Corey Booker Just Showed the Model: Total Opposition Will the Democrats declare victory or see it as they should, a starting gun?

In an act that makes my prostate hurt even thinking about it, Corey Booker showed the only model that will help the Democrats survive—total opposition.

He broke segregationist Strom Thurmond’s record.
Chuck Schumer should step aside for him tomorrow.

Corey Booker just raised the bar, concluding with a call for “good trouble.” Now his fellow Dems need to clear it—and raise it higher.

22 hours down, Corey Booker. Just 3.7 years to go.

yall we can’t collectively screech that “no one’s doing anything!” and then say “no not like that” when someone actually does something.

is Booker’s filibuster gonna save the world? of course not. but since courage begets courage it could lead to more. I’m fucking cynical as hell but come on.

"Bravery isn't an emotion, it's an action."

Perhaps the point of this is not to deny rebellion, but to only go to war with those you trust implicitly.

Libby/Overdrive doesn't charge like Hoopla does. That is a fantastic ebook and audiobook option.
Push for better funding for libraries and push for publishers to work more closely with libraries to provide ebook options.

This is what America is, even if you don’t want to see them. They deserve all of our support. Make sure you give them thanks before eating the food they helped get to your table.

This needs to be said, loud, and often.

I don't know my 1st one, but my most recent was a re-read of Parable of the Sower.

Ebooks and Tumblebooks and educational videos are still good. My kiddo loves the Mo Willems stories on video.

Never forget: READING FOR PLEASURE has the biggest positive impact of any factor on children's life chances. So never stop sharing books with kids. Never stop reading to them, and helping them to read. Never stop changing lives. #literacy #kidlit #books

Some people don't think it's going to happen. When a conman TELLS YOU that he is a conman... believe him.

On this #TransDayOfRemembrance a reminder... united we stand.

School libraries in Yakima Valley feel the pinch as districts cut back School libraries and librarians play a key role in students' learning. But school districts are making tough budget decisions in the face of budget challenges and inflation.

School librarians support Ss & Ts & Admin w/info literacy instruction, research skills, inquiry & leading in strategic initiatives around literacy

Hiring a certified school librarian pays off tremendously if this position is maximized to the fullest!

Silly little crochet fidget turtle I made. I clearly made mistakes on it. But I'm proud of it anyway.

It's Only Stanley by Jon Agee is a fun read-aloud picture book. I like the cat. I do wonder where the cat is in the last couple pages.

I did a display at work of mostly teen books and the conversations the teens are having are fantastic.

I'm normally a "don't touch me" person but I also won't leave a high five hanging. Must remember extra hand sanitizer tomorrow! <3

Seconded! I love this story! It comes up with Drag Queen Story Time a lot but it's based on dyslexia.
