THE V-WORD, a sex and queer positive title I edited, has been the target of a book ban by the board of @LafPubLibrary. Today this group, stacked with Christian radicals, will try to fire a librarian over this book and other LGBTQIA titles.
Read on for actions you can take:
A #librarian in #lafayette, #louisiana will be FIRED on Monday for speaking out against #censorship. She is being targeted to intimidate other librarians & to remove anyone who will stand against them. We need help! @neilhimself @MargaretAtwood @doctorow @amberjkeyser @junodawson
ALT On Monday, July 25 the library Board of Control will attempt to fire North Regional Manager Cara Chance. Please show up to support a librarian who has devoted herself to our community. South Regional Library, 6101 Johnston St, Lafayette, LA 5:15pm, www.lacitizensagainstcensorship.org. "There is no professional librarian who would bow to censorship. None," North Regional Library Manager Cara Chance told the board. "It is in the librarian's code of ethics not to bow to censorship, not to allow one person or one group to dictate all of the information and to impose their view on the entire community."
There are many kinds of loss and this definitely feels like one of them.
Indivisible Bend is closing down, but the fight for an equitable and just future for people and planet continues. Please click to read a message from current leadership. - mailchi.mp/a70baba12b3f/impo…

Thank you for the shout out. Rape culture is like a toxic soup we all swim in and it’s poison is borne most heavily by Black and brown women.
Y’all should read this book if you haven’t. Yea it looks like I’m virtue signaling, however, but this is an issue that’s faced by everyone(namely black and indigenous women). Written by: @amberjkeyser

I encourage you to find a way to support Indigenous people in the US this week.

Thiel and Musk believe that the world works best if people like them are in charge, get to do whatever they want to do, unhampered by regulations or demands for equality – because they are convinced that their personal interest is identical with the interest of humanity itself.

A wild week for book bans -- from MO, TX, SC, and now, OK. This has gotten less attention but we @PENamerica are investigating. It really takes the cake!
Owasso, OK district pulled EVERY GRAPHIC NOVEL -- over ***3,000 books*** -- after 1 complaint...

I would be so sad if my claim to fame as a woman was that I embodied an overpriced purse.
Complex, alluring, utterly magnetic. The spirit of the new Panthère de Cartier bag is embodied by the inimitable Lily Collins. #PanthèredeCartier

You aren't anti crime if your pro insurrection
You aren't pro free speech if you're for banning books
You aren't pro-small gov if you're for abortion bans
You aren't anti- violent crime if you're pro gun
You're a Republican hypocrite.
Yes! Yes! Yes! We’ve got to get out there and do everything we can.

Hope is something you do, not just something you feel. As #Shabbat begins tonight, we’re reflecting on the many ways we put hope into the world, and the ways we work together to create meaningful change. Shabbat Shalom!
Props to @olivertatom in this debate! Savage and gracious all at once! He has my vote!

I love @morgan_schmidt! She is so smart and compassionate. Can’t wait to vote for her!!!
I love this message! @JamieforOregon doesn’t take herself too seriously, and her compassion for Oregon and Oregonians are absolutely 100% real. I trust her and want to see her in Congress! She’s got my vote!
DC needs a Central Oregon perspective that will protect our Oregon way of life and our personal freedoms. In Congress, I'll work to lower the cost of living and stand up to extremists. I will take on anyone to get things done for Oregonians.

Great coverage in @bendbulletin today on the exemplary work being done by the current council. Can’t wait to see Melanie Kebler as mayor so she can continue the awesome work on behalf of our community @KeblerforMayor
Great to connect with other city leaders and receive important training from experts at the @OregonCities Conference taking place here in Bend.
Maybe @cheriheltOR doesn't know any actual Jewish people?
Menorahs are for Chanukah. "Have a blessed day" is what Christians say. The dangling stars feels like Christmas.
I'm hangry because I'm fasting for Yom Kippur. Vote #christinastephenson for Oregon Labor Commissioner
We are lucky to have the leadership of @TheBroadman in Bend!
I enjoyed our conversation on @KTVZ about this important measure. I’m voting yes for gun safety.
