BANNED BOOKS WEEK Oct. 5-11, 2025. Censorship is so 1984 - Read for Your Rights. ala.org/bbooks. American Library Association
Censorship is so 1984. Read for your rights.
Today kicks off #BannedBooksWeek, and this year's theme reminds us that the right to read belongs to all of us, that censorship has no place in contemporary society, and that we must defend our rights.

American cities are not “training grounds.”
What a disgusting concept.

I had to remove the 4/19 post as there was confusion on the times listed for Portland. There are 2 events that day, one 11-12 and the other 12-2. Maine Resists will be there from 12-2!
#maineresists #rallyaroundcommunity
just to confirm, the Bangor rally is now at the federal building instead of at the library?

No Kings protest in Augusta Maine today! good turnout despite the bitter winter wind.
now's the time to show up for your neighbors, friends, family, and people you don't know who STILL DESERVE HUMAN RIGHTS.

Everyone should be aware of the line that has been crossed in the Trump trans military EO.
No longer is this about "evidence," "science" or "protecting kids."
Now, explicitly, black and white, it's about trans people being "liars," "dishonorable," "false."
It's a big step towards very bad things.
"We are controlled here by our confusion, far more than we know. And the American Dream has therefore become something much more closely resembling a nightmare on the private, domestic, and international levels. Privately, we cannot stand our lives, and dare not examine them. Domestically, we take no responsibility for, and no pride in what goes on in our country. And internationally, for many millions of people, we are an unmitigated disaster." -James Baldwin, The Fire Next Time (1963)
I highly recommend The Fire Next Time by James Baldwin. His words on racial injustice, white supremacy/white liberalism, & Christianity are relevant, concise, & thought-provoking. it's time to be present, be involved, & take the initiative to learn!
