A city ordinance banning public homosexuality has reached Rutherford County Libraries. You read that correctly. Now it is being used to potentially pull all LGBTQ+ books off of the shelves in a meeting Monday. Subscribe to support my work, and read more. 🧵

Danica Roem's race is being called, and she will become Virginia's first transgender Senator! She was in a very hard fought race, where hecklers openly shouted transphobic slurs at her in town halls. Anti-trans politics does not win elections. Congratulations, Senator Roem!

In June 1995, the Clinton White House was hosting a reception for openly gay elected officials and the Secret Service, fearful of contracting HIV/AIDS, processed them while wearing rubber gloves.
Rep. Mark Pocan@RepMarkPocan

I often get asked why I have this pair of rubber gloves framed on the wall of my office. This #lgbtqia History Month, I want to share that story. 👇

There is no solution to child care that capitalism can provide. Families can't afford to pay any more, providers can't afford to pay any less, and workers make less than a barista for stressful, essential work. The only solution is public, universal child care access.

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.

Today and every day I am so, so grateful to librarians whose work is absolutely essential to making art and information available to all--even amid absurdly difficult working conditions. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

I don’t understand how COVID is spiking again after we’ve tried everything from pretending it’s over to pretending it never happened
