!

[Tharen Houck @TharenH]

Great support for libraries!

The former president has filmed clips with libraries across the country to increase awareness of their services and promote access to books. https://t.co/ZtHaYk5R9G

As this piece in @NYTimes makes clear, the fight against HJR1 / SJR2 is part of a bigger fight to defend the foundations of democracy. https://t.co/UDp3kfowkg

[The Suburban Women Problem @TheSWPpod]

Hey Ohio! Have you signed the petition to get reproductive freedom on the ballot? If not, what are you waiting for? @ProfWeinstein signed and you should too! We have events in across the state so pick a place, grab a friend and go sign! https://t.co/ikERNNX8K4

“You would never think that something like that would happen in the United States, but it is, it has, and it’s here,” said Shirley Robinson of ⁦@TXLA⁩ | Culture war in the stacks: Librarians marshal against rising book bans in LA- The Washington Post https://t.co/SJVLtjS1pT

I wouldn’t ordinarily ask, but if those of you Liking the news of #ThePeripheral Season 2 were to also RT it, I’d appreciate it (however abashedly)!

[Tharen Houck @TharenH]

@Doc_CCollins @PolicyMattersOH At least we’re strong on libraries!

Great News! Ohio libraries to receive grant funds to support student learning https://t.co/0f9D7FltZj via @OhioCapJournal

[EJ Dionne @EJDionne]

Opponents of censorship heartily agree that parents should have an important say in education. We’re against a willful ideological minority imposing its views on everyone else, dictating which ideas should be forbidden in public institutions.

[Vice President Kamala Harris Archived @VP46Archive]

In Ohio, the Republican supermajority-controlled state House passed a bill that would undercut the fundamental right to vote. At a moment when so many fundamental freedoms are under attack, Ohioans should have every opportunity to make their voices heard at the ballot box.

[David DeWitt @DC_DeWitt]

New Editor Commentary: Because LaRose and Stewart's arguments for attacking voters are so weak and misleading, and the arguments for protecting the power of voters so plentiful, it's worth putting them all in one place, going through each point one-by-one

If I hadn’t been allowed to discover that books could be funny, I never would’ve stuck around to discover all the OTHER things they can be. Letting kids read what THEY want is the best first step toward helping them fall in love with reading.

[Tharen Houck @TharenH]

Yes

Do you know how to spot fake news? Here are 8 helpful tips from @IFLA!

[Hillary Clinton @HillaryClinton]

The GOP plan for the economy has 5 parts:

1) Drive up inflation & the deficit by cutting taxes for the rich.
2) Raise Rx drug costs.
3) Increase health care premiums.
4) Cut Medicare & Social Security benefits.
5) Cancel student loan forgiveness.

Not convinced? Vote Democrat.
