@GovBraun Over 600,000 Hoosier kids will miss out on Sun Bucks, a program designed to help families make their grocery budgets stretch when kids are away from school meals. It's not too late to opt Indiana in to participate in this vital child nutrition program!
@MeghanMcCain@SenToddYoung@TulsiGabbard I'm from Indiana and I applaud @SenToddYoung for thinking for himself! I think it's a complement for him to be called the "new Liz Cheney". More Republican's need to follow suit and stop bowing down to King Donald.
@johngreen Thank you @johngreen! Sadly, Indiana recently passed HR1448 so teachers & librarians need your support even more. https://t.co/ULNCOfW5mw via @indystar
Authors often get most of the attention when it comes to issues around book banning and intellectual freedom, but those who really deserve the plaudits and attention are the teachers and librarians and community members doing the work every day to keep books available.
They often take far greater risks than any author in defense of intellectual freedom. So the next time you see a teacher or librarian, please thank them on behalf of authors, readers, and the communities they serve.
Having a stressful week? On the bright side, you didn't get called out by @johngreen, then respond by broadcasting your cowardice and incompetence to the world. (Unless you're one of four @HamiltonEastPL board members. In which case, you totally deserve the week you're having.)

@johngreen Thanks for your support! I'm a retired school librarian. Loved your books & always included them in my secondary school library collections. Also part of a group of concerned citizens who attend HEPL board meetings & speak out against the new book policy.
My reply to the board members of @FishersIN and @NoblesvilleIN seeking to remove my books (and over a hundred others) from the young adult literature shelves in their libraries. Heartbreaking for this to happen in Central Indiana, where I live and strive to support.
@johngreen Our community has been speaking against this new policy pushed through by just 4 members of the HEPL board for months now. You may have just a "small voice" in these decisions, but it's amplified by the media. Please come speak at the next Board Meeting!
@johngreen Please don't penalize the cities served by Hamilton County East Public Library branches! The patrons of HELP don't support this action and have been speaking out against it for months at board meetings. Please join us!
@johngreen This is the result of four out of the seven Hamilton East Public Library board members pushing their radical right agenda. This library has branched is both Noblesville and Fishers. The majority of the citizens in these two cities do NOT support this move.
This is what happens when we elect leaders that put a higher priority on BS culture war issues than on providing reasonable government services
This is costing the library system upwards of $300,000
Simpler answer: ask your kids what they are reading https://t.co/Sd3uYTL9tf
