“if we don’t talk about it, they are going to continue to organize, and they’re going to continue to train. There are definitely lots of groups on the far right who want war. They are preparing for war. And not talking about it does not make us safer.” https://t.co/2WiGYdjMsl

Something to ponder as you head out to vote today, for free. In the Library's Rosa Parks Papers collection, there's a receipt for the poll tax she had to pay to vote in Alabama in 1956. Poll taxes, a Jim Crow-era voter suppression tool, were not abolished federally until 1964.

@MindShiftKQED Every parent, every year, the first week or two of school. Then on a rotation during each grading period. It made all the difference in my work with students and their families.

Not to get political, but America is very pretty and has a lot of nice folks making cool things, and I think if we elect a president who won’t actively try to kill us, we could have a pretty good time

RETWEET this. Every day. Until Election Day.

Anyone anywhere in America who tells you Donald Trump will be better for the economy needs this tweeted at them IMMEDIATELY.

In CA, this is the job of Teacher Librarians who are trained and prepared to do this work. Ask your superintendent how many schools in your district have TLs. (Teachers of other subjects do not have this training/preparation as part of their licensing.)

@neilsomebody @propublica The TX law passed in May, 2021 and was allowed to stand by SCOTUS by Sept 1, 2021. One argument made by opponents of the law is the “chilling effect” it has on doctors’ decision-making even while it is being adjudicated.
